STUCK: It's more than a documentary. It's a love story.

Jeremy and I are stuck; however, we're not alone.  There are many other families in similar situations, just as stuck as we are.  And, sadly, there are millions of children around the world that are stuck.

Stuck families are families who are waiting for the children they love to come home.  Stuck families spend months and years jumping through hoops, submitting multiple pieces of paperwork, and riding an emotional roller coaster while waiting to adopt their sweet babies.

Stuck children are in orphanages all over the world waiting for families.  Stuck children spend months and years in orphanages missing out on the love and care provided by forever families.

Our being stuck is the result of an international adoption system that is full of bureaucracy and red tape; it's a situation that, at times, seems unchangeable and hopeless.  When we start talking in terms of government red tape and international countries' rules and regulations, it seems that we're hopelessly stuck.

Thankfully, there are people trying to change the system so families and children don't stay stuck in a maze of red tape.  Both Ends Burning is a non-profit that works to promote adoption.  They have made a documentary (called STUCK), which follows three adopting families as they struggle through the endless red tape to bring their children home. STUCK's purpose is to raise awareness of the problems with the current system that keep millions of children in orphanages and to effect change that will unite these children with families.

Next Thursday, April 18th at 6:30, join us at Fellowship Church in Nashville for a viewing of this film.  Visit the websites above (by clicking on Both Ends Burning and/or STUCK) to watch the film's trailer, buy tickets, purchase the film, or sign the petition.
