Wednesday’s Child: Quamir

January 18, 2023

My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

YOU DON’T NEED TO ADOPT TO CARE FOR ORPHANS | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MAY 2011.

January 5, 2023

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MAY 2011.   ’m doing a tv appearance this morning – Mark and I will be on The 700 Club bright and early.  They invited me to talk about adoption, and as such I wanted to re-post some resources in case people come by looking for more information. I’ve written pretty passionately about the global orphan situation recently, and several people have asked: “What can I do if I’m not in a position to adopt?” Adoption is not for . . .

WHAT TWITTER IS FOR | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MAY 2011.

December 29, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MAY 2011.
