Our song for the Orphans

The song I have chosen for our blog is by Steven Curtis Chapman, and it was written after he adopted his first child from China. The process of adopting has opened our eyes to the plight of the orphan throughout our home town of Orange County and the world. Did you know:

• There are over 143 million kids in this world with no parents to take care of them? No one to tuck them in at night, sooth a wounded heart or hurt or cheer them on in a victory?
• Every 18 seconds, a child in Africia loses a parent to AIDS?
• In Orange County, there are over 3000 kids available for adoption?
• That over 30% of families have considered adoption, yet less than 2% actually follow through?

These are just some of the facts about adoption - to learn more, visit Voice of the Orphans . You can learn how you can help the orphan - and see the heart of God.
