Adoption - Day 5

An Open Door

The reason we chose the agency we did is because of this statement they have listed in their information packet. It moves me. I have such a hatred for abortion and a passion to save unborn children that I feel compelled to move forward with an adoption agency that abhors abortion, too.

"We are concerned for the lives of all children, regardless of race, and are among the few agencies who place minority children. Few Southeastern families are waiting to adopt these children, and placement fees in distant states fall far short of the cost of services. Yes, we could reduce the cost of our adoption services if we offered services in only a few major cities. But, here in Georgia, no other agency reaches every small town or the many minority birth mothers who are turned away by other agencies. If we regarded adoptive parents as our primary client, we would eliminate these services and offer lower fees. However, our mission is to save the lives of children and change the lives of their young mothers."

Now that's what I call divine purpose.
