Does Race Matter?
I have spent some time as of late, to consider race in the role of adoption. Does race matter? Does God want us to only adopt those that look like us? I think not! The scriptures do not speak much about adoption as a physical response to orphans. It does however, speak about our adoption in Christ for those who believe.

The Fathers Heart
In our last post I spoke about the unique context of evangelism that adoption is. I did not however go into detail regarding the deep love through which that gospel outreach flows. It is our Father’s heart. God loves the family. God loves marriage. God loves His children caring for others. And He loves those who meet the needs of the needy and oppressed.

The role as parents is powerful, in that children submit and look up to them for...

Considering Adoption
My wife and I are in the process of reading Russell Moore’s book titled, “Adopted For Life.” We just finished reading the beginning sections of chapter 4 with the emphasis being, “our own children” versus adopted children. A lot of couples probably have the...
How AFC Got Started
Everything has a starting point, and a moment in which an idea was birthed to begin something. Adoption For Christ (AFC) had that moment when we were given $100 to use as a way of giving to those less fortunate than us. This $100 was given to us around CHRISTmas time, and rather than...
