Rutledge6: Families for Orphans Act

Rutledge6: Families for Orphans Act

I am in need of your help. Above is a link to a post in a blog about the "Families For Orphans Act". In it you will find the Joint Council on International Children's Services, is trying to pass a bill to create a state department office that is focused on global orphan care. There is a list of 4 things you can do to help pass this bill, one of which is signing the petition. Did you know the many thousands of children who are orphaned in Haiti, due to the earthquake, have their lives hanging in the balance of politics and governments? UNICEF an organization apart of the UN has stepped in and made offers to the government of Haiti to not allow international adoptions to take place for these children who will grow up without knowing the love of a family. They are spreading lies and false accusations that international adoption leads to child trafficking and slavery, instead of allowing loving Christian families do the work God has called His people to do, love and care for the orphans. (This is the same organization who is causing world wide issues with adoptions, and is a playing a big factor in the hold on adoptions in Liberia as well as many other countries.) With this passing of this bill it will allow the orphaned children to have a voice and someone fighting for them! Please read the letter on this link and be a voice for these children!
