Each year, November is recognized as National Adoption Awareness Month. While all adoption-related issues are important, the particular focus of this month is the adoption of children currently in foster care.
The theme of National Adoption Month 2005 is "Answering the Call." This theme builds on The Collaboration to AdoptUsKids' national recruitment campaign. The purpose of National Adoption Month is to raise awareness about the 119,000 children in foster care nationwide waiting for permanent families. Recruitment efforts are highlighted by encouraging America's families to "answer the call" to ensure the safety, permanency, and well-being of our children.
God calls each one of us to take care of the orphans.
James 1:27-28 (New International Version)
27Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
We all can help. We all can make a difference. If you are interested in learning more about adoption, please contact Christian Family Services by using the link on this page. If adopting isn’t really an option for your family, please consider making a monetary donation to CFS to help with the costs of helping children to be placed in permanent homes!
Congratulations to Eric and Jeri Cope and their new son Benny! We praise God that you opened your heart to adopting!
