Orphan Care Sunday

This morning I preached a message from Galatians 4:4-7 on adoption. The premise was two-fold. First, Adoption is a gift of grace, initiated by the Father, fulfilled through Christ, sealed by the Spirit, that brings us into the family of God as sons. Second, that spiritual picture is clearly painted on earth when families adopt orphaned children into their families. I am not sure when the sermon will go live but you should be able to listen to it within a day or so at: www.sarasotabaptist.com

Some of you inquired about some of the resources available to help those considering adoption. While there are many great resources I will simply list what I believe are some of the best that I am familiar with or have experience with.

The adoption agency that Candace and used was: America World Adoption Association: www.awaa.org

For Foster Care options I recommend checking with the Florida Baptist Children's Home: www.fbchomes.org
