An exciting opportunity is here.
There are children being born every day that will have no home. While, there are many Christian couples and families that would love to adopt these children the high cost of adoption makes it difficult to proceed for several. Where most see a problem, David and Dana Carrozza saw an opportunity and founded Sacred Selections (www.sacredselections.org). This foundation was established in 2006 by individual Christians who are dedicated to helping fund adoptions for conservative Christian families. It is a non-profit 501(C)3 California corporation and focuses on providing the financial means for Christian couples to adopt a child given up by a mother that may have otherwise chosen a worse fate for the child.
Our Russian adoption of Irina, three years ago, was an amazing experience and she continues to thrive as she grows and learns more of God’s ways. Sacred Selections was not yet established, but dozens of people helped us by donating funds and gift cards to help ease the financial costs and it was a great blessing to us. Many have expressed a desire to help other families but simply are not aware of who needs help. Through Sacred Selections, we all have a chance to help care for these children by helping families with the financial burden of adopting while giving the children the greatest gift we could ever give, a Christian home.
We have planned some special events on Friday, June 27 and Saturday, June 28 in Bartlett, TN where you can become involved with this worthy effort. The founders of Sacred Selections, David and Dana Carrozza, will be flying in to be with us. Please reserve this time on your calendars and join us for this fun filled weekend.
Planned Events for Sacred Selections include:
· Friday June 27th: Famous Memphis BBQ Feast & Auction
· Saturday June 28th: Pancake Breakfast
· Saturday June 28th: Golf Tournament
More detailed information will be sent out soon. If you would like to be included on the distribution list, please email your address to lisah2oman@bellsouth.net.
We hope you will plan on joining us in this effort, if not by participating in one of our planned activities, then possibly through donation. If you know of others who might be interested in this opportunity of bringing families and children together, we encourage you to pass this on to them.
Hi, my name is Andrea Johnson. I just wanted to thank you for all you do to help make families possible. We adopted our daughter through Lifetime in 1998. It is an experience I wouldn't trade for anything! Keep up the great work you are doing!
Hi Nicole's Mome!! I'm Sharon Garner. I was at Nicole's wedding. I'm from Nashville, TN. I went to FC with Nicole and Nick. Anyway, just wanted to say hey!
Thank you to ALL who have been soooo very encouraging in what we are trying to do with our Foundation SACRED SELECTIONS. Our website is still in progress but feel free to give it a look and tell me what you think... Sacredselections.org
Dana, I cried when I heard that song a few years ago. My family worked with you on that adoption. I would be very happy if the song could be recorded amd maybe help someone. I met you in Pinole when we were both pregnant with our 26 year olds! It's good to see you on Pleonast!
Hi there! So good to see you on here. I am so excited about the website! I know I already told you this a few times, but I have to say it again... it looks great!!
Your website looks great! I will definitely pass the word along and thank you for what you are doing!! (My name is Carrie (Davis) Willis. I went to FC with Nicole and OR camp with Cameron.)
THANK YOU THANK YOU !!! For all your kind words about Sacred Selections. My Daughter Nicole set me up on Pleonast and i am not all that technically oriented ! WE are just trying to get the word out about SACRED SELECTIONS to as many Christians as possible. Please share the website and the vision with as many of your friends in the church. We were just blessed with our first ever fund raiser... it was a Dove Shoot... put on by the Weaver family of Alabama. During that weekend some 300 attended and they raised for SACRED SELECTIONS over $13,000!! We were so very happy and humbled that so many would give so much to help put children in Christian homes! This past weekend my husband and i traveled to Austin, Texas where we met with some people who "may" be able to help us in finding more children for Christians. Please keep this effort as well as All the many Birthmothers who are trying to decide what is best for their child in your hearts and prayers! Keep checking the website ....SACREDSELECTIONS.org... for more updates and precious pictures of our new families!
Hi Dana. It's Sharon Foster. We talked when I was looking for info for the Lankfords. We've since moved from Cedar Park to Minneapolis. In fact, I just gave your information to a couple here who already have everything in place and have been waiting for about six months.
Posting for my mom....To All couples who would like to Adopt:
This posting is for ANY members of the church of Christ who have a completed Home Study...
Right now there are some birth mothers that are contemplating adoption that have contacted me.
If you are interested in adoption please send to me your profile .
These situations would involve only Legal fees. I am NOT an agency or facilitator ,i never have nor will i ever charge a fee... just someone trying to help children into Christian homes.
