Romania – A Family Changing The Nation
With just days after returning from Sierra Leone I was on the road again with yet another amazing opportunity for friendship and to celebrate/share what was happening in Romania with Romania Without Orphans (aka A.R.F.O).
Sharing the warmth of the Ilie family home I heard the incredible stories of adoption, a church fired up to support families and a nation becoming more switched on to the beauty and necessity of fostering, adoption and family preservation. As you see in the video above I was reminded how this isn’t a journey for one person but where the ideal is a journey taking place in the safety of the community. ‘A Journey Together’.
I was amazed to see first hand the church rallying around an adopting family, in a matter of days renovating and extending an entire house. I also attended the Romanian Refresh camp for foster and adoptive families. I found it amazing what is taking place in this country and how they are working with and encouraging/inspiring neighbouring nations.
