As a mother, I have a passion for orphans. As the mother of 3 small children, I don't currently feel the call to adopt. This is the book for anyone similarly passionate about the plight of orphans, who doesn't see adoption as their calling. Carr outlines many peripheral issues that contribute to the problems that orphans confront, and calls the reader to greater awareness and action. Each chapter concludes with examples of actions that anyone can take, as well as actions requiring more commitment specific people may feel called to undertake. Care of the orphan is the responsibility of all people of conscience, not just those who have the ability and opportunity to adopt.
