I have big plans for this website, I just need a little time to get it started. Not only do I want to advocate for the littles in Eastern Europe, but kiddos world wide. I met a WONDERFUL pastor from Port Au Prince, Haiti this past Friday at work. He was stopping by the New England states to thank the people that helped with donations to his orphanage last year. Let me tell you, this man is a gift to the people he helps. His wife took in a few kiddos off the street a few years ago, and now they have well over 80 beautiful children under their care. He also started a school for the local children, a medical clinic, church, etc. I am going to ask permission to post about his orphanage and mission here so I can help advocate for his children. He loves all the children very much, and loves his country.
Please also leave comments on what you'd like to see here as well. I also want to post info on children and causes that YOU are advocating for - so please leave messages! :)
There are as many as 140 million orphaned children and 16.2 million of those are “double-orphaned,” meaning that both parents have died. It is obvious that no one family, church, or community can bring home tens of millions of children. But if everyone who thought about adoption actually followed through and adopted one child, far fewer children would lie sick, neglected, exploited, dying, and forgotten.
Hi Kris,
ReplyDeleteAlways on my mind are Polina, Carolyn and Marat.
I did a post yesterday on very young waiting children who would blend into just about any family, seamlessly! http://journeytoonemore.blogspot.com/2011/02/nobodys-perfect.html
