hard to imagine...

Our adoption agency recently sent us this, and I thought it was worth sharing...

Today there are more than 147 million orphans in the world, enough children to go three times around the world at the equator.

It is hard to grasp such large numbers, so picture being on a very long road trip.

…if you had these orphans hold hands in a line,  you would see over 1,700 orphans per mile;

…if you were to follow that line of orphans holding hands, driving 60 miles per hour, you could drive 24 hours a day seeing 1,700 orphans every mile, hour after hour, day after day, without stopping for over two months, and you would still see orphans holding hands.
