Need your opinion...
I am trying to do my part in raising awareness about adoption.
On Sunday,November 18th I am singing at church "When Love Takes You In" (the song Steven Curtis Chapman wrote after he adopted one of his daughters from China) and intend to have a powerpoint going on the large screen behind me with photos of many waiting children. The agency that I used has lots of photolistings on their site, however, most of the kids are Asian. Clearly, that is where MY heart is  , but I wouldn't want to limit the faces that the congregation sees. I want them to see all ages, races and genders.I found a site called precious.org (I don't believe it is an agency -- all photos in the listings list specific agencies that they are with so hopefully we can discuss here -- if not please PM me). Has anyone heard of this site? Is it legit? I don't want to use photos from a baby broker site or a scam site that would be a problem...

I would also check with the owners of the site to get their approval. I know it seems silly, however I found a picture of Lilly on a site a week ago. No one knew why her picture was there. I spoke to the owner and she said that they usually have permission but was not sure why it was there.
You can look at the kids at Lilly's O and I would say you could most likely use there ics. I will Email you the link. Heidi

oleson1, what a fantastic idea!! Bless your heart! I hope things go well!
I would also contact adopt US kids, they have a national data base of waiting children in the foster care system.
