Today, over 130 million children have lost one or both parents, and
every 18 seconds, another child in the world becomes an orphan. In
America, 114,000 children in the foster care system are currently
waiting to be adopted, and an estimated 65,500 of those children have
been adopted by homosexual parents. These staggering statistics should
cause Christians to ask some probing questions. What would Christ’s
church look like if we acted upon James 1:27 which states that “Pure and
undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans
and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the
world”.
Why is it that the church at large doesn’t talk much about adoption?
How can the church come alongside families who have chosen to adopt? Do
adoption and missions have a common thread? This film will attempt to
answer those questions. In it you will meet some extraordinary families
who will take you on their adoption journeys. You will see how God has
worked through adoption to challenge and deepen their faith and
dependence on God alone, strengthen their family bonds, defy cultural
norms, and give them a firsthand account of God’s incredible love toward
us in adopting us into His family and calling us His children. This is a
battle against the forces of darkness. Adoption isn’t charity, it’s
war.
