Suddenly it's Spring: November 2012

MILLIONS!

There are millions of orphans in our world. That's millions of innocent children with no one committed to loving and teaching them as they grow. Far too many children aging out of their orphanages each year and expected to fend for themselves with no support and a great deal of stigma against their orphan status. There are many children with health issues who do not receive the medical care they need to survive or thrive. We believe that God, who offers to love and adopt each of us and meet our every need, longs for us to go and do the same. There are many hurting people in this world and many ways to help and we certainly don't expect that every person will pursue adoption. We do hope that more will.

Homestudy

Our homestudy is written and will be sent for editing this week. After that it goes to the AB govt for approval (4-8 weeks). We are making progress on this long journey!

Next Saturday we get to visit with a family in Edmonton who brought their little girl home from Ukraine 2 months ago. We are very excited to meet them and ask our endless list of questions.

It is such a blessing to be on this journey of redemption. We are so thankful for the opportunity and privilege to be involved in God's work in this way. If you are interested in more information on adoption, we are only too happy to share our bit of experience. Give us a call or drop us a note.
