The Hope of Adoption
Adoption is a topic that is so close to our hearts. We adopted Prince Caspian in March of this year and are about to finalize the adoption of Little Boy Blue in a month. Adoption has changed us as a family. Our biological children are keenly aware of the needs of orphans everywhere, not just in the foster care system. My husband and I are moved to tears by the needs of children around the world. It doesn't stop with the adoption of our boys... it is a burden on our hearts that continues.
I'd like to introduce you to my e-friend, Gracie. Gracie and I stumbled upon one another in 2007 back when our fostering blogs were both in the public domain. Since then, she has been a constant support and encouragement for our fostering experiences. Our friendship is a joy to me. The story of Gracie and her husband, Dave's parenting journey is touching and beautiful. Please take the time to read about their experiences here.
Gracie and Dave are also adopting a little girl named Adriana from Guatemala. Not only are they adopting a little girl, she is a very special little girl. Adriana is 20 months old and suffers from several special needs, including a dislocated hip, cortical blindness and epilepsy. This couple needs our prayers for this adoption. They also need assistance to get Adriana home!
It is a privilege for my husband,Alex and me to make you aware of this awesome opportunity to help to tangibly support the adoption of this little one. We believe this need has been placed before us for a reason... and we ask you to take the time to pray about contributing to this very, very worthy cause. Team Adriana is preparing for a triathlon in Alabama to raise funds and awareness for Adriana's adoption. Since we do not live in Alabama, we are supporting from afar.
All donations are tax-deductible and are handled through the Shepherd's Crook adoption ministry. Just make sure to include the name 'Adriana' in the description. Any donation, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated by this precious family. We urge you to help give Adriana the hope of a family and the medical treatment that she desperately needs.
Blessings in Christ,
Laura
