They are Chosen

What a gorgeous group of kiddos.  They represent five adoptive (or pre-adoptive) families from our church.  This get-together was one of the awesome bi-products of our Orphan Sunday.  Our new group, Chosen, is an adoptive/pre-adoptive/foster family support group.  I love that ALL of us, adopted and homegrown, are chosen by our heavenly Father.  Each of us unique and special.  The name of our group couldn't be more fitting.  Yesterday was our first event and judging by the smiling faces below, I'd say it was a success.  The kids had so. much. fun.  Sunshine is sporting her poker face look, but I promise she enjoyed herself immensely after she warmed up to the new faces.  Parents thoroughly enjoyed themselves too with plenty of chatting while the littles were occupied.

There was a lot of playing and chatting, but the girls also spent some time working on creating artwork that will be sent to Chinese orphans at New Day Foster Home.  Just about any reason to do arts & crafts is pretty good in my book.  But sitting down with glitter glue and markers to hopefully bring smiles to the faces of orphans is pretty much awesome.  We are looking forward to the next several events that have already been planned!
