On the November 21, 2017 podcast of his Generations program, Kevin Swanson interviewed author Sheri McMinn and several other parents about their children that they adopted, and what they had to go through in their attempts to adopt including several homosexual couples who in the running to adopt.
Americans Abort, but Less Adopt
Adoption numbers are the lowest they’ve ever been in this generation. Where is the church on this one? Where are Christian families? What’s wrong with the system? We take a look at why the love of so many have grown cold, with a warm conversation about loving kids (even those with special needs and those without anybody else in the world to love them.)
Homeschooled himself in the 1960’s and 70’s, Kevin Swanson and his wife, Brenda, are now homeschooling their five children. Since graduating from his homeschool and then serving as student body president of a large west coast university, he has gone on to other leadership positions in corporate management, church, and other non-profits.
Earlier in April 12 of the same year, Swanson did in-depth interview with McMinn and her book Adoption Encouragement and Advice for a Hopeful Journey.
Adoption — Real Religion, Tough Religion, Christ Religion
Visiting the orphan and widow. Adoption. It’s real religion. It’s tough religion at points. But it has to be a religion filled with faith and Christ, the whole journey. Here is a realistic, down-to-earth, loving, thoughtful, informative, wise, courageous, faith-filled, hopeful look at adoption through the eyes of a mom who has walked the journey. Kevin Swanson interviews Shari McMinn, author of a new book called Adoption – Encouragement and Advice for a Hopeful Journey.
I recommend that you listen to both programs (the April 12, 2017 program starts at 11:38), because right now our government has truly made it hard for caring parents (especially Christian parents) to adopt children. I remember reading a letter to the editor from a pro-abortion advocate that not only praised China for its population control program but discouraged adoption and pointed out its difficulties. The bottom line made by this letter writer is this: You see abortion is truly best for that child, who is likely going to have a miserable life anyway. Abortion is the best loving option. Better to be sucked out of the womb, have your arms and legs ripped apart, and your delicate skull crushed then growing up in a life of misery and in an uncaring world.
This pro-abort did not say it the way like I just did, but it is implied. Trouble is too many people do believe these pro-aborts and don’t even try to help stem the tide and fight for a better child welfare state. Adoptions are in decline, and our society truly frowns on children in so many ways. We were all once children, so why hate on those who will be adults one day?
Our culture truly hates children. They are a reminder that being an adult also means that we have to be not only responsible for our finances and then some, but we have to be responsible for the next generation. There is more to life than sexual desires and telling dirty jokes that we adult think is being grown up.
