I came across your site as my daughter who brought up the interest several years ago that she wishes to adopt down syndrome children. Since her father and I are nearing our late 40's we realize that this window of opportunity has most likely passed us by so I am concentrating my efforts in helping her achieve her dream. She is only 22 years old and we have a couple of years to save for her to begin the process when she is ready and meets the requirements.
I pray for both Duncan and Rose nightly. The two of them have touched my heart in ways that I can't even describe. I will continue to pray for them until they find their forever homes.
RR what an awesome wonderful place. I'm so glad to have found you!
I am a wife to a man sent straight from heaven, a mom to 2 precious biological girls, one amazing little boy born with a limb difference adopted internationally and a soon to be son we are adopting from the foster system. I am passionate about God's call to care for orphans and love advocating for kiddos that need homes. We are also foster parents and are totally being blessed by loving on kiddos for a season. I love talking adoption so don't ever be afraid to ask questions.
Statistics There are more than 143 million orphans worldwide There are more than 800,000 children in America’s foster care system each year. More than 33% of Americans have seriously considered adopting, but no more than 2% have actually adopted. The Holocaust murdered about 11 million people, 6 million of them Jews, From 1973-2002 MORE THAN 42 MILLION abortions occurred in AMERICA alone. In 2001, 159 million people in America identified themselves as Christians, many who consider themselves pro-life, yet 1.5 million babies never saw life, and millions remained orphans worldwide-127,000 adoptions took place, the most common of these 127,000 was step parent adoptions, leaving approximately 142,873,000 kids still needing families
