Kudos: Modern Versions of Hannah’s Story

From time to time, REFORM Talk will offer our kudos to particularly insightful blog posts.

This blog post is written by a Korean adoptee who compares real life stories to the biblical Hannah story.

She relates nine stories. Here is the ninth one:

“Modern version 9:

Hannah and Elkanah adopted a girl from Ethiopia.

International adoption system in Ethiopia is nothing more than a baby selling business, just like in every sending countries. corruptions, lies, coercions, kidnappings and money keep it going.

When the child started speaking their language, she said she has a family in Ethiopia.

The natural parents had been told that they would regularly receive reports and pictures of the girl and would see her for summers.

Hannah and Elkanah put on their refrigerator a magnet of the girl’s picture with the verse “I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him ” written under the picture.”
