Christmas Letter

I found this on a blog and just had to share. 

The letter that no orphan wants to receive

Dear little orphan,
I saw your photo today. You are so adorable!
Your eyes are so deep and full of hope.












I love your little smile, I know it must be hard most
days to find the strength to smile.












I have heard how little food you have,
and that sometimes you have to share food with your friends.
What a sweet and giving little person you are!

But I am writing this letter to tell you that I will not be able to help you.
You see my family is happy with the life we are living.
We already have four children and it would just be too much bother to the rest of our family to try and help you. 
I know that we could get bunk beds and you could share
 a room with one of our bio kids but really that is no life for either of you.


We have so much going on around here and life would be
too chaotic to add another child to our family.
We already have two children in dance classes and two
that play sports.  Christmas is coming up soon and our
children already have a Christmas list a mile long of things
they simply must have!  They have to keep up with their friends
when it comes to the latest toys and technology!
I have a ladies night out next week and I have nothing to wear.
I really need to purchase a new outfit.  I guess I could sponsor
you but it will have to wait until next month. I really
need that new outfit and my children are "dying" for some
fast food tonight.  Good luck to you and I hope that you
will find your forever family soon!

Merry Christmas from the Jones family

Please don't be one of the Jones' !!! Even if you can't adopt an orphan yourself, you could

help another family bring one home
