Just piping in for a bit to say a hello and a goodbye at the same time. I know it has been a while since I have posted, so for starters..Hello!
And also goodbye. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to be the voice behind this little blog and community of foster/adopt moms. When we moved to Little Rock two and half years ago with our newly patched together "forever family" I was ravenous for community and friendship. I needed like minded women to stand by and say "I understand your life and will laugh and cry with you- and do both at the same time, obviously."
And I found my people. Hallelujah!
The good news is our support community is growing even bigger. And it can't be contained by one non-profit, one church, one Facebook group, or one little blog.
There is group called the CAOC (Central Arkansas Orphan Coalition) that started about two years ago and it is gaining steam and bringing together local volunteers from all church denominations.
I hope you have heard of the HOPE conference coming March 6&7. The CAOC is the mastermind behind this annual conference. It is going to be a weekend full of learning from the experts, networking with other families, finding local community resources, and AHA moments. You can register here www.hopeconferencearkansas.org
The CAOC is also working to put together a community calendar for all foster/adopt support events around town, which was this intended purpose of this blog. And as such, I am ecstatic to fire myself and this little blog because the Spirit of God is moving and greater things are yet to come for the children and families in our city.
If you are a blog reader, I can still be found at www.christina-jones.blogspot.com where I talk about life, adoption, and raising boys because frankly I'm an over-sharing extrovert.
Hope to see you all at the conference!!!!
