Furthering the Cause of China Adoption

It makes no sense, and it makes perfect sense.  Two years ago, God directed Dave and me to a little church plant in Helena, Alabama, and we unknowingly landed in the hotbed of China adoption.  Our adoption paperwork had already been logged in to China for two years at the time, but we weren't necessarily looking for adoption-minded people to hang with.  But, somehow it happened.  The pastor of our church and his wife had adopted twin girls from China several years before, and loads of other people in the church had adopted from China, as well as domestically.

Since then, we have changed our adoption track from healthy to special needs and it's all thanks to this woman, the pastor's wife.  I am proud to call Jennifer Chambers my friend and mentor.  I had the privilege of being a part of this news piece that helps further her cause... uniting orphans in China with families here in Birmingham, and the rest of the U.S.    


If you'd like to give to Dr. Chamber's project (and therefore MY project), make your checks payable to the UAB International Adoption Clinic and mail to :

  1. God makes life so interesting! This makes me think of the odd way we meet...through a mutual friend at Jiffy Lube...and our first phone conversation when we didn't know each other at all. So fun!
