adoption



Here's the truth... 34% of Christian families are considering adoption, only 1% of them actually adopt.

And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me.
Matthew 18:5
 
"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act."Proverbs 24:12


147 Million Orphans
Two families who have adopted seven of their 13 kids.  They sell many products that go to feeding children in Uganda, a women's empowerment program, and adoptive family fundraising.  If you are one of their fundraising families, you receive 100% of the profit!  This is where you can buy those amazing handmade Ugandan paper bead necklaces.  They are actually based out of Nashville!  Both mom's have blogs if you want to see what life in an adoptive family looks like.
