my husband and i are both christians and have chosen adoption instead of having biological children, even though we are pretty sure we could. we have chosen this journey to obtaining a family because i believe it is what God has called us to do. i feel like we have more of an obligation, as christians, to care for the unwanted, unloved children of this world. isn't that what God has called us to do for all people, take care of the sick, hurt, and broken? isn't that what Jesus did during his ministry? i don't know what the church's stand is on this, but i do know God's stand point, at least in my life. so far, i have had nothing but positive support from my church through our adoption journey. and as we are getting ready to adopt our son through the state foster care, i have no convictions about our decision. hope that helps. send me a private message if you would like to know more about our story.
