Building Arizona Families

From the Desk of Kelly Rourke-Scarry, MSW

Dear Friend,

 

Summer is almost here, and we are hoping that the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic will start to substantially subside. Many of us are also hoping life will return to normal so we can enjoy a wonderful, fun-filled summer, great vacation, and a sense of normalcy.

As we enter the summer season, Building Arizona Families will face an additional set of challenges.  Every summer there is a lag in adoption interest, in donations, and in volunteer hours as families go on vacations to escape the summer heat, and in many cases, focus on keeping children busy who are out of school. 

In the adoption world, families willing to move forward to adopt a vulnerable newborn are absolutely critical to the process of saving babies’ lives.  The need certainly does not slow down in the summer! Did you know that in the U.S., only 2% of Americans have adopted?

If you are currently considering adopting a newborn, we urge you to move forward, as the number of pregnant women in crisis is growing.   As a licensed adoption agency, we can serve adoptive families around the United States.

Building Arizona Families serves pregnant women in crisis in Arizona.  In the summer months in most parts of Arizona, the summers are particularly difficult for pregnant women in crisis.  This is particularly true for homeless pregnant women or pregnant women living in shelters where they must leave during the day, and return at night to sleep.  Exposure to illness, homelessness, domestic violence, alcohol and drug abuse, and mental illness have all increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

If you know anyone who is considering adopting a newborn, or a women experiencing a crisis pregnancy, please forward this newsletter to them, and give them our contact information.  Women facing crisis pregnancies need a positive option that gives life and a future to their baby.  Please share my personal cell number.  I am available 24/7/365 to help pregnant women in crisis.  My cell is 623.695.4112 and women can text or call me. 

We are truly in uncharted waters.  Normal challenges that Building Arizona Families is  accustomed to facing are exacerbated by the impacts of COVID-19.  It is going to take everyone who cares about saving the lives of unborn babies, providing a fresh start to women in crisis, and helping families fulfill their dreams of having a baby to pull together in this time of unprecedented need.

Did you know that Building Arizona Families is a non-profit, 501(c)3 charitable organization?  Your generous financial contribution can help us identify pregnant women in crisis who how we can help them through their crisis, give their baby a wonderful future, and provide a fresh start for a positive future.  Adoption changes so many lives in such wonderful ways!  To help, please reach out to Jennifer by e-mail HERE, or call her at 623-680-2152. 

Gifts in kind also make a substantial difference.  We need maternity clothing, non-perishable food items, grocery gift cards, phone cards, and bus passes to help meet the needs of pregnant women who are making the courageous decision to give their baby the gift of life and a future.

The need is so great – please consider involving your church, your work, your friends in this mission to rescue, save, and bless lives – it’s a work of love with many lives at stake, including the most vulnerable in our society – the unborn who have no protection except the love of a mother. To help, please reach out to Jennifer by e-mail HERE, or call her at 623-680-2152.  Thank you for becoming a part of the miracle of adoption.

Saving and changing lives together.

All the best,

birth mother adoption stories

MEET BRIANA

 

Building Arizona Families

A friend told Briana about Building Arizona Families.  As a young single mother with a child, she is pretty much on her own, with very little support.  Abused, struggling with substance abuse, and broke, Briana knew she could not parent another child.  A friend told her about Building Arizona Families, and she reached out for help.  Briana found the caring support she needed to make the difficult decision to place her unborn baby girl for adoption.  Through Building Arizona Families, Briana believes she has found the most wonderful people she has ever met in the family that will be adopting her baby girl.  Please take a couple of moments to watch Briana’s story.
