Adoption Uncovered

There are many Christians in the world of adoption and many of them do wonderful work supporting foster families, and foster children, and making sure children outside of the country who need homes are able to access them. Some families within Evangelical Christianity have developed adoption practices that attracted the interest of investigative journalist and author Kathryn Joyce. Her book “The Child Catchers” highlights cautionary tales of what can happen if the needs of children and first families are put aside to benefit families willing to pay money to grow their families. This interview and Kathryn’s book include many invitations to spark creative conversations about the state of international adoption a few years ago and how our efforts can be used to help children who need it get into stable homes in the future, whether that is through adoption or via another path.
