Mother of All Children

I came across this quote today: 

“Becoming a mother makes you the mother of all children. From now on each wounded, abandoned, frightened child is yours. You live in the suffering mothers of every race and creed and weep with them. You long to comfort all who are desolate.”      Charlotte Gray


For me, this especially became true after the earthquake in Haiti.  It's heartbreaking to think of mothers who have lost children or are unable to feed and care for them, or children who have been orphaned.  I watched CNN when they showed the 15 day old whose mother had died.  How would he eat?  It's not they can just run to the nearest Walmart.  I want so desperately to help, but I feel so helpless.  It's one reason I feel called to adopt, but how can I ever bring just one child home?  I know I'll feel guilty to all the others who are left behind.
