November is National Adoption Month – I don't actually know the legacy of how this came to be - but as a national movement, it raises adoption to a new level of awareness.

Like most awesome things in life, it is best when each person puts their own individual thought, reflection, effort, and pizzaz into supporting what they personally deeply believed in.

What will you be doing to raise adoption awareness this month? Here are a few things we are doing:
First, to celebrate this month, the $300 application fee for Gladney's China and Taiwan program will be waived. Contact us at superkids@gladney.org for more information about getting started!

Second, I want to wish our Superkids team traveling to Taiwan on Friday a safe and successful trip to visit with children at Cathwel and Chung Yi. You can follow their journey right here on the blog!

And, third, we are giving grants of $2,000 each to several special children this month! Howie, Harris, Hector,  and Hosea all have grants! With the waived application fee this is a perfect time to contact us about one of these little boys. Click on their names to read more about them.

Personally, I'll be talking more about adoption this month, sharing about amazing people -- be they parents, children, siblings, or friends.

Life is part memories, part today, and part how we all choose to 'pay it forward'.  When you add adoption to a life journey, the sum of the parts become humbling.
