Those words, written by the
Apostle Paul, are especially fitting
for the millions of Americans who
face life’s challenges as single per
sons.
America’s growing singles popu
lation represents a mosaic of situ
ations: students and young adults
involved in their careers, single
parents coping with heavy demands,
divorced and widowed adults deal
ing with loss and change, and others
who, for various reasons, have not
married.
Each of these persons has his or
her own particular needs and prob
lems, but all have a common need
for affirmation, acceptance and in
teraction with others, says a new
44-page booklet —“Stand Firm in
the Faith”—produced by the Ameri
can Bible Society (ABS). The book
let is a supportive Scriptural re
source for today’s singles.
Many single persons are left
without a sense of direction or in
volvement in their local congrega
tions. This new, five-chapter ABS
booklet can help single persons make
creative use of their freedom and
opportunities to serve. They can find
in God’s Word the resources that a
resilient faith needs to respond to
the many opportunities life pres
ents for sharing love. It also offers
affirmation of the single person as
an individual, confident in his or her
own identity.
For a free sample of “Stand Firm
in the Faith,” write to: American

public adoption agencies, presentations
for transracial families, and church and
organizational presentations on adop
tion.
There are several annual events
sponsored by One Church, One Child:
Adoption Sunday, recruitment fair,
children’s event, adoptive families
picnic, banquet, and a Christmas party
for adopted and foster children.
O. Virginia Phillips, Ph.D., the
executive director of the program, is
responsible to a 25-member board of
directors-each of whom is a minster.
Dr. Phillips is a graduate of Union
Graduate School, Cincinnati, Ohio with
a doctorate in Education Administra-
tion/Psychology. She is highly compe
tent administrator and a mother of nine
with fourteen grandchildren. She has
been working with high-risk and spe
cial needs children since 1977 and is an
adoptive parent herself.

The Egyptians, about 3000 B.C., used a checkmark as the letter T
waiting African American children.
Additionally, the media is widely used
to gel this information into the Afri
can American community: public
service announcements on television
and radio stations; OCOC representa
tives appearing on local television
shows; a bimonthly newsletter “ Love
Spoken Here’’ featuring waiting chil
dren; a cooperative effort with the
news magazine of an African Ameri
can radio station to feature waiting
children and, most recently, a public
awareness campaign involving purple
ribbons for everyone to display on
their car antennas until all waiting
African American children have been
place in adoptive homes. The theme
for One Church, One Child in 1991 is
EDUCATION. This theme will be
applied to practically every phase of
the One Church, One Child recruiting
and adoption process. The services to
families and children offered by One
Church, One Chi Id includes pre-adop
tion counseling, pre-adoption training

One Church, One Child is one of
several community service programs
under the umbrella of Albina Ministe
rial Alliance. One Church, One Child
is a minority recruitment program which
seeks to place African American chil
dren in African American adoptive
homes. The national One Church, One
Child program began in 1980and came
to Oregon in 1988 with the full en
dorsem ent o f G overnor Neil
Goldschmidt.
Before the inception of One Church,
One Child there was no effort made to
actively recruit African American
families for adoption. The effective
ness of One Church, One Child is evi
denced in the numerous African Ameri
can adoptive applicants and the (75%)
increase of adoptive placements with
African American families since 1988.
One Church, One child recruits its
families by providing churches and
community organizations with presen-
tors who inform the congregation/staff
about the need of adoptive families for
