Brandon's Forever Home
Description
Brandon's Forever Home is a non-profit organization established to raise adoption and foster care awareness. Email us fosterlove@brandonsforeverhome.com. Brandon's Forever Home was created to help foster children in need, and most importantly encourage others to consider adoption from foster care! After struggling for years with infertility, Michael and Lorine Ogurkis decided with loving support of their friend Tarah Toohil, to adopt. Tarah's parents fostered over 42 children and adopted one daughter from foster care. Since the adoption of their son, they also welcomed into their family Brittany, an 18 year old who aged out of foster care. Since then, the Ogurkis' family along with Tarah have worked every day to spread the message about children in care and how people can make a difference to the lives of the many forgotten children in foster care!

TEAM BFH- I thought I'd share this with all of you hoping to adopt your foster children! Lori❤️ My prayer Lord, I know that there've been times I haven't done whats right. I didn't follow in your path, or say my prayers at night. I've lived my life for me alone but now that all has changed. I stand before you humbled and call upon your name. I prayed that you would give me a child of my own A child of my heart, not of my flesh and bone. You answered my prayer and now I know what I never knew before What it's like to be a mother and to love another more. I thank you for this Lord, for this joy that I have known for this child of my heart, not of my flesh and bone. Now please don't take him from me Lord, don't let him go away Let me watch him grow and learn, please Lord let him stay. I pray to you with all I am, what little that may be I leave it up to you to control my destiny For you alone have the power, you are the Lord divine You alone can make it happen...please make this baby mine. ❤️🙏❤️
