Saving up for our next Adoption

If you are eating gluten free, sugar free, or low carb these days then take a look at my etsy shop. We are currently in the process of saving up for another adoption. I know other people can jump into an adoption both feet first but I just feel much better if I have the money saved up ahead of time.

We want to eventually adopt another special needs boy from China. I feel that is where the greatest need is. Hunter has been such a tremendous blessing that I can not imagine not doing this again. In fact, I would be happy to do it several more times if possible.

November is Adoption Awareness Month and it really is something that is heavy on my heart. There are over 147 million orphans in the world. Sometimes, to me that is so overwhelming. Here we are in America worried about where we are going to eat, if we can get that new car, what we are going to wear tomorrow, and so many other things that do not really matter. All this time there are children in orphanages all over the world that have nothing. We are so selfish. I know I should be doing more to help these children. Once you have seen these children, held these children, and loved these children it is so much harder to ignore the problem.
