Putting Sam to bed

Over the Christmas break Sam was looking at the waiting child list with me.  I can't give you too much details, but there was a child that caught his eye.  Here is our conversation that followed:

Sam:  He is like me.

Me:  Yea, he is a bit older than you.  

Sam:  So he doesn't have a family?

Me:  Not anymore. 

Sam:  That is really sad.  It would be cool if we could be his family.

Me: Yeah? Well then would would be a little brother. What do you think of that?

Sam: I wouldn't like it. (Thinking some more) Well, if he really needs a family I could like it. 

A few days later, after the wildness of Christmas, I was putting Sam to bed and he prayed, unprompted, for this little child to have new family.  That is my prayer too.  

My heart breaks.
