Whether through the miracle of adoption or of childbirth, parenthood is both an exquisite gift and an extraordinary responsibility.  Adoption is also a dynamic and transforming process; a process that will change the parent as much as the child.  It is not an end in itself, but the beginning of a new life.  This metamorphosis from orphan to daughter or son, from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153parent-to-be\u00e2\u20ac? to mother or father, can be intimidating and at times overwhelming.<br \/>\nFor this reason, it is our desire to provide an environment where people can cultivate the Godly parenting skills this lifelong journey requires. Through our adoption fellowship groups, individuals will find a loving and supportive community; a place where they can grow as parents, spouses, friends and most importantly. . . as children of God.  It is also a place to come together for prayer and encouragement.  At America World, we believe that adoption changes much more than one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s view of parenthood.  It can expand our ability to love, enlarge our perception of the world, and ultimately, transform the basis of our faith.  <\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter what part of the process of adoption you are currently in.  You are invited and encouraged to attend whether you are just starting the process, are in the paper pregnancy stage, or have already brought your child home.  Each of us can benefit from the other and the fellowship will be deepened greatly.<\/p>\n<p> Saturday,  July 23rd  from  5:30  PM to  7  PM.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.glorychurch.com\"> The Lord&#8217;s Glory Church<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>461 Artesian Plaza Dr.<\/p>\n<p> Humble, TX  77338 <\/p>\n<p>www.glorychurch.com<\/p>\n<p>Please RSVP to  Brandon &#038; Sarah Battle at thebattles@awaa.org.<\/p>\n<p>We are so excited about this and we look forward to having more of these meetings on a regular basis .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>America World Adoption Fellowship Group Humble, TX Parenthood is a calling divinely orchestrated by God.
