Consider attending an Adoption Life Group. It is a five week small group study in a host home designed to help you and your spouse to make a decision about adoption. Adoption can fell like an overwhelming process and Christians often stop because they are never able to have their questions, fears and uncertainties addressed adequately from a biblical perspective.

Adoption may raise many questions to consider:

  • How do I begin?
  • How can we afford it?
  • How will our extended family react?
  • How will it impact the children we already have?
  • Can I love an adopted child the same as a biological child?
  • And most importantly, is adoption what God wants for our lives?

If any of these questions describe your feelings about adoption you are not alone. In fact, almost all people who consider adoption ask some, if not all, of these same questions. To learn the answers to these questions plan on attending a Considering Adoption Life Group today. For more information proceed to the contact us tab in inquire about the next group.
