a haitian adoption

February 24, 2010

I had not planned to write about this (I have my posts usually planned days, often weeks in advance) but I feel it is worth taking time to mention. Remember my beautiful friend Spring who recently released a CD?

Well I just got word that her family is trying to adopt a son from Haiti. It's amazing how much happened in the 3 days we were gone winter camping! Spring is using the money from her CD sales to fund that effort. You can read more here about their journey of faith and hope and you can contact her about buying a (wonderful) CD to support their efforts.

I am so humbled and encouraged by friends who endeavor to practice true religion which, according to James of the New Testament, is expressed as "pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress..."

Wow, that's some serious stuff.

Congratulations to Spring and her family! That is a dream of Glen's and mine, to adopt children when we are finished having babies ourselves. We've already been in a position to adopt one baby, but unfortunately he passed away soon after birth. But our hearts are open to any children God places in our arms!

Congrats to Spring and family! Praying for a speedy process, that they slide right through the red tape, and have happiness abounding on their journey. Also, way to be a good steward by using her CD sales to fund an adoption!

Hope your trip was great and that the sickies are at bay.
