Description

15x21cm 28 page paperback booklet

The plight of children waiting to be adopted is a challenge to the church. The Old Testament models of a broad sense of kinship and the welcome of a stranger and New Testament language about our salvation being 'adoption as sons' together assert that ties of love are stronger than ties of blood. Yet often Christians appear to deny this in their attachment to the nuclear family.

Drawing on a wide range of information and reflection, this study argues that, until we put the needs of children first in the adoption process-rather than the need to preserve cherished forms of family life-we are failing ito obey Jesus' call to welcome the child.
