Twenty is enough
Back in 2003 when my Gospel quartet was traveling around the eastern half of the U.S., we had opportunity to sing along the beautiful Eastern Shore of Virginia one particular weekend.
For our Sunday morning service, we presented a concert at Belle Haven United Methodist Church. This was a memorable little church because there was a husband and wife present who had adopted 12 children from Russia. At the time, the children ranged in age from 3 years up to 16 and they were all there except for one. As you can imagine, the family literally took up an entire pew.
I ran across an online article this morning from November 22, 2007 about a family who had adopted 20 children. As I began reading the article, I quickly discovered that the family in this story was the same family we sang for 5 years ago. Only now they’ve added 8 more children including 2 from from Uzbekistan and 2 from Vietnam!
