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.

Prayer

As we partner with God on this journey, we realize the need to hold it all with open hands. This is not easy.  I find myself trying to control, as if I had any possible control of the outcome.  It's humorous really but my heart gets involved and I want everything to go the way I think it should.  All this to say, "We need prayer."  Would you pray for us, for the process, for government officials who approve (or not), who get to our paperwork in a timely manner (or not), for our hearts to be in the right place, for the protection of a little girl who waits?  We would really, really appreciate anyone who wants to join us in this journey by bringing all of this before our gracious Father to the Fatherless.
