adoption update and foster care

Yes, we are still in the process of adopting Lydia and Leo. Things are once again moving along at a snails pace but hey, they're moving! YES, we (Rachel, Adrian, and I) are going to Liberia in June for ten days! YES, we will meet our children. I can't wait to see them and hold them.
I simply cannot believe that the Lord would allow us to be a part of what He is doing in another part of the world. I am amazed and honored! More details later but please pray now!

And finally YES we are taking in foster children. We are in need of beds, two twin bunk-beds and four mattresses. Please if anyone has bunk-beds or mattresses or money to donate toward them let us know. Help us help the children of Tennessee!
You can find more information about becoming a foster parent by going here http://www.childhelp.org/regional/tennessee
Or contact Child Help at 865-579-5498 to find out what you can do. Christians, this isn't a problem for the government! These are children. They are children that are made in the image of God, eternal souls that need hope, love, and a future. YOU can help break the cycle so many of these children and their families are living in.
It's your call. What are you going to do, sit "uncomfortably" on the sidelines or jump in and be Jesus to these children in need. It's your choice.
