Adoption is something so near and dear to my heart that I can truly say that I love to share it with anyone willing to listen! Do you realize how many orphans there are in this world? Over 147 million....that's right I did say million. Just thinking of all of those kids going to sleep at night without the love of a family breaks my heart. So many people say that they want to do something but they never do. Maybe it is because they do not know what to do, where to begin or how to help. Let me offer some tips...
1. Maybe you are the family that wants to make one less orphan in the world but you do not know where to begin....start
by doing your research. Look into what you are willing and able to handle. Are you interested in foster care, adoption,
international or domestic. So many options...
2. Maybe you are the family who says I want to but I cannot afford it, I can tell you that God never said it will be easy and
there will be sacrifices along the way but it will be oh so worth it!
3. Maybe you are the family who is able to help out with another family's adoption. It can be very costly to proceed with
an adoption. Many people, myself included, work overtime, make items to sell, hold fundraiser etc. It is NOT because
we cannot afford the child, it is that there is a lot of money due in a quick time frame when adopting. If you are able to
help, do what you can to help that family's legacy in bringing the child home. You will be rewarded too!
4. Do you have an orphan ministry in your church? If not, why not? Are you willing to help start one? What a blessing
that can be! If you need information on getting one started, please email me at n2mec4god@cfl.rr.com and I will get you
some info!
You see, we can make a difference in this world! We are working on bringing home a baby sister and we have already been oh so blessed by our first princess! She has been a blessing to others too!
Just look and see what love can do!!! God Bless you all!
