THE BETHEL UNIVERSITY q L A 1WPiI i Tuesday, October 12, 2004 'Everyone speak the truth to your neighbor" Volume 80 * Number 3 Outside the Bubble Krista Clark Edito r- in - Ch ief World Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld visited U.S. troops in Iraq and emphasized the importance of their mission there. He feels that violence is more probable as the January elections draw near in Iraq. Rumsfeld said that 14 of Iraq's 18 provinces are seeing fewer attacks and that, as more Iraqi security forces are trained and armed, the situation will steadily improve. Nation Actor Christopher Reeve, star of "Superman" and widely known for his paralysis, died at the age.of 52 on Sunday after going into car'- diac arrest in his home in New York. He had been treated for a pressure wound, which became infected and led to a systematic infection. Reeve was admitted to the hospital but never regained consciousness. Minnesota Richard Ashton Oslund, resident of Monticello, goes on trial today for being accused of gunning down an armored -truck guard six years ago in Bloomington. It took police four-and-a-half years to arrest a suspect after the incident occurred. If found guilty, Oslund faces a maximum of life in prison without parole. Adoptive parents are nationally recognized, and one Bethel family closely relates Meika Vogel StaffWriter Mike Hos*kin and Jeanne Keller, along with two other Minnesotans and representatives from across the country were recognized in Washington D.C. at the Angels in Adoption ceremony on September 23. Hoskin and Keller adopted two teenage siblings from Minnesota's state foster care system; kids across the nation are waiting to be adopted, over 690 in Minnesota alone. Many families represented in the Bethel community have either adopted or fostered children too. Some chose adoption The Horn family, including biological and adopled children, as well as in-laws: (back row, left to right) Martel, Josh. Josiah. Micah. Jeremiah, Stephen; (middle row) Marian, Awna. Julie, Dan; (front row) Joseph, Shauna, Cheryl, Kevin, Jess as a result of infertility, while others feel a call to reach out to children and adolescents in need. Depending on the family, there may be a mixture of biological, domestically adopted, internationally adopted, and special needs children. Senior Josh Horn is from one of these families. After having four biological children, his parents, Dan and Cheryl Horn, "fell like the Lord was calling [them] to do more or something different, and that's when [they] began to do foster care for [their] county." Today, the Horn family has 10 children, four biological and six adopted, ranging in age from 4-25. Currently, they do ■ not have any foster children in their home because, Cheryl said, of the "intense needs" their adoptive children have. "Since the time my family started .doing foster care, we've had close to 35 kids come through our home," Josh said. Two of those children, biological brothers of each other, were the first to permanently join the Horn family. "We saw the desperate need of these children to be adopted," Josh said. Next, they adopted a child who had been born prematurely. "God put it on our heart and we fell madly in love with him," Cheryl said. The final three adoptive children, who are African- American, are biological siblings. The six adoptive children in the Horn family have many struggles, such as having ADHD, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, or being crack babies. Cheryl said, "the kids that we have taken were the ones that nobody else wanted." These special needs kids have been a blessing and challenge for the Horns. "The biggesl thing is the huge blessing of watching kids that, for all intensive purposes, our society said weren't worth anything or that would never amount to anything, and watching the Lord work in their lives, change their lives, in incredible ways," Cheryl said. The challenges Dan and Cheryl face consist of working to obtain the care their special needs kids require in school, as well as adjusting lo the idea that they'll never lead a normal life: "because we're human its easy to get tired and to want to have a normal family life, and we'll never really have that...Our kids will never be independent enough," Cheryl said. The foster care and adoption processes have impacted the biological children of the Horn family as well. Josiah Horn is a graduate of Bethel and majored in Social Work. He and Josh, a nursing major, have been shaped by their family. Josh said, "I know the way I see life is because of the way I've been raised in a loving family, knowing what a family is, and wanting to share that." Cheryl said, "It has built within both Dan and I and our biological kids an incredible gift of learning patience and love... It's given our family just a much broader sense of commitment to each other and that's probably the best way that it's impacted it." "We all have different ways that the Lord has called us to be used....If God tugs on anyone's heart strings [with regard to foster care or adoption], they can contact us," Cheryl said. My own parents, Drew and Jean Vogel, decided to adopt children after struggling through infertility. Through Bethany Christian Services, they adopted me and my two younger brothers. We all came from different biological families, but all of our birthmothers, being Christians, gave us up for adoption because they desired for us to be raised by both a mother and a father. Bethel graduate speaks to social work students about helping Bhurma refugees Sarah Nichols News Editor According to' 1999 Bethel graduate Angela Nelson, a typical "eight to five job kind of drives [her] crazy." But Angela Nelson is anything but a typical social worker. After graduating with a major in social work and a minor in Spanish, Nelson spent two years working as a social worker in Puerto Rico with AIDS patients and women in drug treatment programs. continued on page 3 "Realizing the Dream," pg. 2 Classic college cars students drive, pg. 9 Football on the rebound for St. John's, pg. 13
