Our organization has a website!

We have started an organization to provide grants for couples who can't afford to adopt and otherwise would not adopt, if it weren't for financial assistance. Bob felt God pressing on his heart about the plight of orphans until he started Open Hearts for Orphans, and he has done most of the work of researching how to start an organization and the paperwork. We do have a board of five people and have had many brainstorming and decision-making meetings. We are only in the beginning stages and haven't gotten 501C3 status, that is, non-profit status, but we have become incorporated. Friends of ours are working on our website and we have yet to raise funds. However, one person did give us a sizeable donation which is an exciting start...100% of it will be put into a grant. Our friends are doing the website for us, pro bono...yay! Now we are hoping for a kind lawyer to do the same. Our logo can be seen at our website's URL at http://www.openheartsfororphans.org/. I am excited to see where God carries this organization to help these precious children find forever families.
