Welcome Friends! Thank you for reading our blog and sharing your comments with us.

The Adopted/Adopt Cross above is a logo our friend, Jon Flaming, created for us after we shared with him our hearts for adopting. As followers of Christ, we have been adopted into His family.....and we hope that the shirts and hats that we will be displaying will increase awareness what Christ has done for each one of us....and the opportunities that we may have in caring for the hurting.

In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will. Ephesians 1:5

Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
James 1:27
