Why do we care about adopting? It is because WE are the “unadoptable ones.” God, out of his goodness and love for us,
brought us near to Himself and adopted us as his children. “We love because He first loved us” (1 John
4:19).
This video is
an excellent look at several
different aspects of adoption. We would
encourage you to watch the whole thing (leave yourself about 35 minutes), but
if you only have a few minutes to spare, start from 23:04 and watch the last
ten minutes. That last portion articulates
the parallels between adopting a child and God’s adoption of us better that
anything we’ve come across yet.
Fun fact: The guy on stage is Jeannine’s
best-friend-from-childhood’s big brother.
Very cool to grow up and have him impact us through his story all these years later!)
