All Adoptive Families Go Share Your Story at OrphansDeserveBetter.org

Christian Alliance For Orphans has launched a new website called Orphans Deserve Better in response to Warner Bros. new movie, Orphan. On this website, you can sign a pettition to ask Warner Bros. to contribute a portion of the proceeds to orphaned children, read facts about orphans in the world, watch a video message, find out how you can serve, and share your story of adoption. The petition states, "The film delivers a distorted picture of the difficulty and pain these children often carry. It also sells short the great love the so often return to those who reach out to them with care and compassion. We assume that you did not intend this, and we recognize that the film could be described as a far-fetched thriller. But the power of such a film to subtly shape attitudes and perspectives remains. In that regard, the movie Orphan, does no favors to the many children who share its name. For the sake of the world's more than 140 million orphans, people deserve to know better. They should have an honest understanding of the deep needs orphans face- as well as the satisfaction and beauty that can be found in embracing orphans as a mentor or adopted family, foster parent or nonprofit volunteer."

Please visit the website to share your story and sign the petition. www.orphansdeservebetter.org
