Adoption Info

My wife and I are adoption advocates, and for many reasons. We have supported adoption efforts by others, believing that God has a special place in His heart for the fatherless (the Scriptures are full of references to those without families). We love kids, anyway. And then, as has been mentioned here before, we are adoptive parents. In fact, 5 years ago next week I had the privilege of meeting little “Artyem” in a Russian orphanage, only a month before his adoption into our family was finalized.What a special boy he has been to us!

If you are interested in adoption, here’s a link to a brief video about some of the unique challenges adoptive families face.

And here’s a book by Focus on the Family that can guide you through the adoption process.

If you have a heart for orphans and want to learn more, this Focus on the Family website has some great general info.

Finally, there’s a national conference coming up soon that is well worth your consideration. Unfortunately, I’ll miss this year’s Summit – I’ve had the privilege of attending all of the previous events. I’ll encourage you to take a step of faith and go to this outstanding conference…you’ll be touched deeply and inspired in fresh, new ways!
