To look after orphans and widows

We know adoption is an incredible thing, and an incredibly hard thing.

We now know two families very dear to us that are in the process of adopting little girls from China. One of these families just happens to be my sis' family. The Williams are probably the best parents I know. When they told us they were adopting, it was no surprise. The daughter they are waiting for will be so blessed to have them as parents.

When we told Sophia that we would soon have another cousin, this one from China, she was also very excited and said she wanted one too (another sister/brother from China). She would be fine with ten more brothers and sisters…I tell her she can have that many of her own when she grows up.

The organization that Travis and Julie are using to help them raise funds is incredible. It helps both a widow and an orphan. So, whatever money we give helps them bring their girl home AND helps a group of volunteers do a project for or help a widow in some way. Please GO HERE to see the Williams' project page and consider giving to help bring baby Williams home and help a widow at the same time.

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27
