Thanks for stopping by! Not a whole bunch to update but I do have some! First little AJ should be landing in OHIO within the next 30 minutes. AJ is a quad amputee from Burkina who is coming here for prosthetics from Burkina. I promise to post a picture tomorrow as soon as I can get one downloaded. Shriners will be treating him and he will be here approx 2 months until he goes back to his parents. I know this has been hard on his MOM, can you imagine??!! So pls keep her in your prayers during his absence!
Well, the American side of adoptions in Burkina are up and running. Kids to Adopt in WA state will be handling all the adoptions. Since Burkina is Hague we needed a Hague agency. We have been working day and nite the last couple of weeks to get all the details and requirements worked out. So if you are interested in adopting a child from our orphanage in Burkina and would like more info, you can contact them at: info@kidstoadopt.org. Since Burkina is Hague we will not be photolisting the kids BUT we will be posting groups pictures and random pictures of the kids in the orphanage here and on our website. I can't wait to see all those cutie pie faces and I can't wait to go to Africa and kiss each one of their cheeks!
As for the orphanage. Biba, our person in Burkina, has been busy helping a family in Burkina concerning some other matters (nothing to do with us) so her time has been consumed with that for the last 2 weeks. We are now officially moving forward. We only have a couple more details to attend to and we will be up and running. It is hard to be patient from our end, but we know (and keep reminding ourselves) in God's timing not ours!
If you are feeling "led" to Africa, if God is tugging at your heart to do more: we would LOVE for you to join our team. We are just a bunch of moms trying to make a difference in our world, I bet you are "just a mom" too! You may think, wow, I can't do that, or what do I have to offer, but I bet we could find something! We have so much to do and with more hands, voices, feet, we can get so much more done. So if you are interested in helping in any way, even to pray, please email me at: ann@untilallhaveshomes.org and I will get with you ASAP!
Our motto at FOG is in Proverbs,"Where there is no vision, the people will perish." Be a part of the vision, let no one perish!!
Until next time,
Ann Grabeman
