This article in the Online Wall Street Journal mentions a new book by

“Russell Moore, the dean of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., is the author of a forthcoming book called “Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches.” A few years ago, Mr. Moore and his wife adopted two boys from Russia, and he notes that his church has posted a large map showing which countries member families have adopted children from. “In any given church,” he notes, “you rarely see only one family who has adopted. . . . It becomes part of the culture of the congregation.”

And there’s a shift in adoption debate…

Kelly Rosati, who oversees Focus on the Family’s adoption and orphan-care division and is the mother of four adopted children, states, “The traditional way of viewing adoption was something you considered if you were facing infertility.” You could call it God’s Plan B for the Couple. But now, according to Ms. Rosati, “the commitment to adoption is part of a holistic sanctity-of-human-life ethic.”

And the article also mentions John McCain and his advocacy of adopting children.  An interesting read and an issue to ponder, especially for the Christian, who has been also been adopted.
