National Adoption Month

As a mom blessed through adoption, I just want to encourage everyone to consider adoption ~ There are so many sweet young ones all over this world waiting for their forever families and so many ways you can help.  Even if you don't personally feel called to add to your family through adoption, you can still raise awarness and help in so many ways.  Maybe there's a family that is in the process of adopting that you can help out.  Maybe there's a young woman facing a hard choice, encourage her to know that there are good, loving families that already love her child and would love to add him/her to their family.    There are children in the USA as well as other countries around this world that need sponsors to help them find their forever families, you could be their HERO by sponsoring them and helping raise funds for their adoption funds to help their forever family bring them home sooner.

Personally, my family loves and supports Reese's Rainbow, an organization that specializes in helping Downs Syndrome children in other countries to find their forever families.  They help children with other disabilities as well, especially children who are HIV+.  They do amazing work.  I encourage you to check them out and choose to be a warrior for one of these precious children.  

Being an adoptive mom doesn't make me anything other than "just a mom".  She may not have grown in my womb, but I assure you, she grew in my heart.  I adore and love her more than life itself.  I'm proud to call her my daughter and am blessed that she calls me MOM:)
