Dear Friends, every day I reflect on the words of James 1:27,

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans… in their distress.”

In my mind, there are many ways to achieve this “commandment” we are given by God.  Adopting is one of them.  Facilitating adoption is another one.  Sending humanitarian aid is another one.  Raising awareness of the overwhelming number of special needs children available for adoption is another.

By raising money to offer financial assistance, YOU are able to give adoptive families the extra financial help they need to bring a child with Down syndrome home from a miserable existence in overseas orphanages.   These children are viewed as outcasts with no ability to learn or be functional members of society.  They languish in mental institutions, hidden away from the world in shame.    If you have a child of your own with Down syndrome, or know a person with Down syndrome, ask yourself if it would be OK  if YOUR CHILD or friend or family member was left for dead and treated as a worthless waste of oxygen?   That is the reality in countless countries in the 21st century.  STILL.

Your donation to a child’s grant fund can be the difference between whether a family can adopt or not.   Your sponsorship of an orphan already matched with a family brings that child one step closer in a precarious journey home.

Even if you are not able to adopt a child at this time, you truly can change the course of a child’s life by helping adoptive families afford the costs of international adoption.  $20, $50, $1000….whatever you have goes into an interest-bearing fund for ANY family adopting a child with Down syndrome.
