As I sit here almost ready to leave for the airport, I'd like to say a prayer for the many children here in the PI waiting to be adopted. I would also like to make a plea to all of you reading this blog to donate some of your used maternity clothes and children's items, etc. to Camille's orphanage and to the birthing home where she was born. The two entities are wonderfully run by American Christian missionaries Deborah and Darren Gustafson, along with Deborah's sister and mother. Deborah's parents founded the birthing home almost twenty years ago, and the orphanage was a natural off shoot of the birthing home. They deliver anywhere from 30 to 70 babies a month to mothers who cannot afford to go to a hospital.
Many of you reading this can look around your house and find drawers full of extra clothes and bins full of toys and books that haven't been touched for months. If that's the case, the Little Children's Home could definitely use your help. Also, our house has enough toys to fill a pre-school. So rather than giving us toys on special occasions, why not wrap something for the orphanage or birthing home? We intend on shipping stuff to them a couple times a year, so if you give us your donations, we'll ship it for you. And, of course, they gladly accept money donations as well.
Here is the Gustafson's blog: http://gustafson-family.blogspot.com/. Check it out and God Bless you all. Please pray for our safe flight back to the States.
