November is officially National Adoption Month, and while we are waiting for our LOA, I thought it a would be a good idea to post a little information about adoption.
"This is a time for us to be in prayer for the orphan in adoption, foster care and global orphan ministry. Most everyone you meet today has been or has known someone affected by the blessing of adoption whether domestic or international."
This is a quote from an article by Melissa Hovey. It is a great article and available for your reading pleasure at:

We are blessed to be able to adopt our children, yet there are many more who have not found their forever families. As we prepare to spend the holidays with our families and friends, please take time to remember those who are not as fortunate as we are, and do not have forever families to share with and enjoy.
Lastly, please be supportive of those of us in adoptive situations, and understand that by being "supportive", I am not referring to $. There are lots of challenges and opportunities that are unique to the adoptive family. We can use encouraging words, listening ears, and most of all prayers from our friends and families. Your support means more than I can ever express.
Love,
Amie
