Adoption Celebration

The Adoption Celebration/Shower went well this past weekend. Mandy, G-Mami, MC'd it. Including her, we had 4 adoptive families represented besides us. Many of those testified of the goodness of the Lord throughout that process. One family had adopted domestically and are now in the process of adopting in Liberia! One person was an adoptee who had also chosen to adopt when she was later married! It was a great time to celebrate the blessings of adoption.

After we shared our testimonies, the children were prayed for as well as those still waiting to be adopted; and then, we went into the fellowship hall and had refreshments and of course, presents! The children kept referring to this celebration as "Feliz Anos!" I gave up explaining about the fourth time...I have a few pictures that I will try to post at a later date. Some of the goodies they received included: clothing, a few toys, gift cards, 2-dollar bills, bubbles, and a humidifer (a smart buy!).

We will continue to support Children's Hope International and raise awareness of local businesses such as our photographer, who support adoption. We thank all of you who came and blessed the children, as well as all who have helped us bring them home...thank you!
