The full story on James' adoption. If you haven't yet heard the outcome, or if you want to see how things have went throughout you will want to watch this video. Thank you all for your support this past three years. I hope our story lets others know that it is worth the battle to save a child.

awww,What a wonderful story. God has blessed you wih this son. My husband and I adopted three children that came from abusive home, they were 2 girls and 1 boy, brother and sisters, Childcare wanted to seperated them so we would not let it so we adpted all 3 of them, 13 years old, 7 years old and 2 years old and we had 4 of our own. God provided.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Mar 20, 2010, 9:50pm UTC
I am so glad you adopted all of them. I can't understand why they want to seperate these kids. They already been through enough

Very powerful story. You are a very good person.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Mar 11, 2011, 12:06pm UTC
Thank you
I remember when you first aired this video. I was so happy when the adoption became final. Whomever put together this video did an awesome job. It showed how much you really care.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jun 2, 2011, 10:16pm UTC
Thank You it seems like yesterday. I made the video, thank you
Your very welcome. The video does a great job showing how much compassion you have.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jun 2, 2011, 10:37pm UTC
This is one battle that was worth every bit of it
I agree. You did a great job with this battle and the continuing battle of child abuse. As a child abuse survivor myself, it is great to know there are others out there that do care.
Joy Odom Jun 25, 2011, 10:49pm UTC
I wish I could hear the vid. My comp won't play sound for some reason. I will post Elijah's story soon too. I want to adopt more children, but I have to get well first. Been very sick these past 2 years.

I love adoption and you are so blessed to have James. I pray more people would stand up to this challenge or at least support those who do. I have several friends who have adopted this past year and many more who are trying.

PS - I am adopted also.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jun 26, 2011, 12:58am UTC
Can't wait to read his story. So many children out there need love, wish more would consider adoption. Hope you get to feeling better soon. He is a cutie.
Betty S. Sep 19, 2011, 5:42pm UTC
Renee you have my highest admireration for adopting the child that needed you so much.

Right now I'm waiting to see if I get custody of five of one of my foster Daughters children of which two are disabled .
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Sep 19, 2011, 5:46pm UTC
Thank You Betty

Hang in there and never give up on the fight.
Betty S. Sep 19, 2011, 6:02pm UTC
Thank you Renee.This is a case of such a nightmarish for of child abuse,the oldest who is a 13 year old is dieing because she was raped by her Father and he had HIV.She had been beaten and has a brain injury.Already had two brain surgeries to try to stop her seizures.I just learned a few nights ago that my Foster Daughter was hit by a drunck driver and is in some hospital in Tennesee in a como.Two of the children are in a hospital in NYC.the others are in foster care.The 11 year old boy has cereabal palsy .Then there is two baby girls who are 17 months and 2 months. It's killing me to know what these kids have gone through and I can't stand to see them seperated.I don't know if I am phiscally or fianancially ab le to take care of them even if the court allows me have them.

I need the prayers from all who believe in the power of prayer.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Sep 19, 2011, 6:13pm UTC
You got prayers here
Beth Yost Oct 12, 2011, 1:38pm UTC
I didn't know the whole store, Renee. But, yes it was and is and shall always be worth the heartache and pain that you've gone through and will go through. So many do not realize that a child is a gift. And I see so many between her and facebook trying desperately to find answers and help a child. Those are the Angels I truly believe sent to take care of the little ones. God bless you and all those like you.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Oct 12, 2011, 5:49pm UTC
Thank You Beth
