National Adoption Month - ways to help!

So many folks are interested in helping orphans, yet adoption is not an option for them, due to all sorts of reasons... but there are so many different ways to help! I only promote organizations here that I have either met the people personally or "know" of them through my dealings with translators in Ukraine.
My favorite US organization would have to be the Dave Thomas Adoption Foundation. Dave Thomas was the founder of Wendy's and adopted as a child as well. You can also give change at the drop boxes every time you go to Wendy's, which I always have my kids do - it is always an easy lunchtime topic of discussion while we are there!
I have a few favorite Orphan Support organizations that I know the people running them and have helped with their causes...
An Orphan's Bright Star (OBS) is a great group that was founded by other families who adopted through our CH UA family. It does some really wonderful projects!
An Orphan Smiles is a fairly new group - yet I have known most of the board members from other groups as well as through my friends in Ukraine.
Ukraine Orphan Outreach is a group from Northern Colorado that was founded by friends Kris and Heidi... Heidi is currently in Ukraine adopting 3 older children! This is an amazing group that brings over a group of older children each summer for a cultural exchange camp! Check out their site - the pictures are really encouraging!

You can also check out sites such as Reece's Rainbow. RR is a Down Syndrome Ministry that helps orphans with not only Ds, but other life challenging conditions!

A little giving can go along way!
