If we vote for them to be born, can we not hold them once they are?
The Church could be crushing this. This, this epidemic of orphans in the richest country on the globe, this long list of little ones, many of whom are on waiting lists ready to be adopted. The Church could step into this agony and provide homes and real beds and the lists would be gone and the cots unneeded.
But this is what I’ve heard:
“I could never do that.”
“I have to think about my own children.”
“It’s not the right season for me.”
“I sure wish the government funded adoptions like they do abortions.”
And that last one, that last one really gets me, every time I see the meme or hear the remark, because guess what- they do. (And even if they didn’t, when did we decide the government has to pay for our ministry? Did God say “take care of the orphans if the government pays for it”?)
