Mere Days to Find a Family!

Hello again!  I know; it's been far too long since I've posted anything in here, but before I get back to updating the blog, there is something far more pressing I need to share with you.  There is a young man who MUST find a family to commit to adopting him by next week or he will be forced to leave the orphanage and survive on his own at the tender age of 16!  This is unacceptable! We need to find him a family!

Please read the post below and share it in every way you can until his family is found!

Welcome Home!

Are you attending? Together for Adoption Conference 2011 in Phoenix, AZ

Only a little over a month from now, people from all over the country with a heart for orphan care and adoption will be gathering for the Together for Adoption Conference.  There will be some wonderful speakers and amazing breakout sessions, and all my Project HOPEFUL peeps will be there, too! I don't know that I'll be able to go, so I may have to live vicariously through those of you who do <grin> .  Don't let me down; I want pictures, video, tweets and FB updates all weekend long, people! Lots. Of. Updates. 

So who's going?

Fundraiser: Infant with Down Syndrome needs a family to adopt him. Let's take the financial hurdle out of the decision process!

A family is urgently needed for a bi-racial little boy who was born last week.  He was released from the hospital 48 hours after his birth and showed no other symptoms of syndrome. His heart was also fine at this time and now he desperately needs a family!  I want to make sure that his future family doesn't have to take the adoption fees into consideration when deciding whether or not to bless their home with him!  Please spread the word and use the Chip-In Widget to donate to this cause! ((took the chip-in down temporarily while I wait for confirmed permission to accept them - will update asap!!))



If you would like more information on adopting him, please contact me! 

Here is a video to help you pray for him:

Do you remember how awkward the early years of womanhood are? I know they're burned into my own memory and I can't imagine having to go through that as an orphan, can you?!  Here is a fabulous project for us all to find a way to help with:
