NATIONAL FOSTER CARE (AWARENESS) MONTH
There are almost half a million kids in the United States foster care system (and about 127,000 of those are waiting on adoptive families)! Luckily there are places like Big Oak Ranch and The King's Ranch right here in Alabama to take in the excessive amounts of children who have no foster home to walk into. If foster care isn't in the cards for your family, think about donating to these two wonderful facilities. They do great things!

We are thrilled that our chapter of "fostering" our girls is drawing to an end and becoming something permenant. With two adoptions and one birth coming up in June we plan on stepping out of foster care for awhile but I can't imagine we won't be back...one day. It's been an incredible experience. A challenging experience. One I feel good about and wouldn't change for the world. So many people have said, "I've always thought about doing something like that." You should! If it's in your heart PRAY about it. Doors, hearts, and minds will open!

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
