Anna's Forever Families




Several weeks ago I googled to find if there were any families who had adopted from Tim's birth city, Dalian, China. I came across one blog I had not read, and it was http://annasforeverfamily.blogspot.com/ Her name is Anna.
I was amazed that Anna's mom, Jo, had just made her first entry post on the blog that day as it was new. I was saddened as I read about the story of Anna, who was from the same SWI as Tim. I had not known about her, but she had came home to her forever family several months after Tim came home to us.
I had written to Jo after I read her story and told her I wanted to help her get the word out about Anna's Forever Families. Please go to the site above and read about this new adoption assistance fund she and her family are just now starting this month. If you know of anyone wanting to apply to this fund, they are accepting applications.
Please consider donating to Anna's Forever Families. Jo and her husband are now planting "seeds" of Annas memories into families, one by one, so that other children can "grow" in the love of a forever family. Romans 8:28 comes to mind. And we know that all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them that are called according to His purpose. Through Annas Forever Families, Anna's parents are taking their own grief and loss, and shaping it into blessings and joy for other families.
