God keeps sending me clues

As I was cleaning up some today to prepare for GW and TJ coming home, I ran across a fortune from a fortune cookie. Don't ask why I kept it. It was in the middle of a bunch of receipts from Christmas 2009 (I know - don't laugh!!!)

Here is what it said:

Chill while you can, big project is coming your way!

Of course, it was quite applicable back in Dec 2009 (I just didn't know it) and it is extremely appropriate now!!!

Here are a few other fortunes I've kept over the last year

You will soon discover how truly fortunate you really are.

Be not simply good; be good for something.

You have a strong desire for a home and your family interests come first.

JA got one that he kept too:

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles by 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
