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.

Project Homeward Bound Jewelry
I have been brain storming lately - and yes it's painful. lol. How can I make a little money for my family AND help support families bringing their children home? I tried making baby items, but the sewing machine and I don't get along very well. I can't crotchet. I can knit but it's taking me forever to finish my dad's afghan, that I started TWO years ago. BUT, I remember how much fun it was making the "Olivia" necklace last year as one of our fundraisers. So I bought a few things at the craft store (and had a few charms at home) and put my brain to work this afternoon. My idea is to donate a percentage of each item to a family currently raising money for their adoptions. :) Sounds like a plan. Let me know what you think!
Here is my first ever piece - and please remember I am a newbie - but a newbie with LOTS of neat designs in her head.
$5.00 plus shipping and handling **SOLD** (will make more and list them so stay tuned)
