The evening included stories of families who adopted children through Antioch Adoptions, celebrations of the blessings of adoption, many encouraging speakers, and a delicious meal. (We had a few empty seats at our table, so Samson and Cliff did a nice job of making sure none of the food went to waste.) They had also put together two slide shows, Orphan Montage and What is Adopted?, which were both informative and touching.
One of the highlights of the evening for me was seeing the adoptive families together. Not only had many of the children in attendance been placed into their families by Antioch Adoptions, but they also had a special job--they were the ushers who showed us to our table. It excited me to think that one day our children may attend and seat guests at upcoming banquets. What a joy that would be!
It was a very special evening and we were excited to support the amazing work God is doing through Antioch Adoptions.

Hi Mackenzie!
I'm Bonnie from Antioch Adoptions, the one who came to your table to ask about your seats at the banquet. ;-) Andrew Schneidler forwarded me the link to your blog and I'm so thrilled that you and Cliff enjoyed the evening! It truly was inspiring to celebrate what God is doing through this ministry and I thank Him for people like you who are walking with us in answer to His call to care for orphans! May you be blessed!
In His Service,
