As I already mentioned in this blog, the children I was blessed to meet at Gift of God Orphanage (GOG) in Haiti are not up for adoption. The focus at GOG is providing great orphan care as those children are raised up to someday help their country. However, there are plenty of other children in Haiti and around the world who are available for adoption. I think this is a good time for that reminder being that November is National Adoption Month.
The short video below also goes along with adoption. It was made by a young woman who was on the All God's Children International team that ministered at GOG in August. I would like to dedicate this post to Kristin being that [LORD allowing] she will move to Haiti in March to serve as Director of Adoption Services and Missions at Hope Village, the orphanage currently being built by Global Orphan Hope. Kristin will play a part in helping Haitian orphans in being adopted so in supporting her through prayer and/or financially, YOU are playing a part in adoption as well!

November 6th is Orphan Sunday
Orphan Sunday is a day designated to raise awareness of the global orphan crisis. What can you do?
-PRAY for the estimated 163 million orphans around the world
-GIVE a monthly or one-time donation to orphan care
-GO on a mission trip to serve orphans
-ADOPT a child or become a foster parent
If you would like to make a donation, but do not have the money, there are ways to be creative. One thing we did a couple weeks ago was had a garage/bake sale and the proceeds were donated to Gift of God Orphanage. A friend of mine who brought some of her things to be sold offered to give her profit from Saturday to the orphanage as well. How sweet?!?
Another idea would be looking into couponing. There are a ton of websites that educate on how to save money through couponing. Maybe whatever you save could be donated to orphan care. Every little bit helps!
