Adoption...from the inside out

Read this great article "Adoption From the Inside Out" , it is good counsel...

It really prompts prospective adoptive families to have an honest self-evaluation as part of the adoption journey...

• Is adoption more about me or the child I will welcome into the family?
• What issues or challenges do I expect to encounter as I parent my children?  How will I deal with those?
• How will I respond if things do not turn out as I have planned after I bring my child home?
• How will those around me, such as friends and family, react if things do not go as planned?

 

Giving the Gift of Adoption!

 

Ken and Jana Cook are in the process of adoption, and received an Adoption Grant from one of Lifesong's partners, Highview Church Adoption Fund. 

Check out this story of how some folks are giving generously to help fund an adoption....Ken & Jana's testimony

Wouldn't it be fun to give a purpose-filled gift like that this Christmas?!...

Give an Orphan Child a Family

Reckless Faith

 

How is our faith - do we live it out in a safe...controlled...comfortable environment?

Is that the faith God intends for us?

It's about living with faith, with the certainty that God will show up, exactly where and when He's needed

"...a willingness to trust even when you don't understand..."

Thirteen years ago a mission trip inspired a young couple to move to Mexico to care for orphans and vulnerable children. This book illustrates God on the move in and through their experiences. Todd and Beth are awesome people who established a ministry (Back2Back Ministries)that helps orphans - the poorest, most defenseless members of a needy country.

Give it a read.

You might not be the same afterwards :)
