Jason Johnson, an author and adoptive father suggests,

“Christmas is the story of a good Father going to extravagant lengths to adopt those who were once separated from Him. It is the celebration of God seeing the plight of His people and responding with the greatest gift of love this world has ever known - Jesus.”

Do you want to learn more about adoption and the foster care system? Are you on the fence about fostering or adopting?

Hear from Amber Cooper, Winchester County foster and adoptive mom. Amber tells the story of what led her to adoption and foster care and shares words of encouragement for those who may be thinking about it themselves.

As the Church, we should be stirred by God’s heart for adoption. Let’s not forget that we ourselves are an adopted family of brothers and sisters! We were once estranged, but now we are adopted into God’s family. This should have pretty big implications on how we view earthly adoption. We believe each member of God’s family is called to participate. And yes, there are ways you can participate that don’t involve adopting.
