Adoption

November is National Adoption Month!

To help in awareness and help a family who is still fighting their adoption battle I would like you all to visit this website. The R House is by a wonderful woman in West Valley. She is one of the best adoption advocates in America. She is amazing. Visit her blog here. She is still not finished with the 14 month and counting battle to keep their little boy. Her story is on her blog. The shirts may not apply to your children but the necklaces and beautiful and apply to everyone! So if you are looking for a gift to give, or something you can tell others to get you, check it out. They do custom orders too. All of the proceeds help cover the cost of their legal battle for Gavin. I am going to be asking for one from my husband for Christmas.



Another matter: read this. It's very important to so many people. The average domestic adoption is very expensive. We are going through LDS Family Services, which is less expensive, but only because the Church subsidizes the agency costs, about 15,000 per adoption. So thank you tithe payers. But others who go through different agencies and those who adopt out of foster care pay much more. Having the tax credit is beneficial and a help when adopting from foster care. So please join me in contacting our US Representatives and telling them that we need this continue!
