Adoption
Together 4 Adoption - Equip churches and educate Christians theologically about orphan care and horizontal adoption.
Positive Adoption Language - The way we talk - and the words we choose - say much about what we think and value. When we use positive adoption language, we say that adoption is a way to build a family just as birth is. Both are important, but one is not more important than the other.
