Will You Help?

Adoption is a beautiful picture of the Gospel, how God takes a stranger and makes him or her into His child. There are so many references to adoption in the Bible. God's call is upon all Christians to care for widows and orphans. Not everyone is called to adopt, but everyone is called to care for orphans in some way. That could mean giving of time, money or resources to help another family to adopt.

Our family will be adopting two orphans from Ghana, West Africa. Ghana is considered a developing nation, though much of the country still lives in extreme poverty. Many children in Ghana will not eat today because they are too poor. Many are left alone because of the death of one or both parents due to disease or illness. Our deep desire is to bring just two of these little ones into our home, to love and nurture them as our own for the glory of God.

 Will you help us to be able to do this? International adoption is very costly. We are in need of immediate funds to move this adoption forward. One way you can help is by going to our fundraising page at Coupaide.com. Check out the amazing deal you can get on restaurant gift e-certificate. You'll be helping us raise money for our adoption, and saving money on eating out at the same time. It's a win/win! You can find it here: http://coupaide.com/deal/miller-family-adoption/.

    Kim, we are so excited about this adoption! We will be praying for your family. Maybe one day we will have to talk about the while adoption process and what you learned, as it is something we are also very interested in doing.

    Janet, thank you so, so much! You and Penn have blessed us with your generosity and encouragement and your prayers mean so very much to us. We would definitely like to talk with you about our experience. It's been quite a ride so far, and it's just beginning!

    Kim,

    Would you consider using your blog as a journal of the whole process (even writing about what you have already gone through)? That way others (like ourselves) will know how the whole process happens, time frame from each step to the next, etc.

    And you are welcome. We are happy that God has used us to help your family.

    Janet,

    Yes, I would certainly be willing to journal our entire adoption process. I have a post in the works that shares a little bit more about what steps we have taken up to this point. It should be up in a couple of days.
