Orphan Sunday and Together for Adoption

A new initiative by the Christian Alliance for Orphans and Every Orphans Hope - Orphan Sunday events are being organized all over the country on November 8th. Check out the new Orphan Sunday website to see how you can be involved!
Another great event coming up is the Together For Adoption conference at Christ Community Church in Franklin, TN October 2-3, 2009. I will be there along with Jason Kovacs and his family representing ABBA Fund and Hope For 100. I look forward to seeing many of you there!

Empowered to Connect

Michael and Amy Monroe have been great advocates for Dr. Karyn Purvis and her work. Empowered to Connect is a wonderful new online resource featuring articles, videos and audio. The Connected Child is a book that I would highly recommend for any family preparing for adoption or looking for answers. It's great that this information is being compiled and made available online!

Camp Nathanael

I spent at least one week every summer at Camp Nathanael when I was a kid. Now my kids are having a great time at Camp Nathanael! We spent last week swimming, riding horses and camp fires. I was a team leader for 29 high school teenagers. Heidi helped out with Kid's Klub for the staff kids and they had a fun week hiking, riding and making lot's of crafts! We're now in Lancaster, Ky staying at a guest house on a farm with some friends. The girls are excited about riding horses again tomorrow and we'll be heading home Tuesday.
