The Lord has stirred my heart deeply for the orphans of Africa!!! He has also placed a strong desire to do what I can now to help families wishing to adopt. So I've JUST started "Forget Us Knot" ---its a fundraiser that I want to open up to families across the country. I am making key fobs/lanyards and giving all proceeds to "sponsored" families adoption fund. If you know of a family in need please give them my contact info ForgetUsKnot@live.com. You can go to www.ForgetUsKnot.webs.com to view the website. I am still in the very early stages of getting everything set up. I would love to hear back from you and any insight from you on where I can place this energy! Looking forward to seeing where the Lord leads!

We are selling t-shirts, travel mugs and tote bags with a simple message: got love? adopt. 147 million orphans. We are taking orders for long sleeved and hoodies and running a contest for a new product that will be ready to sell and ship next week--it's a good one, so take a guess after reading the clues!!<br /><br />Love your heart and support of adoptive families!!
