Celebrating Foster/Adoptive Families in 2007:
Epiphany House is committing to a bold initiative in 2007. Our goal is to find five new families in our local region who will become adoptive families to Pennsylvania waiting children.
During the year Epiphany House will be honoring current adoptive families with a view to inspiring others to consider becoming foster/adoptive families. Throughout the region we will work with local churches and community organizations to identify and honor families in those communities who are foster/adoptive parents.
There are many problems in our world such as war, global warming, rampant poverty, genocide, diseases, and hunger, about which we often feel completely poweless to make a difference. These are problems of such overwhelming dimensions we can barely grasp them. There is, however, something we can do in which we can make a difference. We can positively impact the future for untold generations. It is by working to assure no child is left without a loving stable family.
In the Hebrew Christian traditions, there is a deep awareness that God has freely adopted us and made us his children. The covenant is one based on this adoption. We at Epiphany House believe that God has provided a family for every waiting child. Many of these families just don't know who they are yet.
How about your family? If you are the recipient of much blessing from God, then you must ask how is God inviting you to put those blessings to the service of others. Some of you have the grace and ability to be the adoptive families that are needed. Have you ever asked yourself if you might be one of those families? Perhaps you are not called to be the adoptive family but you may have the talent, abilitiy or resources to help find an adoptive family.
