SEPT 27 UPDATE

Well, guess who is waiting again??! Please everyone help us get the word out!! He was going to be transferred to a horrible orphanage and a family stepped forward. But unfort. they picked another child while in country. So we AGAIN need to hurry and find a family. I know there were so many people who responded to the last request. Please contact Stephanie@untilallhavehomes.org for more info.

We have updated our China page!! We have been between volunteers as both of ours have traveled recently to adopt from China. I think we are finally back in the swing of things. Lots of darling children and several with grants!!

The Haiti babies are up on the page, if you want to take a peek!!

Fami is back up and running. She is updating daily everyone sending in requests to access our password protected page. Please let us know if you sent a request and did not get a response. You can read more about her "journey" on the CaringBridge link on our home page!

The darling girl from Africa below hopefully has a family!! The little blond boy from Russia does not! We also have a blind boy from Africa too that needs a home. You can read more about him on our website! :)

Lots, and lots of new EE kids. You just have to take a peek!! I think everyone and thing is getting back to normal now that the kids are settling into school and a routine. We will be closing out our sponsorship program this week. 48 children were sponsored and our African coordinator and myself are humbled at every one's generosity. Please be patient with us as we get all the paperwork to send to you. All the children have to be registered and paid at their schools, and they do not all go to the same school. Plus Biba does not have a car, so she has to walk or ride her bike everywhere to do this. Once we get that done we will be buying the rice and bikes. You should rec a pic of your child with these items. But it could take a month or so to get the info and pictures done!! Remember we are a small team but that makes it more personable!! :)

One last thing. November is National Adoption Month. Now is the time to contact your churches to see if they will do something to get the word out. If you need ideas pleases let me know. It can be something as simple as an announcement or something as elaborate as a video!! Just do something!! :)

Thanks for checking in!!! Until next time..................

Until All Have Homes,

SEPTEMBER 10 UPDATE

We have so many kids to add. Fami my friend and our web designer has had a family emergency so it will be a couple of days before the website can be updated. During that time I will be adding some info here. Please keep Fami and her family in your prayers!!!

Today's little boy is from EE. This is an older picture, so I bet by now he is even cuter!! He is 2yo. Here is a little of his blurp: "This is a darling little blonde baby boy. We believe he has a form of sacral agenesis/caudal regression. His L3 is formed but defective and he is missing L4 and L5. He has a deformed pelvis, his femurs are dislocated and he has clubfeet. Despite all this he is a happy baby boy. THERE IS A GENEROUS GRANT TO COVER HIS INTERNATIONAL FEE. If you are interested, please contact Stephanie@untilallhavehomes.org.

Also from EE is a little boy who is 7months old with multiple limb difference. Here is a little of his blurp: "He was given up for adoption due to being born with multiple limb differences affecting both legs and the right arm. His report says that he has aplasya of the right hand and forearm, possible deformity of the left elbow but the hand is normal, aplasia of the right shin and aplasia of the left calf-bone. Then is says Hemimelia of the right upper extremity and of both lower extremities." This region is not allowing pictures at this time, the agency is working on getting some but until then they can get questions answered from the orphanage. DUE TO A GENEROUS DONOR THIS CHILD HAS A FAMILY QUALIFYING GRANT OF UP TO $5000. Please contact Stephanie for more info.

Also still available is the little girl below from Africa. We also have a darling blind boy from Asia (not China) who we need to find a home for fast. There is also a boy with CP from the same country who has a FULL GRANT that a person has offered to escort to the US for the adopting family. You can contact me regarding those 2 children.

Thanks for checking in and please check here until we can get the website updated! We still have children that need scholarships for school in Africa. You can see their info from our home page. I also wanted to let everyone know, the darling blonde boy and the little "cataract" girls (both listed below) families are traveling within weeks. Thanks for all your prayers!!!

Until All Have Homes,

September 5 Update

Can you even believe that "summer" is over??!! I can't! Todays princess is a beautiful 9yo from Africa. She does not have any SN, she just needs a family to love her. Her fees are way below $5,000. She should be added to our site this week, but we are having some computer issues so I thought I would post her here. You can contact Polly or me for more info. (polly@untilallhavehomes.org or ann@untilallhavehomes.org)

We are in our last couple of weeks of school sponsorship!! If you haven't already, please pray about sponsoring a child. It is only $125 a year which is a little over $2.00 a week, that isn't even a latte!!!! You can access that page with the kids pictures from our home page. WE have about 18 kids, we just rec'd 3 more we havent even added, they come from very poor families. Please help us change these childrens lives and be a part of God's light in Africa!!!

Ok, well, we are still WAITING on updates from our agencies!! :) Wish I had more control on that!! We are also looking for a volunteer in the Asia 2 section. You would have had to adopt from a country in Asia (not China) and understand basic adoption issues. Please email me if you are interested.

Well, I hope to be updating more then once a month :) If you are interested in helping with any fundraisers, please LMK. We are working on setting up an Ebay account too, so you can donate your proceeds from auctions if you want!! More info on that later!!

Have a wonderful week and talk to you soon!!

Until All Have Homes,
Ann
