Adoption

I have been asked many times why we would choose to adopt embryos when there are so many living breathing children that need families. The short and easy answer to that question is that we are doing what God asked us to do.


There are foster children living in limbo. There are children in Canada and Internationally that are waiting for a family. There are waiting embryos, frozen in space and time. The Bible says that we are to "look after orphans...in their distress" James 1:27 and to "speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves" Proverbs 31:8. I can't tell you how many embryos we will adopt or wether or not we will ever adopt a child that has already been born. I believe God sees them all the same. We will continue to seek wisdom and direction for our family.


Am I saying that People should adopt embryos instead of children already born? No. Am I saying that people should ask God if they should provide a loving family to a child that needs a home? Yes! Am I suggesting that we should redefine what we consider a normal family to include God's mandate to the church to look after orphans? Absolutely! Am I saying that one form of adoption is better than the other? No! Don't get caught up in the petty stuff! Lives can be impacted! We are talking about the kingdom of heaven here!
