143million kids are considered to be orphans in our world.  They are in need of loving families and strong support systems. As most of you know orphan kids are near to our heart as they are near to the heart of our Father. Our neighbors need our help.

 Why don’t you consider what you might be able to do to help just one kid?  It might be adoption or foster care. It might be that you are available as a safe family for parents to bring their kids for a time while they sort it all out. It might be going across town or across the Pacific. 

The Peterson family of North Carolina just got back from Haiti and wrote a great account of their adoption of two wonderful kids.

Beth writes….“Adoption isn’t about heroic people doing something amazing. To me adoption is about
followers of Christ answering a call to love like Christ does and in return they get to see Jesus in little eyes.”
