November is National Adoption Month
November is National Adoption Month
A Place Called Home Ministries would like take a minute and remind you of the needs of America’s orphans, especially those that are in the Foster Care System. According to the U.S. Administration for Children and Families there are approximately 496,000 children are in foster care in the United States. Of these children about 130,000 are available for adoption today.
November is set aside to remember the needs of these special children and their families. There are several ways that your congregation can help the plight of these children:
1) Support and encourage foster and adoptive parents in you congregation. There is such a huge need for more Christian parents to help break the cycle of discouragement and neglect that these kids suffer. Additionally the cost of adopting a child from foster care is minimal in comparison with a private or oversees adoption. Many churches are starting orphan ministries within their churches in order to promote the needs of these families.
2) Support current foster and adoptive families in your communities through Angel trees, gift card donations, tutoring, and most importantly prayer.
3) Support homeland orphan ministries that are working to change the circumstances of many of these children.
A Place Called Home (www.apchm.org) would love to help you reach out to America’s orphans. For more information please contact Steve Whyte at (334) 414-9345 or at sawhyte@apchm.org.
