Comments on: In a Perfect World, Adoption Wouldn’t Exist http://christian.adoptionblogs.com/weblogs/in-a-perfect-world-adoption-wouldn-t-exi Adoption from a Christian perspective - Topics include: religion, faith, prayer, and Christian adoptive parenting.

My adoption is probably just too recent and I have not been around the block long enough to receive such criticism. We live in a world that is far from perfect. Since our world is filled with war, AIDS, and poverty it is also filled with millions of children who need cared for. Not only has God Himself been an example to us by adopting us into His family, He describes Himself as the "Father of the Fatherless". May God grant us the capacity to reach out to the children of the world who are in need. Reading such negative feedback directed towards adoptive families surprises me.

I don't think you are that or any of those other things.<br /> <br /> Interesting - I wrote a post a year or two ago about adoption not existing in a perfect world - and got slammed for it. Go figure! <br /> <br /> Good post! Gee, “spawn of the devil”? I don’t think you are that or any of those other things.

I also have been called many of those not so kind things.<br /> "It is a picture of God’s unconditional love"<br /> The sad thing is so many wounded people of the world just cannot accept that God can and does love us, with no reason other than we are His.

“It is a picture of God’s unconditional love”
The sad thing is so many wounded people of the world just cannot accept that God can and does love us, with no reason other than we are His.

I think that shows that you have a well-rounded and realistic view. <br /> <br /> That said: <i>“God’s spirit of redemption comes by faith as we walk though our brokenness and grief and learn to accept God’s gift.”</i><br /> <br /> That's a great quote. Really. Some birth parents balk at the word "gift" as very few of us like to refer to our children as a gift to a family. But for me, that's not what it is saying. While I've posted before on where I feel God was in relation to Munchkin's placement, I do think that God has given me some strengths and gifts to make the best of the situation that cannot be changed. I think that quote right there words what I feel very well. <br /> <br /> So thanks. :) While you do talk positively about adoption, you just did a series that called out adoptive parents who break off contact.
