"Wait No More: Finding Families for Georgia's Waiting Kids."

The Georgia Department of Family and Children’s Services, partnered with Focus on the Family ministries, is sponsoring a wonderful and challenging session from 10am to 2pm on Feb. 26th at Victory World Church, 5905 Brook Hollow Pkwy, Norcross, GA.   It is called “Wait No More: Finding Families for Georgia’s Waiting Kids.”  There are thousands of children in the foster care system in Georgia, but most people do not know that 1,500 of these children are ready and waiting today to be adopted.  State adoption is a very different matter from private adoption; for one thing, the state picks up the lion’s share of the costs involved.  Please publicize this event to your congregations and encourage them to visit the website to register or for more information http://www.icareaboutorphans.org/Georgia.aspx

 

God has made it clear that we are to take special care of the orphaned, and here are hundreds of children in our midst who do not know what it means to have a family; many will age out of the foster care system and will never know.  Surely the 14,000 churches in our state can make a difference in that number!
