I highly recommend Russ Moore’s book on adoption. He writes:
“Here’s where, I think the nub of the whole issue lies. Adoption would become a priority if our churches themselves saw our brotherhood and sisterhood in our church itself rather than in our fleshly identities. For some Christians – – maybe for you – – it’s hard to imagine how an African-American could love a white Ukrainian baby, how a Haitian teenager could call Swedish parents ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad.’ Of course, that’s hard to imagine, when so many of our churches can’t even get over differences as trivial as musical style.” Russell D. Moore, Adopted for Life, page 39.
