November is National Adoption Month; a great time not only to give thanks for family, but consider opening your home to someone who has no family. Nationwide, there are over 114,000 children in foster care - waiting for a permanent home.

"You could be the refuge of a temporary home, or become their new family through becoming an adoptive parent. Adoption can also be a wonderful answer to infertility or an unwanted pregnancy."

So many children are waiting for permanent, stable homes. Adoption may not be for everyone, but even offering your house as a temporary home would be a tremendous blessing to many of these kids.
