And let us allow homosexuals into the Boy Scouts as Scoutmasters.

What could go wrong?

Can you say bankruptcy from sexual assault cases?

My late wife and I adopted three kids. Because of the law here in Utah that gives bio parents visitation while they are still in foster care, these kids, who should have been ripped away from their bios permanently maintain a connection. After I remarried, one of my daughters ran away with her boyfriend at the urging of the bios, then the daughter later hatched a murder plot against my wife and I that we discovered. After years of therapy, she and her brother who we also adopted are back with bios. The other kids left home and barely speak to us. One I haven’t heard from in years. My wife and I are heartbroken and bitter. No thanks. Been there, done that.

I’m familiar with where you are and what you do my friend.
However It takes a lot more energy to hate than to love bro. I should know.

Its what I am called to do, so I try the best I can.

There are many couples who would like to adopt, but the process is so difficult and the number of available children is low.

The author’s youngest is adopted from China? Is she not being hypocritical in not adopting an American child instead of allowing the child to go to a gay couple?
Many of the Christians I know have adopted children, I can show you 10 children adopted by just 4 families in our church alone, and no, the children are not the same race as their parents, and yes, they all have physical challenges of some sort.

If people who have no business bringing children in to the world would either keep it in their pants, or out of their pants, whichever the case may be, this, along with abortion and social welfare programs would not be as big of issues as they are in our society.

We should make Adoption easier than Abortion.

The reason so many people have to adopt from overseas is that it is made difficult in the US if you are not politically connected.

‘But unless you’re talking about the years-long wait for white, drug-free infants (many of whom would be better served if we supported the birth mother in parenting her own child),’

Yeah, almost none of them would be better served to be kept with their birth mother.

Adoption is no better than fostering. Orphanages are the best alternative.

Adoption agencies that fail to prioritize mothers and fathers in child placements are bowing to social pressure, not the best interests of children.

I don’t think the author is right about this. These adoption agencies are selling out for FINANCIAL reasons — because they want to get paid by government agencies for their adoption services.

Christians should focus on staying the hell away from Caesar as much as possible when it comes to practicing their faith.

Yeah right, God wants ABOMINATIONS to adopt children.

But heh, its the 2000s.

Makes me wonder if they would place a child with two people who are just very good friends? Of either sex.

Or how about three people who are very good friends?

Or a throuple?

Or a household where 6 people of different sexes live, some or all having sexual relations with each other?

Or with a single man, ...or single woman?

Is there some kind of limit to the child placement universe?

We have adopted and raised two children. Many people in my church have adopted children.

Most people simply don’t have the financial wherewithal to be able to afford to adopt. It should not cost ANYTHING to adopt.

......................................................

Cost is on a sliding scale, based on income at the Illinois Baptist Children’s Home. Other but not all states have B.C.H.s. Non Christians need not apply. Neither do they adopt to homosexuals.

They can adhere to these policies because they are depending on the generosity of Christian donors of all denominations. They have never accepted one cent from any government and never will.

Babies are in short supply everywhere because of the murderous planned parenthood. Older children are more available. That 8 or 9 year old orphan needs love too.

You’re too old to adopt?? (Not you necessarily Cuban Leaf). I was 63 years old and my late wife was 56 when we adopted, 8 year old boy and 9 year old girl (siblings) Best family decision we ever made. May not sound so bright as our 4 children were already grown. Lots of love and zero regrets, And by the grace of the living God, here we are.

Did you have you own biological kids, too? Were they the ones that “barely speak”?
I’m sorry for your heart break.

Yes I do and my bio kids are very loving and part of our lives again. They moved out of state years ago to live around their bio mom who I divorced in 1995. They are stable and have their own families. We zoom chat every week and we’re headed out to visit them this summer. The kids we adopted from foster care were so damaged that they went back to the same convict parents that had them. It is a perpetual cycle that I think can only be broken by taking these kids completely out of the influence of the bio parents, but for some reason our state doesn’t see it that way.

For those conservatives or Christians who think children should not be placed with single or same-sex foster or adoptive parents, your first order of business is to become a foster parent or adoptive parent yourself.

You do realize, (a) many did, and (b) many are now forbidden from doing so by the state.

Or are you a stupid bigot as well as a propagandist for sodomites?
