The Dodge Family is excited to announce that they are going to adopt! :) We have created this site to keep everyone up to date on what is going on and to also ask for your help. We have added a blog to this site, so we can let you know about upcoming fundraisers, pictures and information on how successful they were, and of course updates on the adoption process. You can make donations through our Fundly.com site. We are also selling jewelry and other products which all proceeds will go toward funding the adoption. We would love to hear your thoughts and encouragement as we are on this journey. Please be praying for our little one(s). Love is waiting.
In 2008
13,194,600 new cars were sold in the US for an average of $28,350 each,but only 135,813 children were adopted in the US in all types of adoption, (including foster care adoptions, intercountry adoptions, and private baby adoptions) with the average total of adoption expenses of about $25,000 to $30,000. Even with the recent recession, the auto industry is still showing a steady increase in the number of new cars sold each year, but recent studies have shown that FEWER children are being adopted as the years pass. How sad is it that we live in a world where a new car is more important than a child in need of a family? At what point do we open our eyes and learn to set our priorities straight? There are approximately 17.9 million orphans in the world today. If everyone who was going to purchase a new car this year, adopted a child instead, imagine the impact on the world it would have. We are not asking for everyone to go out and adopt a child, but we are asking for everyone to do their part to assist others who have the will to adopt. Even the smallest action can change a life.
Love+Action=1 Life Changed
