Adoption is the heart of God. I have always agreed with this thought, but I don’t think I understood it until I adopted my son. For those who have biological children and choose to adopt, the impact of adoption is no less significant than the impact on those who pursue adoption because of infertility. But I believe many of the emotional experiences are different.

Adoption has become a trending topic for many churches. I’ve loved seeing how churches of all denominations and demographics have decided to shine a light on the fact that there are millions of orphans in our country and around the world who need families.
