Star 88.3 Adoption Celebration!

Star 88.3's Annual Adoption Celebration is coming up on Saturday, November 3rd.  The event will be held at Sonrise Church from 1-3pm (doors will open at noon). Many adoption agencies will be there with free information for those interested in adoption. This is a free event hosted by Melissa Montana and includes live music, testimonies, videos, and a lot of fun! Light refreshments and fellowship will follow the program.

This is a great event for families considering adoption, families in the middle of an adoption, and families who have adopted in the past to come together and encourage one another!

Orphan Sunday

Orphan Sunday is coming up on November 4th.  This is a special day set aside for us to be reminded of the millions of orphans around the world that need OUR HELP.  Visit the Orphan Sunday website and be encouraged by the video on the home page.  Ask yourself what YOU can do to help...  We may not be able to make a difference in the lives of ALL the orphans around the world, but how is God calling us to make a difference in the life of ONE?

Fundraise your Adoption through Shopping!?!

I know.... the title of this post doesn't make sense!  But did you know that you can raise money for your adoption simply by purchasing items through Amazon?  And not just your own purchases, but the purchases of your friends and family members too?!  OK, so here's how you do it!  Go HERE to this amazing blog about ADOPTING WITHOUT DEBT and learn how to set up your own personal Amazon account.  The financial side of adoption can be very intimidating for some people considering adoption.  But there are SO MANY ways to fundraise, SO MANY grants and scholarships out there, and SO MANY people willing to partner with you once you start the amazing journey of adoption.  Don't let finances stand in the way of what God calls you to.  Remember-  God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called!
