AUGUST 24 UPDATE

First, I want to say thank you to everyone. The darling little boy below PLUS the OI baby and the LD baby girl all have families pending! Todays cutie is a little boy with diabetes. His mom could not afford the med's and had to put him in the orphanage. He is a DOLL!! We also are advocating for a older child who has been waiting way too long! A couple of our families have met her and we have updated her info to include their thoughts on this little girl, Please follow this link to read more. http://www.untilallhavehomes.org/childofmonth.html. She is also one of our Miracle Grant Children. From now until the end of the month any donation made towards her adoption will be matched by a generous donor! So if you donate $10.00, that donations bumps up to $20.00. Please help us get the word out!

We have lots of babies and new children. Please take a peek at our website: www.untilallhavehomes.org. If you are filling out an application to view the children, please make sure all info is correct and complete. If not the application will be rejected. Our incredible volunteers are turning these around in several days. So if you don't hear anything in a week, please let us know or redo the form and make sure all info is correct.

We have revamped our How You Can Help Page on our website. We will be adding several products that are perfect for the coming holidays! Also, Tracy Hansen, a super talented, renowned jewelry artist is designing several pieces of jewelry for us to help raise funds. Here is a link to her site: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5208670

She makes lots of adoption related jewelry and can also do customs pcs. And if that is not enough, she supports several great causes and is an incredible person!

We are winding down our African school sponsorship program. We have 48 children sponsored. We HAD 10 left until our African director sent me 5 more urgent children. There stories would break your heart! It costs $200 a year to sponsor a child and it can be made in payments. This is a UAHH project and 100% $$ goes to the kids.. Please email ann@untilallhavehomes.org with any questions. Here is the link to view the children who still need sponsors and to read more about our program: http://www.untilallhavehomes.org/FOG/sponsorship.html

This month has been a very blessed month for us! I have rec'd numerous we are home pictures and notes and I can't tell you what it means for me for the kids to find homes. And I so appreciate all the letters! It still makes me cry and I love what God does thru UAHH! I have incredible volunteers who are wonderful, several are very close friends, all are a huge part of UAHH. They work behind the scenes and I don't know that I would do without them. THANK YOU! And to FAMI, who puts up with all my WHIMS concerning the website, I owe you! I am sure God has several crowns for enduring circumstances waiting for you :)

As we come to a close for this update, I want to also post a picture of our daughter, Victoria. I am not big about posting my kids stuff on here (she is pretty cute tho). Victoria is the whole reason we started UAHH. When God placed her in our heart and we set out on that journey to bring her to our family, we and she had no idea how many lives would be changed. How many lives would be changed if you took a step of faith and adopted one of these children? There are so many that need homes! While Vika has no idea what she has done, there is not a week that goes by that I don't look at her face and see the hand and face of GOD. It still makes me cry! PLEASE HELP THESE CHILDREN IN SOME WAY! God wants to bless your life too!

Until All Have Homes,

Ann

AUGUST 11 UPDATE, WHERE DO I BEGIN :)

Ok, wow, summer has FLOWN by and I am running way behind on updates! Ok, today's sweetie pie and yes he is a BOY, needs a home ASAP. He is so darling. He has some differences in his fingers/hands. But we are being told he is the SWEETEST!!! So if you are interested please contact Stephanie@untilallhavehomes.org. Also the 2 DARLING little girls, well the 3 girls in posts below (2 are limb difference and 1 is an OI (Brittle bone) baby) are still available. Again, please contact Stephanie for more info. I have a family who has OI kids who would be happy to talk to anyone interested in the little princess. She also has a $7500 grant towards her adoption. She is one of the "main" cities so it would be easy travel as you would not have to travel to a "region" to get her. Also we are looking for people who will help pay for her "private nanny". Another nonprofit in country has been supplying a nanny to work with her as her current orphanage was scared to touch her. It costs $25.00 a day for 8 hours. You could team up with a friend and maybe to every Monday etc. That would be approx $100 for you and your friend to help this child!

Well, that was the tip of the ICEBURG, because if you have not been on our site, there are so many new and cute kids you will scream! We have a darling little boy we just added who has diabetes. Evidently the government stopped giving the mom medicines and she had no choice! We also listed some DARLING babies from Haiti too. So please take a peek and feel free to post about any of the kids (without lifting their pictures) to appropriate groups or to friends!

On our African projects, we have 15 kids we still need sponsors for. We have 41 sponsors so far! Please help us. It costs $200 a year and it can be divided up into payments! You can read more about that here: http://www.untilallhavehomes.org/FOG/sponsorship.html We also have some African tees left. These are a great to raise awareness of what happens to so many people in Africa. They are not country specific, just Africa in general. They are a GREAT conversation piece and a way to get the word out that these people NEED OUR HELP! http://www.untilallhavehomes.org/Africa_Tees.html

We are starting a new area in our ministry with the help of a "friend". We are hoping to raise money to put grants on several of our children who have been waiting on our site too long or who are harder to place because of their diagnosis. If you would like to be a part of this team, please email me at: ann@untilallhavehomes.org

Thanks for stopping by and we would love to hear from you!

Until All Have Homes,

Ann
