Adoption has a price!
”and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (I Corinthians 6:19-20).
Have you considered the fact that making an adoption plan comes with a price for a good and caring birthmother? Cast away any thoughts you have about a birthmother being so hard-hearted that she “gives” her baby away. She is not giving a child away, but rather is making an adoption plan that is well thought out and planned because she cares.
There is also the adoptive family side of the equation. About once or twice a year (it is rare), someone calls and asks how much it costs to adopt. I sometimes hear folks whine about the cost…the same folks who are driving a nice new car…and I have zero sympathy for them. If a child isn’t worth more than their car then they don’t deserve to have a good and honorable birthmother hero choose them anyway.
Adoption is modeled after God’s plan for his people. Is adoption okay? Well…God thought so…
