Today is the last day of National Adoption Month. Don't worry, you'll still get plenty of adoption-related news from me and this blog, but I wanted to take a minute and thank everyone who was involved this month. From sending a smiley face on #worldadoptionday to sharing and donating to our adoption fund. Our journey's not over, but it's been really great to see such concentrated support this month and I can't tell you how much we appreciate it.
For many of you, adoption is not on your radar like it's on mine, but on this last day of awareness, I do want to let you know that even if you're not in the place to adopt, there are plenty of ways you can be involved in someone else's adoption story.
Here are just a few ways you can help:
1. Reach out to your local pregnancy center and volunteer. The need for volunteers is strong everywhere, and having people handy to answer the phones, donate supplies, and the hundreds of other things needed for these centers to thrive is a real need.
2. Volunteer at a children's home. Our Sunday School has spent time at the local boy's home here, and giving kids an opportunity to play, get some adult contact and positive mentoring not only is good for them, it's great for you!
3. Use your social media! Posting or sharing your volunteer group of choice helps spread the word. The average Facebook user spends at least 20 minutes per day looking at status updates. Who knows how many eyes can hit your status update on giving back!?!?
Not sure where to start? Volunteer Match has a great search engine!
Thank you for participating in Adoption Awareness Month and thank you for continuing to pray, share and invest in our adoption journey! www.youcaring.com/carradoptionfund
