When Joseph returned to with his brothers after years of separation, forgiveness and love burst forth from his heart when he saw them. Joseph’s life literally changed the destiny of his family and history!
Each time a reunion occurs at Deaconess Pregnancy & Adoption Services, I think of this story. Many adoptees experience happiness, forgiveness and love when they’re reunited with their families of origin. However, for some, the journey back to their roots is difficult. Sometimes feelings of anger, bitterness, and abandonment are lodged in the heart of the adoptee, making the adoption journey and/or reunion chaotic and fearful.
The Joseph Fund was designed to meet these needs, however, we do not have the resources to provide services to all who request them. Monies will be used to create an adoption support group for teens, provide scholarships for those who desire to be reunited with their family of origin but cannot afford the fee, and to purchase resources utilized in the counseling process. Your help can change a destiny!
