FOREVER FAMILY BASKETS
Celebrating the gift of Adoption
“And whoever welcomes a little child in my name welcomes me.” Matthew 18:5
A little about us: As Christians we believe that God demonstrated the ultimate sacrifice and love when He died on the cross for us. In turn, when we have a relationship with Him, we are adopted into His family. The gift of adoption is not one to be taken lightly. It is done with willing hearts, open arms and unconditional love, and it is a picture of what Christ has done for us. We were incredibly blessed to adopt our son in the summer of 2010 and our hearts were forever changed by this gift of adoption. However, as we planned for our son’s adoption celebration, we realized there is not a lot out there honoring adoption! That is what made us think of this ministry.
Mission:
We want to thank and celebrate with families who are adopting a child into their home.
We want to show that this amazing opportunity is acknowledged, upheld, and valued.
We want them to know that we are a partner with them in adoption and will keep their forever family in our prayers.
Information:
We will be putting together gender-and-age appropriate gift baskets for families who are adopting. We have connections with lawyers assisting with adoption cases and families are given the opportunity to request a basket from our ministry. Each basket will have gifts for the adopted child as well as some gifts for the whole family, and will be delivered to the courthouse for their adoption day. We are looking to partner with any individuals or businesses who would like to donate anything to our baskets including new, gender-and-age appropriate, toys, books, clothes, gift cards, etc. (Each basket will end up being unique due to the information we receive. We may be given the name of the child, or we may just find out the age and gender). If you or anyone you know would like to donate or would like to discuss future donation possibilities please contact us! Or, if you cannot donate but would commit to pray for this ministry, that would be much appreciated as well!
