Thank you for being a family!

To our families -

In celebrating National Adoption Month through November to today, there has been much time to remember how beautiful adoption truly is.

This Thanksgiving I am most thankful for my family, all of whom I have been excitedly anticipating seeing for weeks. As you understand, working at Children's Hope, family is not something easily taken for granted.

Just yesterday, our China Team found homes for 7 special needs children—seven children who will be challenged to learn what it means to be a part of a family. To learn what it means to not be hungry,
...to be disciplined out of love,
...to know their mother will return, day after day,
...to be secure and hopeful for the future.

These are lessons we pray for, that they will be learned well.

We are so thankful for Children's Hope parents who realized they have room at their table, within their heart and in their home for a child in need.

Blessings to you and your family,

Jennifer Newcomb
