Adoption luncheon at Church today

After Church today we had a luncheon regarding adoption. Several families in our Church have adopted or are fostering children.

Did you know that.....

It is estimated there are between 143 million & 210 million orphans worldwide (recent UNICEF report)
Everyday 5,760 more children become orphans
Approximately 250,000 children are adopted annually, but...
Each year 14,505,000 children grow up as orphans and age out of the system at age 16
Each day 38,493 orphans age out
Every 2.2 seconds another orphan ages out with no family and no place to call home.


The facts I listed below really made Jason & I fall more in love with adoption. It breaks my heart to think that all these children are going through this.
We are still going to talk to Dr. Toma Tuesday but we are def not doing IVF.We both agree that it would be selfish for us to spend that money not knowing if it will work when we can use it to adopt a child.
Please keep us in your prayers. We are getting really excited about this journey we are about to endure.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress. James 1: 27-28
