Heart Gallery Alabama – Adoption in Alabama – Find the Need

Have you heard of Heart Gallery Alabama? No? You have to check this out:  http://heartgalleryalabama.com

Heart Gallery promotes children in foster care throughout Alabama whose biological parental rights have been terminated, and who are subsequently in need of adoptive parents. That was a mouthful … in short, these kids need adoptive families.

“But, adoption is so expensive!”

Actually, it’s not. The State of Alabama wants to partner with you in adopting these kids and will pay all of your adoption expenses.

“Say that again, I don’t think I heard you.”

I said, adopting any of these kids, like Quamonyae, will not cost one red cent.

Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself.

 

 

About the author

12278871_866045895926_7477321868643051748_nSam McLure is the Founder of The Adoption Law Firm.

Sam and his wife Mary Beth were inspired to establish The Adoption Law Firm during the process of adopting their first son, Robi (read more about their experience on the blog, Go Get Robi).

Sam and Mary Beth were exposed to the great need for loving families to adopt abandoned children at home and around the world.  They began to dream of a law center that could zealously advocate for children to be placed in loving homes.  Eventually, that dream became a reality.

The Adoption Law Firm exists to zealously advocate for orphaned children to be adopted into loving homes.

The End of Orphan Care, by Sam McLure

The End of Orphan Care, now available through Amazon, is perhaps the most comprehensive work on orphan care, to date.

Samuel E. Upchurch, Jr., Founder and Chairman of the Board Oakworth Capital Bank, states that:

“Sam McLure makes a scholarly case for Christians everywhere to follow the admonitions in James 1:27 to visit the orphans in their afflictions.  McLure paints a picture which expands the definition of “orphans” and the meaning of “visit” and calls on the Church to care for the unborn, the fatherless and the at risk youth everywhere. I began reading this book to write an endorsement but, as one with an adopted grandchild, found much historical and theological support for adoption.”
