On Saturday I met up with Roots, Inc Adoption Agency (Wendy’s Wonderful Kids) for a portrait session at the King Center here in Atlanta. This was my third shoot with them & I always enjoy these sessions. The kids are so great, but it makes my heart ache to know that they don’t have a loving family or home to call their own. I guess you can say it’s bittersweet. If people would take the time to get to know these kids, they’d also know how wonderful they are.
Many of these kids are older than one would imagine. I think the oldest child I met was 17. Even though they were on the verge of being considered an adult, they still held out hope that they would be adopted. You really have to admire that kind of resilience. Just like children who have families, they have interests, desires, hopes & dreams. They want to share their lives with people who will love them & accept them as their own. Again, they are really great kids who just need a chance. You’d be amazed at what providing a loving home will do for someone. For more information on Roots, Inc., click here.
