Adoption is costly. Unfortunately, rescuing a child from poverty is not an easy task. It's costly financially and costly emotionally. But it's a price parents are willing to pay for their child(ren).
Likewise, our adoption was costly. In Ephesians Paul says, "God decided in advance to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This is what He wanted to do, and it gave Him great pleasure." (Ephesians 1:6 NLT)
The price for our adoptions? Christ's death on the cross. Yet our Heavenly Father (and His Son) were willing to pay that price. More than willing.
For us.

Yay adoption! I love how SCC describes our adoption with God. In fact, he inspired me to sponsor "a child" from Show Hope. It's a little different from World Vision or Compassion, but I'm glad to support an adoption cause until I can actually adopt a child of my own someday!
Thanks for the post!
