NATIONAL ADOPTION MONTH #10FOR10 CHALLENGE
by Helpusadopt.org
Lauren White
November is National Adoption Awareness Month: On November 1, last year we brought our son home. On November 11, 2010, we were chosen by our daughter's birth parents. Adoption has been our compass, our North Star for building our family. We have been blessed in countless ways and given a perspective filled with hope and clarity. However for so many families who would like nothing more to adopt however cannot afford to even think about it because of the astronomical costs, its devastating. We ask you to honor our family's journey and support these families who want to open their homes and give far too many children who are waiting....their hearts.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.....from the bottom of ours.
10 years ago, our founders, Becky and Kipp Fawcett, asked a question that no one was asking and started a conversation that really mattered: What happens when people can't afford adoption? What began as a question has become a thriving, national 501(c)(3) grant program. Thanks to generous donors like you, Helpusadopt.org has awarded 230 adoption grants totaling over $2 million since 2007.
For the last ten years, we have helped place children in permanent homes so they can grow up knowing the support and love of a family; so that they can receive the life-saving medical treatments they require; so that they can enjoy just being a carefree child. But for every family we help, there are 10 more we have to turn away. We can't help but think about the children and families we are not able to help; they are no less deserving.
During National Adoption Month we hope you will accept our challenge and donate $10 (or more!) in honor of Helpusadopt.org's 10th Anniversary. Your contribution to Helpusadopt.org can change a child's life. #10For10
