Loux Famly
I came across this cool ministry, www.adoptionfathers.com, though this family's blog. AdoptionFathers.com was started by a father who could find any helpful resources during their adoption process..he now has several video interviews of fellow adoption fathers, some wit 6+ adopted. He asks questions about all the fiances, the long and confusing paperwork, the fears of not loving the child like you own and more, and more. Just thought I would share with those of you who are in the adoption process as well (or will be soon!) Watch this video of meeting his daughter for the fist time, it is very touching. Click HERE.
Derek Loux Please continue praying for the Loux family, who loss their father, Derek, last December to in a car accident. Derek at the young age of 37, left behind his wife and 10 children, 8 adopted, including special needs sons from the Ukraine. Ethan, one of them, was just 11 pounds when he was adopted at age 5. Renee, his wife runs the Orphan Justice Center which guides other families through the adoption process. She said, "Our personal goal when Derek was still alive was to take in 30 children," Renee said. "And I’m still carrying that torch."
"My friends, adoption is redemption. It’s costly, exhausting, expensive, and outrageous. Buying back lives costs so much. When God set out to redeem us, it killed Him." -Derek
