Powerful stories leave permanent impressions.  Even far-fetched ones can shape our perspective for the long-haul.  So when a story carries the unspoken message that orphans are damaged goods or that adoption could destroy your family, they can’t be let lie.  We need truer stories.

One of the most unforgettable orphan stories I’ve read is “Castaway Kid.”  The book tells the true story of Rob Mitchell, who grew up in one of the last of the American orphanages in Chicago.  It is heart-rendingly real in exposing the struggle and even brutality many orphans face.  Yet, it also shows there is so much hope even for kids who’ve known the worst of circumstances.  If reached to in love and borne up by faith, they can go on not only to be “survivors,” but to become agents of transformation in the lives of countless others.
