In this brief, first‑person monologue, the speaker recounts being adopted and later adopting infants from the foster care system. She highlights the existence of over 350,000 children awaiting adoption and the parallel number of congregations in the United States. She proposes that if each church helps find a family for just one child, all children could be placed within a generation. She then expands the vision, suggesting that if 1% of those adopted children grow up feeling loved and inspired, they could become 3,500 adults who go on to make a positive difference in the world. The overall message is a passionate, scalable call to action for churches to engage in adoption.

When I was 16, and it changed the course of my life. I did get my babies from the foster care system, and they were four months old. So think about this. These 350,000 children. There's more than 350,000 congregations in this country. If each church takes on finding one family to adopt one child, we can get this done in our lifetime. But bigger than that, what if 1% of those 350,000 children was so inspired from being loved and having a family just like me, just like I was? That'd be 3,500 kids that grow up to be 3,500 adults that decide to go make a difference in the world.
