The new Adoption Bear has not only been a wonderful addition to our line of specialty bears, but it has also opened a whole new world to us. Each adoption bear order brings unique and personal stories as families bring home their babies. One example is Amy and Josh Bottomly who just released a book, From Ashes to Africa, chronicling their path leading to and through adoption. Here's a synopsis:
"Our story begins where the trailhead ends. A rocky marriage. Life pressures. Infertility.
The deep, dark woods. We've all been there. Good stories, though, always contain a moment of grace. A moment where the narrative arc takes a surprising twist, and bends toward hope. For us, that exquisite moment of grace took place in an orphanage in Africa where we met and fell in love with a baby boy named Tesfamariam. Adoption was our awakening. It's where we discovered a world within our world made up of 4.4 million orphans. As a result, we know we can't go back to life as normal. Instead we feel summoned to a lifestyle of involvement with the "least of these."
This new ADOPTION BEAR GIFT SET includes a vanilla minky bear with the child's name on the chest and flag of their birth country on the foot PLUS the book, From Ashes to Africa by Josh and Amy Bottomly.
Even better, not only will you be giving an original handmade gift, you will be helping orphans in need around the world... A portion of each order will be donated to Children's Hope Chest, an orphan care ministry that reaches thousands of orphans through their orphan sponsorship programs.
