African adoption

Friends and family in Colorado,

One of my friends from my highschool and APU days is living in Littleton with her husband and daughter and they are actively pursuing adopting in Ethiopia, East Africa. Right now they are trying to raise money for the adoption (it is SO expensive!). They are hosting a spaghetti dinner and silent auction on October 20 to raise money. If any of you have something to donate to the auction or are interesting in attending to support the adoption, please let me know. Brittlee does an amazing job at keeping her blog about the adoption updated, so please check here if you want any more information or are just interested. Also, of you are somehow compelled to help, you can give financially from their blog as well.

Brittlee has no idea that i am posting about this, i just think that one of the most precious things imagionable is to adopt a little orphan from Africa and raise them in a loving family - to give that little one a chance for his/her future. I think that orphan adoption is truly answering God's call to love the orphans and widows. I am just so moved and inspired by what they are doing, that i thought i would share with ya'll in case you are as touched as i am.

Thanks for taking the time to look at her blog. (for those interested in their adoption process, you can visit their other blog) Also, at this link you can purchase some hand-made jewelry that her mother has made for the adoption - beautiful African pendants and such...
