National Adoption Month
November is National Adoption Month, and this month especially, we like to highlight organizations that are making an impact on the lives of kids who are in foster care just waiting to be adopted. Of the nearly 400,000 kids currently in the U.S. Foster Care System, just around 120,000 of them are just waiting to be adopted. Sadly, many of them will age out, never having the opportunity to be a part of a forever family.
Every November we like to bring awareness to this--the overabundance of kiddos who need families, and the amount of willing families who are hopeful to bring these little ones home.
THIS YEAR, WE WANT TO HELP SPONSOR 6 FAMILIES WHO ARE HOPING TO ADOPT. EACH OF THESE FAMILIES HAVE UNIQUE STORIES, AND WILLING HEARTS. EAGERLY CHECKING OFF EACH BOX NEEDED TO GET CLOSER TO BRINGING ONE OF THESE NEARLY 120,000 KIDS HOME. BUT, THEY NEED YOUR HELP! LET'S HELP THEM WITH RAISING THE FUNDS NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THEIR ADOPTION PROCESS.
As our gift, 50 Percent of the First Six Sales Placed During National Adoption Month Will Be Donated to these Six Families. That's where you come in, friends! Or, you can donate toward each family's efforts, without placing an order, by clicking below and donating to them directly.
please read and share their stories, so that we can help bring awareness and hopefully bring more kiddos out of foster care and into their forever homes!
Anna & Jordan Christiansen
"When we started dreaming of our future together, before we got married, we both knew we would love to adopt...In the midst of it though, we felt God’s grace in that He had prepared our hearts with the desire to adopt long before...We know that we cannot do this alone and we need all the support and help we can get..."
Marcus & Courtney Jackson
"We are a young, faith-filled couple excited to grow our family through adoption. Family, faith, and community are at the heart of our lives, and we can’t wait to share our love and traditions with a child.
Adoption is a beautiful but costly journey...Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to welcoming our child..."
William and Karen Allen
"We’re reaching out to you with open hearts and hopeful spirits as we embark on one of the most meaningful journeys of our lives — the journey to adopt and grow our family.
Will and I believe that God calls us to love deeply, give generously, and walk in community with others. We have and continue to pray about how we might grow our family not just by biology, but by love — and adoption has remained in our hearts as a beautiful expression of God’s grace..."
Jennifer & Walter
"On new year's day 2025 we received a phone call that would forever change our lives. We were contacted by Child Protective Services in another state, asking if we would care for our nephew. Little did we know, he was just born and...addicted to drugs, and had no prenatal care. We drove 900 miles away to pick him up from the hospital to bring him home. Thankfully due to us getting him, he did not get placed into foster care.
We were unaware of how adoption works, or how to start the process. We have drained our emergency funds into our nephews medical expenses for his specialty doctors..."
Royce and Andrea Hart
"It has cause us a lot of heart ache and thousands of dollars. We prayed about it night after night and God released to both of us the peace we needed to take another direction of parenthood by signing up with a private adoption agency here in North East Florida. We are just about done with the whole process...but will soon be faced with the cost..."
The Griffin Family
"We have BIG news!
We are adopting a child! We will begin as a foster home and trust God to lead us if adoption becomes part of the conversation. We are beyond excited and are doing everything we can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new life into our home...It may surprise you to hear that adoption related costs can easily total up to $35,000 or more...We hope that by inviting you into this process, you will pray for us and you will see yourself as part of the community we hope to build around our child as he/she grows up..."
The Faithful Love of the Lord Never Ends
Romans 12:9-10 says,
"Don't just pretend to love others, really love them...Love eachother genuinely. Honor one another above yourselves."
This is the example Jesus has shown us.
