one thousand cloth diapers


I want you guys to meet Leigh Ladd. She and her husband Gray are in the process of adopting two little ones from Ethiopa. I learned through another friend's blog that there is a serious shortage of diapers at the home where their babies and many others are living as they wait to be adopted. This is so heartbreaking. Please read this post... it explains the 1,000 diapers goal and also how you can help. If you sew, you can find a pattern for cloth prefolds here. I have a little girl. I know how it tears me up inside when something is wrong or hurting her and I can't help. It must be difficult for these parents who are longing for their children to be home with them. Adoption has forever impacted my life... not only because I am adopted into God's family as his child, but my husband was adopted. We hope to adopt one day. The drive to collect 1,000 cloth diapers is a simple way to help these families who are on this often long and difficult journey. More than that-- it is a way to care for little people made in God's image and full of life. Jesus said that when we welcome them we welcome him. I want so much for these little ones to have full and rich lives. I think this is a good start.
