Jaime sent me this link the other day and I just love the site (Thanks Jaime!).
We've really become passionate about foster adoption and not just for our family. There are so many kids out there that need forever families! It is one of our greatest hopes that other families close to us might also one day feel the desire to foster adopt. And I know some of you do! I have had many say upon hearing our news, "Oh, I've always wanted to do something like that!" We hope you will! This site does a great job of advocating for Christian families to adopt and it's pretty to look at too:)
Some statistics they throw out (just in case you don't want to go over and find out for yourself):
Domestic Orphans
· At the end of 2004, there were 517,000 children in foster care
· Of those, approximately 114,000 are currently available for adoption
· Average age of a child in foster care is 10 years old
There are more but I'll leave it at this (I fear copyright infringement although I'm pretty sure statistics are okay to cut and paste...right?).
