Time for some ed-u-macation

I know folks, it's been a while, so here's the quick 30 second low-down on my life and the reason for this post.

The hubs and I have moved to HAWAII!
We've been here for  two months, attending BYU.
And loving it!
I am up to my eyeballs in classes.  7 of them to be exact!
Overwhelmed does not begin to describe the stress I am under.
But it will go by oh so fast, because both of us graduate next April.

On to the good stuff.
Adoption. Our new social worker is beyond amazing.
I have never heard so many people say so many great things about a lady.
We met her and instantly loved her.
She is about the cutest little Asian lady I have ever met.
She is just beaming with the Spirit and has so much positivity I bet if she bursted
happiness would just shoot out everywhere.
Truly, I wish I can carry her around in my pocket, she is a doll.
Okay got the point, on how much I love her?

Time for us to educate.
When we met with her for our joint interview she told us of some very disturbing numbers.

She said that out of 100 births, 1 is placed for adoption, 
and pound the drums people this is
unbelievable... 

50 are aborted.

There are so many great couples who are hoping to adopt.  To think of how many children were meant to go to homes of these deserving couples, but because those who are facing an unwanted pregnancy don't know where to turn for resources on options they may make a decision in where they are not well informed.  PLEASE tell them about LDS family services.  They will give free counseling and give them all the options.  The person does not need to be a member and LDS Family Services will not force them on any choice.  They are simply there to provide options.  So please let everyone know. 
 It's the only way we  can educate and make a difference.
