We have just added Elias to our hearts .   He lives in Tanzania and is 8 years old.  We have decided to sponsor him through Compassion.  “Sponsor” is most certainly the correct term… I used “adopt” early one morning as the boys were getting ready for school.  I was so excited to tell them Matt and I had decided to sponsor him that night before… but I used “adopt”.  So after I got through my spiel, Christian piped up and said “so when are we going to pick him up?!?”  And that’s when I realized “adopt” is not the correct term…  We wrote him his first letter tonight!
