Adoption Questions

October 14, 2007

Lots of people have been asking a lot of questions like "Why don't you have your own kid again?" Well, we feel that we don't have to biologically have children in order to love them, or to be our "OWN". Bio or adopted they will just be OUR kids, and why not open our hearts to adoption because I believe WE all have been adopted. God first adopted us, through Christ His son we are adopted and joint heirs in the kingdom of salvation.

"Having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise and glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved." Ephesians 1:5-6 (NKJV)

"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness to our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together." Romans 8:14-17 (NKJV)

"Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world." James 1:27 (NKJV)

Why we don't adopt from here (Here being the United States) because there are lots of children here? There are alot of children here, AND there are SO many more everywhere else. And since I don't look at all of us as separate to me there is NO difference between a child in Asia, Africa, the U.S. or Spain - a child is a child no matter where they are from and they all need love regardless! Besides that we feel that we are being led to ASIA. (See blog on adoption update.)
