On Adoption

If you have considered adoption or know friends/family members who have adopted or are in the process, I'd recommend checking out this post by Justin Taylor.  In it, he has included a video about international adoption which brought tears to my eyes.  The need is immense, and as the video points out, the system is more and more difficult to wade through... hence the name of the film: STUCK -- because so many children are stuck within the system and cannot make it out to their parents.

Also, one book that I would highly recommend on adoption is Adopted for Life by Russell Moore.  Hugh and I were able to hear him speak while we were in AR, and so we bought his book since we were interested in adoption.  Having read through most of it now, I can say that it is a very helpful resource in thinking through the connection between Christian gospel and adoption; practical tips to guide you through the adoption process; and, many personal stories about adoption.  It was very encouraging to me and definitely reaffirmed our desire to adopt in the near future.
