Who Can You Ask?

Ok so the topic of adoption has crossed your ears and your heart so now what? 

 You have watched friends or family members journey down the road of adoption so now what?  

Pictures or stories have reached your FB or blog about children who need families so now what?

The images of children with special needs is imprinted on your heart so now what?

NOW YOU PRAY!!!!!

Ask God if He is calling you to adopt one or more of these children who are living each day without love, food, basic human interaction.

Talk to your spouse about what they think or if you do not have a spouse talk with friends or family.

Read blogs of families who have adopted or are in the process of adopting.

Seek counsel from your church or those you have faith and trust in for wisdom.

Contact agencies such as:

• Children's House International-Nina Thompson at  nina.t@chiadopt.org or call her at 360*383*0623 (she has heart and passion that will stand up to any test)
• Lifeline -Stephanie Carpenter at stephanie.carpenter@lifelinechild.org or call her at 205*967*0811 (she is an adoptive mom as well)
• Sheltering-Wings-Ruth Cox at  yakorphans@gmail.com   or visit www.sheltering-wings.org (she works directly with orphans each day)

Nina and Stephanie are dedicated to helping families determine if adoption is a path for them and if so 

then they will help you through the process of making that dream happen. Their ethics and morals 

speak volumes of the love and compassion God has placed on their hearts to work in this field. Each 

one of these ladies has a heart for orphans.  They know the ins and outs of adoption and will help you 

each step of the way.  Their hearts are heavy with pictures of children who are in desperate need of a

 family to love them and take care of them.  If any of the above "now whats?" have entered your mind 

please contact one of them.  You can even contact them both and ask all the questions you want. 

Neither one of these wonderful ladies is in competition with each other but rather they both work hard

towards the common goal of adoption.  

Ruth Cox is a simply wonderful Christian woman who literally put her love for orphans to work right in 

Africa.  She lives each day making sure children can be taken care of to the best of her ability.  Nothing 

would make her day more than to know one of her precious little children will finally have the chance 

to be loved and cherished.

PRAY. TALK. RESEARCH. ASK QUESTIONS.

God will open the door He has chosen for you to walk through but 

you first have to want to get up and walk.
