<br />
It was in June, 2008 when I felt the call of God to start a ministry for
adoption, foster care & Safe Families (AFS) at Willow Creek. My
area pastor put out an email inviting interested people to come to a
meeting at my house. I didn’t know what to expect, but 10 very fired-up
people showed up and we began brainstorming about how we could support
the adoption, foster care, and Safe Families communities. Next month it
will be 10 years since that first meeting, and what an adventure it has
been!<br />
<br />
Last fall I sensed that God was leading this ministry into a new era,
and early this year I made the decision to step down from the ministry
at the end of May. At the same time, God had been speaking to the
hearts of some of the others on our leadership team, and several of them
believed that God was prompting them to step aside as well. We all
believe that God is on the move and is planning to take this ministry to
the next level! We have spent the last few months as a team, planning
and transitioning new leaders to carry on this much needed ministry.
Your prayers are appreciated as we are still looking for someone that
can lead the foster care team, and others to join the adoption and Safe
Families teams. If you are interested in learning more, please contact
Abby Deatherage at <a href="mailto:afs@willowcreek.org" rel="nofollow" style="color: #2baadf; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">afs@willowcreek.org. </a><br />
<br />
It has been a joy to walk together with so many of you on your adoption,
foster care, and/or Safe Families journeys and to build this ministry
at Willow Creek. It has also been an honor to have been able to lead
the most amazing leadership team I’ve ever been a part of. Their
commitment to serving children, families, and to this ministry has truly
been a gift from God. I have also had the privilege of partnering with
so many of you from organizations that serve the adoption, foster care
and Safe Families communities. I have learned so much from you and am
continually inspired by the passionate work that you do.<br />
<br />
I may have the opportunity to contribute to this blog from time to time, but for the most part, it will be updated by folks from the Adoption, Foster Care and Safe Families teams. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you for trusting me and this ministry for the past decade. I’m
excited to see what God will do next! I wish you all of God’s blessings
as you continue your journey.<br />

Sarah McHugh has been a part of the Adoption, Foster Care & Safe
Families Ministry at Willow Creek for about 3 years and has been a
driving force in a leadership role, supporting children and families in
our ministry.<br />
<br />
We are thrilled for Sarah and her husband Zach, that they have been
chosen to adopt twin babies that are due to be born in July! While this
is reason to get excited, their budget didn't anticipate the extra cost
of adopting twins from out of state.

<h3>
Asking for money <i>for any reason </i>is hard. Asking for money <i>to fund an adoption </i>is no easier. But is it wrong?</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
Here are 3 questions to consider–<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>1. Why are you asking for financial support?</b></h3>
Adoption is expensive, but expense–alone–isn’t always enough of a reason to ask other people for help.<br />
Many adopting families ask for help because the amount of money
required in a short timeline far exceeds their ability to pay. For
example, according to <i>Adoptive Families Magazine</i>, the average
fees for a domestic adoption in the United States are $39,966. Many
adoption agencies require a bulk of that money up front to handle
application, homestudy, and agency fees, etc. While coming up with
$39,966 over several years may be possible, coming up with it in a
matter of months may be another story altogether. If God has clearly led
your family to adopt, He may clearly lead you to humble yourself and
ask for help.<br />
<b>Note to adopting families:</b> If God has called you to
adopt and you are asking friends and family to contribute financially,
take the time to explain why the financial help is vital. Be willing to
share God’s heart for the fatherless and your specific call to adopt. If
it applies to you, be clear that adoption is overwhelmingly expensive,
and most candidates for adopting don’t have access to the required fees
in the required timeline.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>2. How are you asking for financial support?</b></h3>
The <i>how </i>in this case is as important as the <i>why</i>.<br />
Just as God has prompted you to adopt, so, too, He will prompt the
right people to support your adoption. In many ways, this is a fantastic
way for friends and family to participate in caring for fatherless
children whether or not God has called them to adopt. But still, we must
ask correctly. Make the need known, but be careful not to over-request.
Host as few fundraisers as possible with the lowest possible overhead
cost so that every dollar goes as far as possible. If someone gives
generously to your adoption, take that person off of future fundraising
requests. He or she now knows you are adopting and will give again if
God directs.<br />
<b>Note to adopting families:</b> Begin by making the need
known to your closest friends and family. Writing a personal letter has
proven to be very effective in this regard. Be sure to celebrate every
gift–no matter the size–through prayers of praise and notes of
gratitude. Also, very often, your inner circle will be happy to give
generously without the need to buy t-shirts or jewelry.<br />
Do you want to help your friends’ and families’ gifts go further? Consider applying for a <a href="https://www.lifesongfororphans.org/adoption-funding/adoption-grant-loan-application/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">matching grant</a> or <a href="https://www.lifesongfororphans.org/adoption-funding/adoption-grants/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">fundraising support</a> through Lifesong. We even have a free <a href="https://mystory.lifesongfororphans.org/stories/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">crowdfunding</a> tool for our approved families to use!<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>3. What are <i>you</i> contributing financially to your adoption?</b></h3>
Be certain when asking others to contribute to your adoption that <i>you </i>are
contributing all you can. While your life should not end while you wait
to adopt your child, enjoying expensive dinners out or posting photos
of extraordinary vacations while asking people to help with your
adoption may send the wrong message. If God has called you to adopt, He
may be calling you to sacrifice immediate luxuries … and that’s OK. You
won’t regret sacrificial obedience to God.<br />
<b>Bottom line:</b> Asking friends and family to help isn’t
wrong if it’s done in the right way for the right reasons. And most
importantly?–Where God leads, God provides.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<b>And God is able to make all grace abound to
you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have
an abundance for every good deed.<br />
</b>–2 Corinthians 9:8</blockquote>

<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When life is a struggle, Believers
want and NEED church. We desire fellowship with others, corporate
worship, and being led through Scripture for a nugget of God’s peace
that passes all understanding. Unfortunately for many foster and
adoptive parents, the idea of going to church may also bring up feelings
of anxiety.</span><br />
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Should I try to have my child attend Sunday School or will the separation be too much for them?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Will people think that my kids are “out of control” because they struggle to self-regulate?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is it worth trying to actually </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">get</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> my kids to church?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Will I be called out of service repeatedly if my child experiences a meltdown?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Should I
take my child even though he might be so overstimulated that it will
take the whole rest of the day to help him regulate?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Read more about foster/adoptive families’ experiences, <a href="http://confessionsofanadoptiveparent.com/when-church-becomes-a-negative-experience-for-adoptive-families/">here's a great place to start</a>.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">At <a href="http://project127.com/" target="_blank">Project 1.27</a>, part of our mission
is to help equip churches to support foster and adoptive families. As
you think about your church, or the church your foster/adoptive family
attends, consider the church culture and how it responds to children
from hard places and the parents who care for them. Does the church
leadership prioritize foster and adoptive ministries? Do the children’s
programs seek to accommodate a child from hard places through extra
training and understanding? Are there opportunities to engage the church
congregation to think more about serving kids in foster care or those
who have been adopted?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">How can I help my church become more foster and adoptive friendly?</span><br />
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Investigate your church culture through asking foster/adoptive families about their experience in church.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Explore additional resources or ministries your church could offer to support foster/adoptive families.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Schedule a
time to talk with someone in leadership at your church about what you
have learned and the need that exists at your church.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Contact Project 1.27’s new Family Care Team Manager, Marilyn Robinson (</span><a href="mailto:mrobinson@project127.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">mrobinson@project127.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">), if your church leadership is interested in developing more strategic ways to support foster and adoptive families. </span></li>

adoptees, for adoptees, as a reaction to the lack of Chinese adoptee

adoptee "culture" focused on the young adult adoptee experience, having a
responsibly irresponsible
amount of fun, living loud and doing good. For more information visit <a href="http://www.adopteen.org/">www.adopteen.org</a>. </div>

<br />
A friend of mine recently told me about his daughter’s 5th birthday.
Leading up to the birthday party, the one thing she kept asking for was a
pinata. Being good parents who wanted to give good gifts to their
daughter, they went out and found the perfect teddy bear pinata.<br />
<br />
On the big day when the teddy bear was revealed, she was thrilled.
They lined up all the kids, and armed with a blindfold and a stick,
they began the normal pinata routine. Each child came forward and took a
swing, and everyone was having a great time.<br />
<br />
And then it happened.<br />
