NATIONAL ADOPTION MONTH

I know I am so new at this adoption thing, but when we went for our interview with MS Families for Kids Thursday, our caseworker informed me that November is National Adoption Month. As I begin to think about the children that will soon be ours, I think about the ones that are still left behind in the foster care system. What if one family in every church adopted a child from foster care? So many of these children are going to live the rest of their lives feeling there was never anyone who truly cared for them. Our caseworker told us there are 18 year old kids who still beg to be adopted because when and if they go to college they have NO ONE to go home to during Christmas, Thanksgiving, Spring Break, or Summer. There is no family support there at all. Can you imagine? Pray about how God can use you to impact the life of a child. I truly believe that for Robert and I, this adoption is an act of Worship for our King. He only asks us to be available. He will provide the rest. Pray about your role in adoption.
