Adoption Awareness

November is National Adoption Awareness Month. I hope to blog every day this month about topics related to adoption (but no promises). Some days will be general, and quite a few will be specific to what we were doing one year ago on that day. I pray that God will speak to you and lead you to make a difference in the life of at least one child.

God calls us to care for orphans and widows. He isn’t calling some of us, but ALL of us.

During this month, I challenge you to find a way to answer His call:

  • If your church has an adoption or orphan ministry, get involved in it
  • If you know a family that is trying to raise funds to adopt, support them with prayers and/or monetary help
  • If you have a specific country that is close to your heart, find an orphan support organization that you can contribute to financially or through other service

Or maybe you feel called to add to your family through adoption. Every child needs a family. YOU can make a difference in the life of a child.

Please prayerfully consider how you can answer His call.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 1: 27
