Ugandan Adoption! Royal Orphanage! Abba Fund!

This video is on Jason Kovacs site. His wife Shawnda is in Uganda picking up their newly adopted baby son. Please go to his site (Abba fund) read his words about the video. My friend Jodi just returned after meeting her new 3 kids. She said that the orphanage has 500 kids in it and 300 are available for adoption. I think I mentioned that the orphanage actually was upgraded and improved (given plumbing, running water, electricity, guest house) because one church of 125 raised money and just had faith and a burden for this orphanage. For those of you new to adoption here are some bits and pieces of what I know about Ugandan adoption. The program just recently opened up. It had a 36 month residency requirement in the past which has been lifted. NOw international adoption from Uganda consists of getting legal guardianship and then completing the adoption once in the states. Currently there are 143 million orphans globally. To find out more about orphans in general go to Christian Alliance for Orphans website. The ABBA FUND provides grants for families wishing to adopt internationally.
