Adoption is always on my heart.
And yet again, Russell Moore puts into words what I would struggle to say.
”Those who see adoption as a warm, sentimental way of having a baby are mistaken and dangerous. There are far too many who plunge in without counsel, without a commitment to fidelity no matter what. They search around for a baby who fits their specifications. And babies never fit your specifications…at least not when they grow up.”
Read: Don’t Adopt!
This past summer, I read an entire book on how social workers need to be prepared to help adopting families and those who’ve been adopted. It opened my eyes to a lot more of the brokenness in pain in adoption, but made me all the more passionate about it.
oh! what’s the book? I must read this.
