Orphan Care and Adoption Summit at Focus on the Family
May 11, 2007 6:30 PM
In America, there are generally more families that want to adopt children than there are newborns available. But, the opposite is true for foster children. The government estimates that there about 115,000 kids in foster care in the country ready and waiting to be adopted. Evangelical leaders say that's a big motivation for the three-day Orphan Care and Adoption Summit wrapping up today at Focus on the Family. This is the third year they've held such a conference. The last two drew about a hundred people combined. This year, it's significantly bigger.

What is the world doing to stop the LRA in Northern Uganda? Truely, it is not the world's responsibility to take care of orphans, it is the church's responsibility and finally they are stepping up to take their responsibility seriously.
Wayne,
Since you believe that Warren is a fraud, go ahead and expose him. Show us all that hard proof you have (phone records, emails, credit card records, etc.). Give us all the gorey details.

Wayne, you seem to be a bitter man. Why would you make such unsubstantiated claims about someone else? And do you disagree that the world failing to care for orphans? Would you try to argue that the world is doing a good job taking care of the 150 million orphans, thousands of whom die everyday? If you would try to argue that, then whatever your claims about Warren's so-called fraud, you are certainly ignorant, and we have proof in your own statement.

Two weeks and still no response by Wayne. It's ok. May God bless you and your family. I'm glad that the Church is stepping up to help out in the plight of the orphans worldwide.
