In this episode, special guests Ryan and Meghan McGaughey share their journey through the foster-to-adopt process, the challenges and rewards they’ve faced along the way, and an exciting new ministry coming to Abundant Life. James 1:27 says, “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” Adoption is a calling and another way to share the love of Jesus. If you feel led toward this calling, the McGaugheys encourage you to pray about this choice constantly, connect with others in the adoption community, and learn about the process as much as you can. Bringing new children home can present many unexpected challenges. Some of these children have faced trauma and do not trust adults. Your relationship with your spouse and other children may be stretched as well. Finding a Christian licensed counselor can be a valuable resource to help with this transition. Are you considering adoption or looking for more support? Abundant Life has exciting plans to launch a foster/adopt ministry soon. Visit the Abundant Life website to sign up for the upcoming interest meeting on November 20th, at 1:00pm.
