PASSION

Ok so I am passionate about Jesus! I am also passionate about adoption. I was listening to K-Love radio on Monday and they were talking about some stats from Max Lucado. I missed the numbers, so I looked some up.

There are 2 to 3 BILLION Christians in the world.
There are 143 million orphans.
There are 100 million more kids living on the streets.

If every Christion family adopted one child or got one off the streets, problem solved!

I know it's not that easy. Many Christian families are living in third world countries (pray for them) or in poverty right here. Many are elderly. Most families would find the cost prohibative. But...if God tells you to adopt-ADOPT!

If that is not you, find another way to help the orphans, the most fragile of God's children. Give to an adoption agency so the can help folks who are adopting meet the financial needs. Or give directly to an orphange. Any of your friends who have adopted can give you names or contact people. E-mail me! I can give you several in Haiti, Russia, Kazakhstan and others, as well as in the U.S.

If you feel lead to help me, I would love to hear from you. The "About Me" has an e-mail link. God is leading me to ask. If He leads you to respond, please listen.

Real Time

I can't express in any words my feelings right now. I have tried every avenue I know to secure funds to adopt. Credit union loans, home refinancing, etc. all to no avail. Loans and grants from reputal agencies are limited in various ways that make them unacessable to me either at this time or at all because I am a single parent. (That hurts. There are a lot of single parents out there...seems a little discriminatory.) Asking friends and family to reach out and share my plans with their extended families has met with minimal success. To each of you have have offered help and prayers, thank you so much! It means the world to a little guy in Russia! And to me.

I am anxious, hurt, lonely, scared, depressed and confused. I have moved forward with each step of the process, however. I am confident that this is a road God want's me on, whatever the outcome.

But it's Real Time. This is the real story. If I am unable to secure funds in a REALLY short time, I will have no options or means left to go forward and continue trying to adopt this little one. With that in mind, here is my plea...

Do you know of an avenue that I can contact about borrowing from.
Can you or do you know of anyone who is in a position to make a private loan...
Can you or do you know anyone who can loan $1000, or offer it for barter or trade...
Do you have any ideas to offer that I can persue quickly...
Will you pray for God's desires for our family to come to pass...
I will explore any option!

Please leave me a message. I would be my pleasure to talk to each of you that has been following this story. Thank you for helping it unfold.

God Bless...
