My friend Brent Gudgel at Deidox.com just sent me this short film called "Deidox: The Ivey Family." It's about adoption (and Haiti), and ultimately how we are adopted into God's family. I found it moving.

More of us need to consider taking sons and daughters into our families. The adoption doesn't have to be this official - it's all about a spiritual transaction that occurs where you offer protection and provision to someone who needs it. It happens in the spirit first and then the reality manifests just like it did for the Ivey family.

God intends for us to have many sons and daughters. You begin by taking them into your heart and then you follow God's leading in how he wants you to be a parent. You may well end up fighting to liberate your son or daughter. That's what parents do.

Have fun watching it!
