Adoption 101 Tea

Do you have a heart for the fatherless? Have you ever considered adopting? I am hosting an adoption 101 tea. If you have questions or just want to fellowship with some ladies that have a heart for adoption please come. Come hear from someone who has experience with adoption ministry and has 5 children- 2 bio, 3 adopted. Justine Gamble will be sharing shortly about her adoption of 2 from Ethiopia and 1 from China. The majority of the time will be spent answering your questions.  Light snacks will be served. If you have any questions please contact me at : tracyleev@yahoo.com




Here is Justine's bio:

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY NILE!

My precious boy just celebrated his first birthday!

We had a blast celebrating!

Attention local families....

We are starting an Ethiopian fellowship called CAFE North for families north of Nashville. We have our first family social this Saturday. Email me if you are interested. tracyleev@yahoo.com or look us up on facebook.

Remembering....

As happy as I am that I get to celebrate my baby's first birthday, I cannot help but think about Nile's birth mother. It's hard to imagine but there is someone on the other side of the world that is remembering the child that she gave birth to. I cannot know who or where she is today but I wish she knew how much he is loved. She has no clue that he is alive much less so loved. I am sad for her and cannot imagine not knowing. I cannot imagine what her circumstances were and I pray that she has the peace of Jesus to get her through this life. As Americans we cannot fathom the weight of everyday life that she lives. I am thankful for the life she has given us. I can't imagine life without my precious boy. Please pray for her to have a peace as she remembers the baby that she gave birth to around this time a year ago.

Look at these teeth!

Lookin' cool in the mini!
