Birthday Total!!!!!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to Trinity's adoption for Gloria's Birthday yesterday. 


$350.00 (335 after paypal fees) in donations were received.  Thank you!

Gloria is THREE today!!!!

It's Gloria's birthday and she would like nothing more that to have you make a donation to Trinity :)

 

This is Gloria's 2nd birthday home, more birthdays home than in the orphanage!!!!! 

 

 

Will you help us celebrate our special dolly?

We are looking for 47 people to make a $10.00 donation.

 

Why 47?  Because sweet Glory has 47 Chromosomes!

 

Why $10.00 Because Sweet Glory was born in 2010

 and it is a nice even amount that nearly everyone can afford :)

 

 

 

For the donation, I will send you an "Adopted" bracelet.

 

The front says "ADOPTED" and the back says Ephesians 1:5

 

If you are not familiar with that scripture, it says

 

"He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself,

according to the kind intention of His will."

 

You can make the donation to our personal Paypal account here or to our RR account on the side of the blog.

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!  Enough money was donated to buy ....

BIBLES FOR ORPHANS

You helped place God’s Word in
the hands of orphans in Ukraine!

 

In total $1104.00 was donated!!

THANK YOU!

Adoption made this possible!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adopting out of birth order made this possible.

 

Adopting a sibling group made this possible.

 

Adopting across "racial" lines made this possible.      

 

The devil uses many lies to stop adoptions - don't let one of these stop you!!! 

 

 

 

These two boys love each other more than I could ever put into words.

 

See how Noah fits in the crook of Bub's arm? 

 

See how Noah melts into him?

 

That, my friends, is love, brotherly love, orchestrated by our Heavenly Father!

 

 

My answer ...

... to these questions ...

Is adopting a child with special needs fair to your other children?

Are your other children suffering because of sacrifices they make for that child?

Do your children resent their sibling with special needs?

Look at this picture ...

 

Is this a picture of a child who is suffering because of their sibling with special needs?

Or is this a picture of a child learning unconditional love?

Faith asked if she could nap with Seth this afternoon.  Seth isn't an easy kiddo to sleep with ... he rocks (see the protected walls we put up to keep him safe) he screams, he laughs, he gets in and out of bed and carries on a lot.  She does see those actions, but she loves her brother anyway!!!! 

Is that fair, is she missing something, is she suffering???

I am so incredibly proud of how all my children embrace one another. 

Please don't let the fear of what your other children may lose, have to endure, suffer ... stop you from adopting a child with special need.  They will gain so much more that you can ever imagine.

Is it hard?  Yep!  Is it worth it? Yep!  ... You and your other children will grow and be so much more than you ever imagined ... you all will learn how to be the hands and feet of Jesus. 

And a child that deserves a family ... will have one.
