“Religion
that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this:
To visit
orphans and widows in their afflictions,
And
to keep oneself unstained from the world.”
~~James
1:27
One of my dreams has always been to adopt. While the Lord
has not yet seen to bless me with this opportunity, I pray that in future He
opens the door for this dream to be fulfilled. In His Word, He admonishes us to
care for the orphans and widows. I have done a lot of research into the process
of becoming a foster parent and adoption. I want to share some of those
resources with you today.
Show Hope is a Christian organization that promotes adoption.
It was founded by Steven Curtis Chapman and his family. While they do not
provide adoption services, they do provide information and resources on the
process of adoption and the need for orphan care around the world. Visit http://www.showhope.org for more
information.
The Christian Family Services is an organization in Overland
Park, KS that helps mothers-to-be and families interested in adoption. They are
licensed in both Missouri and Kansas to aid families in the adoption
process. For more information visit http://www.cfskc.org.
