I watched this video when we were first feeling the call to adopt in December of 2011. I'm watching it again today because it has so many good points. I wish every Christian family could watch it - and ACT. We are not all called to adopt or foster but we are all called to care for orphans in some way.

HOW TO CARE FOR ORPHANS:
Open your heart to God’s heart for the orphan
Recognize your responsibility to find permanent families
Prevent children from being orphaned
Help orphans in ways that move them out of orphanhood
Affirm loving, legal and lasting families by preservation, reunification, or adoption
Never forget the local church is key
