Do we seek the best interest of the child?

If you do not see the importance of being educated about the the plight of widows and orphans in our world, read this article. I absolutely agree that adoption is not the first resort for children in need. This means, however, that we are Christians who are so evidently called to care for orphans and widows in their distress, must rethink budgets, practices, and traditions that prevent us from meeting basic needs. When there is a world that seeks to undermine everything we say and do, we can't afford to get this wrong! We can't afford to allow inhumane practices to continue under our noses. We can't afford to abide in our personal preferences and expectations. Adoption MUST be about the needs of the child - not our needs and desires and expectations, otherwise, every word in this article becomes truth!
