Our OLD house

When we went back to NC for CP's mom's funeral, we took some time to stop and visit our ~~old~~ former neighbor. While there, we took some pictures of our OLD house. Yes, old - it was built in 1923. We LOVED this house. It was 3000 sf and had SIX bedrooms (for LOTS of kids!!) It had four fireplaces including one in the Master Bedroom and one in the kitchen. It has hardwood floors throughout and....

a HUGE barn in the backyard.

I really miss it!

Thank you for my wonderful gift. You are so thoughtful. Email me your snail mail if you think of it. ;)

Orphan Statistics

Inter-country adoption has decreased 59 percent from its high in 2004, due primarily to restrictions by sending countries.
81.5 million Americans have considered adoption. If just 1 in 500 of these adults adopted, every waiting child would have a permanent family.
Every year more than 23,000 children age out of foster care, leaving them without families of their own.
The average waiting child is 7.5 years old.
Last year, nearly 9,000 children were adopted internationally
Of the estimated 238,280 children who exited foster care during 2013, the median amount of time spent in care was 21.8 months.
In 2013, California and Texas were the two U.S. states with the most children in public foster care waiting for adoption.
As of 2013, an estimated 17.7 million children worldwide had lost one or both parents to AIDS. Most of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa.
The births of nearly 230 million children under age 5 worldwide (about one in three) have never been recorded, depriving them of their right to a name and nationality
