Right now I know a christian couple that have been unable to have children.
They lost every child during pregnacy.
My prayers are that the adoption they are seeking will soon go through.
I could not find more kind and loving parents.
I am certain Pickles that these people you mention are fantastic people who would make great parents. Still, the method concerns me.
You are praying in this situation, and I will pray also. I will pray that the mother they get the child from isn't guilted and pressured into surrendering her child. I also will pray for them - like the women prayed in the Bible - that God would open the womb or heal the womb instead.
Prayer mixed with faith brought fire down from heaven after first stopping the rains for three years, so I trust it's effectiveness. The Bible also says that a prayer offered in faith
will make the sick person well. If God doesn't answer the prayer, it's not because His promises are broken or deficient. It's because there is a problem on our end. I know. I have a list of a thousand unanswered prayers in my lifetime. But I know that it's my fault they weren't answered, not God's.
One great example is this: Smith Wigglesworth brought his wife back from the dead, and then had to let her go when he realized it was God's will to take her home. Despite it being God's will, his faith still brought her back to life.
I know some think differantly, but consider, we all are adopted by God Our Father because of Jesus.
In fact I believe scripture says adopted.
So What would God Our Father say.
I myself have only seen joy in those that have adopted, and even in the adoptees.
I understand for those that have had sorrow in this thinking it as bad.
But attacking adoption is not the answer, forgiveness is.
The bitter heart can blame no one, but itself.
In Jesus all is made good and glorious.
In Jesus, his love heals all.
God bless, pickles
We were created by God originally, and fell into satan's kingdom by Adam's sin. God is our original Father. A comparison could be this: God being a Father whose children were given away to adoption by the Mother, and then who has to go to court to fight to get the rights over his kids. That's just an example, and I have heard of court cases somewhat similar to this.
I would liken adoption in some instances to Abraham sleeping with Hagar to obtain a child for himself. Taking his handmaid had nothing to do with faith whatsoever, it was all a fleshly solution. As well, just look at the consequences of that choice today, with the Arab/Israeli conflict!
I'm not attacking adoption as a whole Pickles, though I may have been at times early in this thread. I am attacking the necessity of most adoptions, and the crimes that exist in adoption business today.
I am also questioning whether adoption is God's solution to a closed or an unhealthy womb. I don't believe that it is.
