God has truly answered our prayers for clarity and direction! We talked with the Hope Box ministry on the phone today and are so excited by the wonderful work they are doing and are planning to be doing! They seek out abandoned babies and their ministry is to keep them safe and find families for them. They are working to advance their ministry to include what they called 'border babies' who are babies born of illegal aliens or born in complicated situations. These babies are abandoned, but the state does not know what to do with them legally and eventually they are placed in the foster care system. The Hope Box is also wanting to expand the safe haven laws in Georgia to include more facilities for birth mothers to anonymously leave their babies since right now only medical facilities are legal and only if identifying information is left as well. In talking with them today, it became clear there is a huge risk for many of these babies to fall into the black market and the heart of those who are running the Hope Box is to build awareness of this need. They asked for prayer as they work to intercede for these little ones. I am including a link to their website and will be updating more on this wonderful ministry! They have a short video on their ministry and what it will be like when the box is officially opened.
