There is still no sign of referrals from Nepal for New Beginnings families. Hopefully, they will come soon. It appears that some of our families have been matched and that their files are awaiting “consent” by the Minister? of MOWCSW. Did I mention that no one currently holds this position? Other agencies have received referrals so I am assuming that this position was recently vacated. Let’s pray for Nepal, MOWCSW, and the families in the program. For more information on the Nepal Adoption Program, please visit www.NewBeginningsAdoptions.org or call 662.842.6752.

     Celebration of Adoption is an annual event that New Beginnings hosts. It is normally a very surreal night. They serve food, a guest speaker who has been involved in an adoption at some point in their life tells his/her story and there is also entertainment. Every year it seems to get better and last year’s was amazing. This year the speaker is Micheal Reagan who as you may know was adopted and everyone is looking forward to hearing him speak.

The face of the little boy smiled from the photograph that we received in an email from our Nepal coordinator.  We opened a few more photographs of him…one of him sitting in front of a plate of food (and enjoying it by the looks of it), one of him sitting in front of our coordinator’s computer, another of him standing in a doorway, and another of him in which he looked distraught…sad, angry even.  This little boy, Rajesh*, is the first child in the New Beginnings of Nepal orphanage since a building was purchased to house the children.

Rajesh looks to be about five years old and really is a beautiful child.  Our Nepal coordinator shared a few details about Rajesh in his brief email.  He said that Rajesh came from the far western part of Nepal.  His mother had died, and his father had left home and never returned.  Orphaned, abandoned, alone, and frightened….We can only begin to imagine how this little boy must have felt, how he still must feel, and what he’s already seen in his short life.  I suppose if anyone had a reason to look distraught, he did.

I listened to a song the other day and loved one of the ideas that the song conveyed….hope can be frail, but it’s hard to kill.  It is our prayer to plant hope into the hearts of children like Rajesh and then to nurture that hope until it grows into something beautiful.  I opened another picture of Rajesh from the email.  It was a close up face shot, close enough to see the details of his sweet face – the cleft in his chin, his short brown hair with a cowlick near his hairline, the eyes that looked like pools of brown.  And his smile.  His smile was wide and genuine.  Maybe he’s already beginning to feel the love of his new caretakers, and maybe he’s already beginning to feel the hope of a better life.  God has great and mighty plans for little ones like Rajesh; may we have hope that those great and mighty plans can be realized for them, and may God bless you for helping these children to have hope and a future.

She called in the afternoon…just a normal call. “Can you help me get an abortion?” was the question. I shared with her the option of adoption. Her response? “I could never give my baby away to someone else…that would be cruel.”

What was I hearing? A loving adoptive family and a permanent home…cruel? Ending a child’s life…caring?

The truth, based on research, is that children raised in two parent adoptive homes have better outcomes than any other group of children, other than those raised by their biological parents in intact two parent homes.

Is adoption a cruel act or a self-less act? Is adoption an act of love and caring? If I could reach the baby of that birthmother who called adoption cruel….I wonder…what would he say?

     Hi, I’m Carley, I’m fifteen, and these are my thoughts about abortion. I think abortion is a very terrible option for pregnant girls. It’s not fair to the baby to end its life just because you weren’t prepared to have a child. You do have other options, for example you could give the child up for adoption where you know it will be placed into a good family that will love it and take care of it. I think abortion is murder and there is no sense in it. Someone somewhere who cannot have kids would be overjoyed to be able to adopt your child. This is what I think about abortion.

-Carley.

I am Carley, I am going to be a sophomore in high school, and I volunteer for New Beginnings. I do this because I think adoption is a great choice for birthmothers who can’t provide good environments for their children. Here at New Beginnings the children are placed into a loving home where parents who wish to adopt will love them. They also offer international adoption which helps save children around the world from poverty and cruelty. I believe New Beginnings is a great place for birthmothers and prospective adoptive families; this is why I volunteer here at New Beginnings.  

In the wake of the shooting of late-term abortionist George Tiller, President Barack Obama sent out a welcome message that this nation would not tolerate attacks on pro-lifers or any other Americans because of their religion or beliefs.

Ha ha! Just kidding. That was the lead sentence — with minor edits — of a New York Times editorial warning about theoretical hate crimes against Muslims published eight months after 9/11. Can pro-lifers get a hate crimes bill passed and oceans of ink devoted to assuring Americans that “most pro-lifers are peaceful”?

For years, we’ve had to hear about the grave threat that Americans might overreact to a terrorist attack committed by 19 Muslims shouting “Allahu akbar” as they flew commercial jets into American skyscrapers. That would be the equivalent of 19 pro-lifers shouting “Abortion kills a beating heart!” as they gunned down thousands of innocent citizens in Wichita, Kan.

Why aren’t liberals rushing to assure us this time that “most pro-lifers are peaceful”? Unlike Muslims, pro-lifers actually are peaceful.

According to recent polling, a majority of Americans oppose abortion — which is consistent with liberals’ hysterical refusal to allow us to vote on the subject. In a country with approximately 150 million pro-lifers, five abortionists have been killed since Roe v. Wade.

In that same 36 years, more than 49 million babies have been killed by abortionists. Let’s recap that halftime score: 49 million to five.

Meanwhile, fewer than 2 million Muslims live in America and, while Muslims are less murderous than abortionists, I’m fairly certain they’ve killed more than five people in the United States in the last 36 years. For some reason, the number “3,000″ keeps popping into my head.

So in a country that is more than 50 percent pro-life — and 80 percent opposed to the late-term abortions of the sort performed by Tiller — only five abortionists have been killed. And in a country that is less than 0.5 percent Muslim, several dozen Muslims have killed thousands of Americans.

We at New Beginnings would like to first say that we do not condone the work of Dr. Tiller the abortionist who was murdered over the weekend.  We, as people wanting to promote the sanctity of life, do not condone his killing either. 

 It’s very hard sometimes to apply equal justice in our hearts.  Let us pray that Dr Tiller’s family  friends will be comforted and turn away from the evil death of abortion.

God Bless
