FacePalm Friday: Adoption Merchandise
Welcome to FacePalm Friday: Adoption Merchandise.
Your hosts will list their top picks for Adoption Merchandise that induced multiple FacePalm moments this week —something they learned or read about this week that caused the FacePalm to happen (you know, the expression of embarrassment, frustration, disbelief, shock, disgust or mixed humor as depicted in our Rally FacePalm smiley).
We invite you to add your FacePalm of the week to our comments. Go ahead and add a link, tell a personal story, or share something that triggered the FacePalm on the subject of child welfare or adoption.
My God Is Mighty To Save T-Shirt(within an outline of Africa)
“We are a family of 5 adopting our daughter from Ethiopia. Proceeds from the sale of these shirts will help us get our Referral Fee funded. These shirts are our personal design. ”
James 1:27 verse written in Amharic in an outline of Africa on a quilt
Waiting (im)patiently on a Scrabble tile necklace with Africa and a heart for country

Ethiopia adoption Map only showing Southern region
“Description….This map shows the regions of Southern Region & Oromiya Regions of Ethiopia where most children are adopted from currently. Highlighted also, are Nazret and Hosaena as well as Addis Ababa…Jodi’s art focuses on adoption families, multicultural families, and art that inspires hope & courage through our imagination. Many of her pieces are about families grasping for strength during waiting times for adoption, hope for adoption families, and the celebration of adoptees culture after their adoption. ”
Maybe it can double for a child trafficking map, too!
Chosen, Loved, Adopted pendant
Good news 
, “The quote on the washer is fully customizable, making it a perfect fit for anyone! The examples say “chosen.loved.adopted” and “I carry you in my heart” but some other good suggestions would be:
“i searched the world for you”
“on a wing & a prayer”
“not under my heart but in it”
“for this child i prayed”
“expecting from _____(country name)”
…or come up with your own!”
“This necklace is perfect for those mothers who are adopting, “expecting” from other countries, having a child through surrogacy, or a number of other ways. ”
Readers, feel free to insert your own phrase. I am sure you can think of some good alternatives.
