I am black & multira...Is there a list for this? I am black & multiracial. I'd LOVE to adopt a bunch of babies, black or whatever color, ut at least a few black children. I am in the process of trying to become foster parents but also are considering domestic/international, we'd like toddlers too, or even sibling kids up to age 5 or 6. Whatever the Lord calls us to. We have 4 children are open to His leading. I used to be in fostercare and am a product of drug addicts a prostitute, abuse and all kinds of ungodliness. The Lord has ransomed me from a life of hopelessness and death. He has used my life in remarkable ways. My blog is Ransomed, redeemed because Christ ransomed & redeemed me. My life and my childrens lives, and the children we'll adopt have a special calling. I didn't know there were babies that don't get adopted. Most adoptive folks will fight to get newborns!~ Please let me know if there are children needing homes, we have 7 year old twins, a 4 year old, and a 2 year old. We are trying to adopt but the Lord keeps closing the door it seems. Perhaps because He has our children for us and is waiting for the right timing. We are in California. I keep praying the Lord will give us the babies children that people throw away or don't want, ones that would otherwise die unless we got them. Please pray for us. We want a HUGE family, we want many children and have a HUGE heart for adoption. BTW congrats on the twins, once you have twins, you will ALWAYS pray for another set. Ask any mama with twins that loves motherhood and children. It is so special.

Please bless her with the ability to nuture and protect her flesh and blood, as you have given her this child for a reason. Please surround her with loving family and friends who will help her as this child grows into adulthood. Thank you for showing us, through the love and devotion bestowed by the Virgin Mother towards her precious baby, that mothers everywhere can be supported in raising and loving their children. <BR/><BR/>Amenmaybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067284504038707207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870990.post-62476000403578370922008-09-18T06:49:00.000-05:002008-09-18T06:49:00.000-05:00My sister-in-law is mentally unstable (hears voice...My sister-in-law is mentally unstable (hears voices since 2000) and just had twin girls (Sept 16).

Let's stop and pray for this young woman...we know the devil has a plan for her life...but so does God. Perhaps it isn't too late for prayer for her-of course its never too late for prayer.<BR/><BR/> God bless you and may He amplify your voice on adoption. <BR/><BR/>I was very blessed to read the Pastor's comment. His church is blessed, I am sure the hand of God will move greatly among them. We have not found that kind of support in our church, which also makes my heart heavy.<BR/><BR/> God direct your path, may your life magnify Him.<BR/><BR/>Kimmie<BR/>mama to 6<BR/>one homemade and 5 adopted<BR/>*waiting to bring home our Ethiopian children...who may be considered by many as 'too black.'

We've looked at so many adoption agencies and after 13 years of marriage we gave up. We watched so many of our friends lose so much money and one even lost his farm having taken out loans and then having the mom back out last minute after him paying for so much... <BR/><BR/>I pray you guys get the desires of your heart.

(this is one I know of: http://agfamilyservices.org/content/view/19/55/) Where are we dropping the ball? I talk to people all the time and tell them there is no such thing as "unwanted pregnancy" just a pregnancy that happens to someone else... I have counselled a number of infertile couples who are waiting to adopt... I will support anyone who is working to bring these Christian couples together with mothers who choose life.

We have struggled with finances from the beginning of our marriage and yet my heart still knows we're not done raising children.

We're still working to put ourselves in position where we can take these kids in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
