My post from Friday initiated some really wonderful conversation
in the comments and on Facebook. One of my favorites was "We call that
having a both/and approach to kids instead of an either/or approach. There are
kids here and there and they all are in need of healing!"
With that in
mind I wanted to share some practical ideas for a "both/and" approach
to orphan care. Not everyone is called to foster or adopt but there IS
something for everyone! I hope you find something on this list for you!
