National Adoption Month

November is National Adoption Month. 
Most likely the majority of us are not in the process of adopting a child. 
Some of us know someone who has adopted recently or will be adopting soon.
Regardless of which group we belong to, we all have a minute or more each day to utter a prayer. Throughout this month, why not take some time to pray for the following:

  • Youth that are waiting to be adopted
  • Families that are in the process of adopting or those who have recently adopted 
  • That more families and individuals would prayerfully consider adoption


I actually know someone who will be leaving soon with her family to go to China! They are pretty excited to be at the end of the adoption process, but they are at the beginning of this adoption adventure. Here are some of the things I will be praying for them:


  • Pray for the family's safety
  • Pray that the adoption would be finalized without delay
  • Pray that God would knit the hearts of all of the family members together
  • Pray that God will help the adopted child to transition well into her new family and culture


"God sets the solitary in families.." Psalm 68:6
