November is National Adoption month!

National Adoption Month, 2007 A Proclamation By the President of the United States of America

White House News

During National Adoption Month, we recognize the adoptive and foster families who have shared their homes and hearts with children in need, and we encourage more Americans to consider adopting young people of all ages.

Families who adopt show the generous spirit of our Nation. Every child desires a permanent home, and when parents adopt a child to love as their own, lives are forever changed. For parents, the decision to adopt a child is among life's greatest and happiest turning points. On November 17, families across the country will celebrate National Adoption Day by finalizing their adoptions, and each one of these homes will be richer for the addition of new family members.

My Administration is committed to promoting adoption of children of all ages. We are working to bring together more children with loving, adoptive parents through the Collaboration to AdoptUsKids at adoptuskids.org and by providing States with financial assistance through the Adoption Incentives Program. The Promoting Safe and Stable Families Program helps improve care and services to children and families and ensure more young people in America have a caring, secure, and permanent home. Together, these efforts are building a brighter future for our youth.

During National Adoption Month, we honor adoptive and foster parents as they raise children of conviction and character. By accepting the gift of these children, parents are helping shape lives and contributing to the strength of our great Nation.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2007 as National Adoption Month. I call upon all Americans to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities to honor adoptive families and to participate in efforts to find permanent homes for waiting children.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-second.

GEORGE W. BUSH

My Boy

I love this picture! Ellie is just a sweetie, and my boy Isaiah was so patient while I loved on other children!

Horrible picture of me, but this is a true display of Isaiah! He is such a lover! All week long, I was continuously loved on. Thanks baby!
I love his chubby little hands! They were so warm, and soft. I cannot wait to have his hand in mine again.
Friends! How sweet!

Haiti

Please pray with us that our son Isaiah will soon be home with us in America, pray that he will come home in record time, please pray that the paperwork will be able to be continued here in the US, pray that the last $2100, and $400 monthly for 6 more months will be supplied. Thanks to everyone who reads this blog.....

We are very excited that our most talented friend Todd Burnett is doing this for us!!! Much thanks Todd!!! I will update as soon as tomorrow is finished.

Finger Prints

The beauty of finger prints!!! Tim and I drove to Louisville today for our appointment!!!! We took both the babies, I was a little nervous at first, because I am thinking how are we going to get ink on our fingers, and manage not to get it on the babies.... Well, to my surprise, it was all digital. Tim says and I quote "I could have told you they wouldn't use ink" I really should communicate my worries more, he could have calmed me days ago:0) Anyhow I do have a praise, and that is our friends Jason and Amy went to Indy for their fingerprints, without an appointment, and got right in!!!! I am so happy about this. They are right where we are in the process. I will try to post more later, like as soon as we get our approval!
Love, Sarah
