well, let’s see… I am going BACK to Uganda and Ethiopia next summer to share CRAZY Love with Visiting Orphans, and we are in the process of possibly adding 4 more kiddos to our nest through adoption domestically. But honestly, we know we are superheroes NOT for what WE do, but only through what we allow GOD to do THROUGH us. It is ALL HIS strength and power daily- we are just resting on his big and mighty shoulders!
Love you Mama Kiki!!!
I will of course share on FB..and your button is on our blog..

Hmmmmm- i leave next friday for Uganda to see the sweet one we are joinging to be in our forever family! I’m also apart of a group that will be going back to serve in UG in the spring (hopefully my little love will be home, so for this trip i am a prayer partner) I love wearing shirts with meaning so i can tell all who ask about adoption and orphan care (things beyond adopting…supporting someone who is, sponsering a child, sponsering an orginization) I’ve learned since starting our journey, lot’s of people don’t know all they can do. I love to share with them that no matter how little they think giving $5 is, it can be the difference between a child having a meal or not. So thankful for all oppurtunities to share and fun ways to do it! (via a sweet super hero shirt!) Thanks for making it a possibility!
reposting on FB and adding you to my blog! thank you!!!

1. Since we have daughters, I would have to say our favorite super hero is either Dora or Strawberry Shortcake…those count right!
) Only kidding! We love the super hero inspired shirts! Great way to get the attention of others and get them asking questions!
2. Added your button to my blog! I enjoy your blog so much! It is encouraging and funny and just plain great! Thanks!

Wow! These shirts are adorable! And if I don’t have my name drawn, I want to buy them!! My four year old son is all about superheroes right now and just had a superhero birthday party. Such a fun use of imagination. His favorite superhero is Superman, and my daugher likes Wonder Woman! You are fabulous! Reposting this to FB and adding you to my blog!

I have been so excited about these shirts since you announced them. I think for Christmas we might have to get one for daddy, mama and the girls! I love how you are constantly advocating.
#4) It grieves me greatly, but I am not crafty! I feel like so many moms have crafty super-powers that lets them make amazing things to sell on behalf of the orphan, widow, stranger, oppressed, but I can’t do those things. My husband and I both have loud voices though.
I don’t know if that would count as a gift of the Lord, but we have been able to advocate on behalf of those groups, and raise funds through social media, getting involved in local as well as international orphan ministry and presenting info to others. Because our kiddos don’t look like us, we are also constantly getting questions about adoption, Africa, etc, and we pray that we can graciously answer in a way that turns their hearts towards the ONE who invented adoption!
Thanks for all you do!

I LOVE superheroes!! Really, my favorite has always been Superman. He doesn’t have the dark brooding side like Batman, or the angry whiny personality that sometimes comes out in Spiderman. Superman always does the right thing, and never hurts anyone (he usually just drops the bad guys at the police station for good ‘ol American justice). He is also strong enough to save hundreds of people at once, but takes the time to rescue a kitten in a tree. Yeah, Superman is the best.
I don’t know if I would call myself a hero, but I plan to advocate for orphans the rest of my life! I love going on Visiting Orphans trips and loving on those kids. I also love that God gave me 3 former orphans to love as my own. One day I hope to move overseas and Protect and Defend the fatherless on a full time basis. Can’t wait to see what adventures God has in store for me and my family!!!
I am soo excited about these shirts, they are my new favorite!!
Love you, Mama Kiki!!

Superman is our favorite of course… He’s adopted after all!
If I had super powers, I would definitely use them to empower women and girls around the world. I would probably have to have a cool name, but I haven’t thought of one yet. I would empower girls and women from the US to visit and share resources, love, education, and God’s word with women and girls in Ethiopia and other impoverished countries.
In the meantime…I’m working on starting a real non-profit to do the exact same thing that I just wrote about…if only there were more hours in the day. I don’t know how you find the time to do it all Kari!

I’ve always been partial to Batman. This is partly because I’m a gadget geek and partly because he didn’t have any magic super powers. He just used the resources at his disposal for good.
Now, of course, very few of us have billions of dollars to create a bat cave and various bat devices; however, it’s more about the widow’s mite than the total dollar amount. We can be a super hero in our own way by using the resources we do have. If you have a platform and you speak for the widow’s and orphans, if you have $10 extra one day and you donate it to charity, if you have some extra time and you spend it with someone that’s lonely…well….you’re a super hero!
Best,
Jessica
P.S. I really love the t-shirts. The designs are very cute.

Well..I just got back from simply loving on some sweet kiddos in Uganda! Currently, we are waiting to hear, anyday now, who new daughter will be and when we will be able to return to Uganda to bring her home to simply love on her!
In a house with 3 little boys we love all super heros…as a matter of fact we have costumes of each one so the boys can be whatever superhero they would like on any given day!!
Love the new shirts!!

Our little one LOVES Superman. That is going to be our Halloween Costume this year. He and his daddy are dying to rock out the new Simply Love shirts. Plus, we are in the middle of adopting our second son….a perfect fit for the second kids shirt. We, the Henderson family, would love to rep the Superhero shirts!
WE also grabbed your blog button!

Fictional Favorite Super Hero is Mary Poppins (practically perfect in every way). Real Life Favorite Super Hero is Bonny Ramsey (living with(NOT dying from) and being healed of cancer). The boyz’ favorite super heros are any crime fighting detectives. I would give the special super hero tee gifts to honor the heros in my life. I would give the tees away too

Our boys really like Spider-man, however my youngest son likes to make up his own superheros too. Just today he came upstairs as “Freaky Civil War Dude.” This consisted of a cape, a bandanna, and a coonskin cap with a civil war hat on top! I forgot to ask him what his special powers where. Can you tell what we’re studying in school?
We are almost finished with our home study for our first adoption.

I fell in love with these shirts right away because my son loves Spiderman (#2). Don’t ask me why though because he’s seen Spiderman once maybe and that’s it. It suits him well though. Thanks so much for the giveaway.
With Love,
Penelope

We’ve been praying several months for God’s direction in our adoption journey. He’s confirmed it’s time and we’ve just completed our application today! We would love to wear these shirts as a family (we have two girls) to announce to our family and church family how God is leading us to be his hands and feet in the world. God Bless you and others as we are God’s super heroes in the world!

You are notorious copying other people’s stuff. If not copying, you let others give you ideas that you steal for your own. Get your own ideas.

My son had a super hero birthday when he turned five, and I made him a cape with “SJ” on the back….Super J! He loves to pretend to be almost any super hero, but Spiderman has always been his favorite.
Your button has long been on my blog
. I don’t have any super-hero gifts, but I am praying that Jesus will show me more and more how to use HIS for His glory in loving, serving, and protecting the fatherless! Love you and miss you, friend!
and…I’m sad that some people feel they have to me mean.

Since I have a three-year-old boy, there is not a day that goes by without super hero talk in our house. These shirts are great!
I added your button to my blog!

1)I may be too late… but my son’s favorite super-hero would be Indiana Jones. He’s only recently discovered Spiderman and Batman.
2)I do have your button on my blog though I haven’t blogged in forever due to pregnancy and laziness.

If I had super-hero power I would get all the children out of Ugandan remand homes. We visited M2&3 and are completely heartbroken for the children there. We are organizing a large fundraiser for them in a few months & will definitely need some super strength. I can do all things through Christ! I would love to get the capital raised for them to build an orphanage!
September 26th, 2011 at 5:29 PM
I would use my super powers to make sure every child had a loving family! My kids are into Toy Story right now and Buzz is the favorite(he rescues Woody
