My hairdresser Debbie Jones and several women are going to Uganda soon to assess the needs and ministries of orphan care in that area. Caroline's Promise is an organization that supports orphan care and education. Below is a link of one of their posts that I thought was helpful to me and to our family and friends who support us.
While we are waiting for a newborn and not necessarily pursuing adoption of an orphan through foster care or internationally, I feel that we are still responding to the call to take care of orphans. This little baby could be an orphan if we (and all the other couples waiting) were not seeking to adopt and waiting on God's perfect time. We continue to pray for the right situation and timing for us and try to wait patiently.
