Does foster adoption seem complicated and confusing to you? Are you overwhelmed by birth parent visits, the revolving door of case workers, special needs, and the sensitive issue of race relations and transracial adoption? These are aspects of the foster adoption process that are often daunting and easily misunderstood. This book will change the way you look at adopting from foster care.
Let’s Tackle the Misconceptions
When we see people the way God sees them, created perfectly in his image with purpose, full of dignity and worth, it changes the way we look at foster adoption and all the broken parties involved.
It changes the way we look at race, special needs, and those with whom we seem to have nothing in common.
It changes the way we look at the tired case worker who works overtime and on weekends.
It changes the way we look at the birth parent who genuinely loves her child but doesn’t have the resources to care for him.
Adoption through foster care isn’t for everyone, but every church and every believer has an obligation to care for the fatherless (James 1:27). Of all groups in our society, Christians ought to be the most faithful to fight for these children.
Get the Right Perspective
Dignity and Worth: Seeing the Image of God in Foster Adoption breaks down common misconceptions couples face in the foster adoption process. This book will change the way you see:

– Your child’s cultural background, and how understanding it honors the image of God
– The relationship with your child’s birth parents
– The case workers who labor to keep your child safe
– Your role in caring for the fatherless when you’re not called to adopt
