MARN Launches PLEDGE ZERO Campaign with Communities of Faith

While faith moves people to adopt orphans, as fewer orphans are available for adoption from other countries, faith is moving congregations to adopt children from “our own backyard.”

MARN is targeting November to launch a Pledge Zero campaign with communities of faith. Churches, synagogues and mosques are asked to pledge to reduce the number of Minnesota children waiting for families. Pledge ZERO cards will be distributed, asking congregations to partner with MARN to learn about adoption through regular postings of profiles and photos of waiting children, sermons, information for bulletins, and other means of recruitment.

For more information, contact MARN Board member, Paula Graff at paulagraff@aol.com
