Amen, Julie! I presume the GLF is a warm-up, of sorts, for the International Advocates Conference scheduled next month in DR–y’know, one of the places that keeps getting hit by the hurricanes and tropical storms, tho’ not to the same extent, apparently, as Haiti.

Anyway, I anticipate that conference attendees will learn all kinds of neat things that will have come out of the GLF. Cool, huh! And both the GLF and the conference call for a lot of prayer, from all of us.

Oh, I want to be there so badly! You’ll have to give hugs and high-fives around for me! Tell them — the Advocate’s Network is praying for them, too!

Okay, rethought what I wrote. I’m not disappointed that you guys are getting together and talking about the future of Compassion-that’s AWESOME!

Disappointed that I need an answer and don’t know how to get it.

Just had to clear that up!

That sounds awesome. What a great oppurtunity to have a big brain storm with God controlling the storm!

But I was a bit disappointed. Why? Because I saw the title and saw forum and I have been thinking that Compassion needs a forum.

On a selfish, I need a Compassion forum today (so build me one! haha KIDDING). I have a little question that will impact our family in a huge way and I am needing some guidance. It has to do announcing our adoption plan to family and friends by starting a new sponsorship from the same area. We want to be able to visit our sponsored child when we travel there (in about 2 years) to pick up our adopted child, but would prefer if the child lived near by. I found a family who has done this, but there sponsored child had to ride a bus for 12 hours to get there.

So sorry for going off topic, but I called Compassion and they were able to tell me that there are a lot of centers near where we are adopting, but didn’t have the means to tell us which ones.
