November is National Orphan/Adoption Month

         I did an entry in April about child abuse awareness because that was the month where we were made to be aware of it and it is something that I am passionate about. Well, this month is another month that I am passionate about and that is because it is National Adoption Month. Those two things go in hand for me especially at my job. Children get abused and taken from their parents for some time in the hope of getting to go back but some don't get that chance but some do get adopted, which is very special.
          I might be mistaken in saying and comparing the two months but this month means a lot more to me because even though we should be aware of the abuse going on for sure. We should also speak up for adoption so those abuse children can have a forever family. Adoption is a important subject to me and close to heart. Working my job, I'm learning a lot about my adoption through Christ and what that looked like. That is why adoption is close to me. Even though, I don't know what it feels like with "real" humans, I know what it is like with Christ.
          If you are a Christian, then you have been adopted and you should pass that great feeling on to a child who needs to be adopted. I'm not saying go and adopt a child now because I know not everyone can. It is a lot of money and there are special people that God has called to go adopted. I believe that in some way everyone can support and family or a child that is adopting or being adopting.
           I will admit after working where I am working. It is a new dream of mine to adopt, I want to say like 10 children, but at least one or two children. If money wasn't in the way, I would really do 10 children. I just want to have that feeling of changing a child's life, not just for 3 months, but for a lifetime. I want to see the whole process in action and see who they end up being because of the Love of Christ. That is a gift that I can give easily to a child. That is something that I can pass on and let His Light shine through me.
              I would love to, at least, adopt a child from the states and then a child internationally. Just to learn the different and know I'm helping out all around the world. That is why I would want to adopt 2 or more. It would be a challenge but when it comes to children for me. Give me a challenge and I will do it. The hard part is finding a husband that is willing to do the same but if it is meant to be God will bring him to me in the perfect timing.
              I'm challenging you to go out this month and look for ways you can help in your community. See if your church have an adoption program you can help with or even families in the church that you can help out. Look into the non-profits in your community and see how they help children whether abused or adopted because those abused children will hopefully be adopted someday. That is the better way for them instead of being in the foster system all their lives. It is a road for those children.
              IF YOU CAN'T DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS, PLEASE, AT LEAST, JOIN ME IN PRAYER FOR PRAYING FOR THOSE CHILDREN THAT NEED ADOPTING AND THE FAMILIES THAT ARE ADOPTING. ALSO, TO RAISE UP MORE PEOPLE TO HELP IN THIS AREA BECAUSE SADLY IT IS ALWAYS GROWING, EVERYDAY. I will hopefully have most of my entries be about adoption this month too so please keep reading. If not, they will still be about the children I am working with.
