I forgot to make an entry about my hoodlums on Halloween. I already posted pictures of Caleb, Steven and James in their costumes a few days ago. Billy dressed up as a Boise State Bronco fan, Scheri as a Hansen Huskey basketball player, and Teresa was a rock band member. I was stationed down at the church for the annual Trunk or Treat so it was already dark when I saw the older girls so their pictures didn't turn out. But at least I can include Princess Abby and Boise Bronco Billy. Shhhhh! Don't tell! We never did get around to carving pumpkins this year--and so far none of my kids have complained about it.<br />

Also on Sunday evening October 27, Abby and I baked chocolate cakes to use as the base for her school volcano project. She and I practiced mixing the baking soda and vinegar to watch the chemical reaction. We ended up having to make a paper cone top on our volcano because the BBQ sauce bottle we were using for the funnel was too tall for our cake.<br />

<span class="userContent"><br /> We had an
amazingly good seminar on Saturday using the "If You Were Mine" DVD's.
It was attended by 4 family units actually interested in learning more
about adoption. If you are from a big church or big city maybe "4"
sounds small but for us it is HUGELY exciting. These people blessed me
enormously just by attending. I think we all left with full tummies,
crammed hea</span>ds, tired bum-bums and a
desire to investigate the adoption option further. Interestingly enough
in this relatively small group, there were folks interested in foster
care adoption, domestic adoption, as well as international adoption!
One lady left promising to look at the Reece's Rainbow site--especially
interested in babies with Down syndrome.<span class="userContent"></span><br />

During Sunday worship
we showed the informational video regarding the "If You Were Mine"
series! I had set up a big table in the foyer with rice/prayer folders
for Orphan's table; the brochure "Ten Things Every Christian Can Do for
the Orphan;" Christmas catalogs from World Vision and Samaritan's Purse;
Prayer Guide: "40 Days of Prayer;" a few foster care DVD's from last
year's event. Finally, I had made a poster of the ways the Assemblies
of God is officially involved in orphan care and printed off 25 copies
of the survey put out from the Assemblies of God regarding foster care
(for people who don't have internet access.) I got all the rice handed
out, as well as a few catalogs and brochures. But I think I was only
able to give out ONE paper copy of the foster care survey (though I did
hand out a few copies of the on-line link)--and that was to my Daddy.
No, wait, I did give out one other copy to the lady who told me she
didn't think people should be going to other countries to adopt but
should adopt the children right here in the States. I told her, "Then
THIS is for you--it is talking about foster care of our kids right here
in the States." <br />
<br />
So I guess the bottom line is: we've come a long way but we still have a long ways to go.</div>

<br />
We serve a mighty God who IS able to move mountains, but sometimes
He is simply just trying to help us see something from a different
perspective. Orphan Sunday is not about one church, one person, or one
objective. Orphan Sunday is the Church (collectively as God intended)
coming together on ONE DAY with ONE PURPOSE using ONE VOICE. Let us
begin this week raising ONE VOICE of prayer to Him on Monday, October
29. Below is a Prayer & Fasting Guide for the week leading up to
Orphan Sunday. We ask you to join with us in praying for Judea (your
town), Samaria (the US) and the uttermost parts of the world.<br />
<br />
<div>

<i>Today, pray for local
foster and adoptive folks who are on the front lines of orphan care to
be encouraged, supported by the local church, and that God may give them
the strength to continue. This includes, but is not limited to: foster
and adoptive parents, those who work within the foster care system,
those who facilitate foster care or adoptive services, case workers,
social workers, psychologists and therapists. These folks are on the
front lines of orphan care and often feel alone or bound by a system.</i><br />

Hansen, Idaho (KMVT-TV) If you've never had a child before, it's a
big job figuring out how to care for your kid, even if they don't have
any special needs. <br />
<br />
At first, Kevin and Joy McClain from Hansen
were foster parents. Then they realized they wanted to adopt a little
boy they were taking care of named Billy. But that was just the first
of their adventures in adoption, because so far they've adopted seven
kids with special needs. <br />
<br />
Adoptive Parent Joy McClain says, “The
autistic spectrum disorder, some attention deficit, some cerebral
palsy, and our youngest two have Down syndrome.” <br />
<br />
The two
youngest kids are a pair of eight year old boys from Ukraine named
Stephen and Caleb. The rest of the McClain clan includes Billy, who's
now 18 years old, Teresa, James, Scheri, Caleb, and Stephen. Abby is
eleven years old, and is the latest addition from Bulgaria.<br />
<br />
Billy McClain says, “We go to church, learn about God, read the Bible, and sing, listen to the pastor.” <br />
<br />
Joy
McClain says she and her husband Kevin didn't really choose Billy
because he had special needs. She says he was just their kid, and the
special needs came along with him. But this family of nine has plenty
of room for all these personalities, which seem to fit together pretty
well. <br />
<br />
Scheri McClain, 16, says, “We have our ups and downs. But together as a family we seem to make things work.” <br />
<br />
A
free informational workshop on adoption called “If You Were Mine” will
be held this Saturday, November 3rd beginning at 8:30 a.m. That will be
held at the Hansen Assembly of God Church, 319 Second Avenue East in
Hansen. </div>

We are using Alpha-Omega's Monarch program this year for James who is a freshman. We were really struggling with Science until we purchased a science kit that contains most of the "stuff" that he needs for his projects. James seems to be enjoying these lessons -- and I know I am not dreading Science experiments so much myself.orphans4mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18118555068411725373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391680819139660940.post-57744171009627033822012-10-24T13:00:00.003-06:002012-10-24T13:00:58.027-06:00WACAP Boys Who Need a Family~Oct. 24, 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He lives in a foster family with a brother, grandfather, and his foster
parents. He enjoys playing with his friends. He says that he isn’t the
best in class at school, but he does do his
homework. He has a beautiful smile. Stan was very polite and respectful
and bowed to greet us and again as he left. He is a very charismatic
boy and we observed him helping and taking care of other children
throughout our visit. What he really needs is a permanent
family who will take care of him.</span></div>

Kevin, Billy and James spent time yesterday and today repairing the siding on our motor home. It had torn off on one of our last trips and with winter approaching Kevin didn't want to leave it unprotected. My clever husband is using the sheeting that is made to surround tubs and showers and in the process saving us lots of moolah.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning our whole family went to church over in Hagerman because Pastor Tellez gave me the wonderful opportunity to talk to his congregation about Orphan Sunday. I was able to leave posters, orphan care handouts, info about foster care as well as packages of rice there at the church. Pastor Tellez said they will expand on my talk on November 4!! Cool!! We ate at the Snake River Grill, the same place Kevin and I had our first meal together after our wedding over 18 1/2 years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This afternoon, the guys also repaired our roof where the nasty wind on the 16th had ripped shingles loose. (James and I had missed the windstorm because we had gone to the Fellowship Meeting in Gooding. The same wind mangled our trampoline and sent it sailing into the field behind our house.)</div>

While the big kids were in Nampa attending an overnight Youth Conference, the rest of us drove up to Lake Cleveland, a gorgeous place formed by a volcano. I've been wanting to go but the older kids weren't interested in the trip so this seemed the perfect time. Abby was there, too--not sure why she's not in any of the pictures.orphans4mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18118555068411725373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391680819139660940.post-83492203504334568212012-10-22T01:01:00.004-06:002012-10-22T01:01:57.074-06:00Purple Hair~September 30, 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The cherry tree in our front yard was hanging too low to park our van under and there was a lot of dead wood in there, too. Here are Billy, Steven and Caleb "helping" Papa with the tree trimming project. My Daddy was so patient with the boys and they really had a good time. Honestly, it reminded me of that verse that says we are laborers together with God and how God is so patient with us when we "help" him undertake various projects. I am so blessed to have a father who truly loves Jesus.<br />

When we arrived at the fairgrounds somewhere between noon and 1:00 pm, we were disappointed to learn that the rides wouldn't be open until 5:00 pm (turned out to be more like 6:00 pm) This gave us time to eat, go through exhibit buildings, watch a bear show and a police dog show, go into a building that had musical instruments from many countries, etc. At 7:00 pm some of us went to an exhibition of Knights in the arena which James especially had looked forward to. Afterwards we did lots of rides and eventually met up with Kevin who had come over after work. It was well after midnight when we got back in our car to head home.orphans4mehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18118555068411725373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391680819139660940.post-22888368504371505402012-10-22T00:18:00.001-06:002012-10-22T00:23:00.475-06:00Items for the Blatchley's~August 27, 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We loaded up a BUNCH of school supplies (some left over from our Block Party) along with some beauty products and headed to the District office in Nampa. These will be going in a big container the Blatchleys are filling up for their Family Circus ministry in the Philippines. <br />

Kevin has literally spent weeks planning, purchasing and preparing for the myriad details of tomorrow's Block Party to be held in our church's parking lot. Here he is on Saturday trying to get a few more things loaded into his car to take down there with him.<br />

Sunday evening at the Block Party: We had hot dogs, chips, drinks, pop corn, cotton candy, face painting,
jump house, train, broom hockey, turkey bowling, carnival games for the
little tykes, free drawings every 10 minutes, live music and
entertainment, school supplies, give-aways, scavenger hunt--everything
FREE. It absolutely dumped rain in the morning. It dumped rain while
we were setting up. And it dumped rain at 7:30 pm but in between we had
a hugely successful event with probably around 300 people in
attendance--WAY, WAY more than I had dared to imagine. Thank you,
Jesus.<br />
