Only a pentecostal Protestant can ask such question. The Bible is merely a guide and not a manual. The bible cannot contain everything. The Bible has made you see the importance of service and kindness. Yet you look for literal provision for adoption. Op, for your information, the bible never told you to eat rice, so if you have ever eaten rice, you have sinned and you will go to hell. Literal joking Protestants. Smh! |

What does the Bible say about adoption? Giving children up for adoption can be a loving alternative for parents who may, for various reasons, be unable to care for their own children. It can also be an answer to prayer for many couples who have not been able to have children of their own. Adoption is, for some, a calling to multiply their impact as parents by expanding their family with children who are not their own, biologically. Adoption is spoken of favorably throughout Scripture. The book of Exodus tells the story of a Hebrew woman named Jochebed who bore a son during a time when Pharaoh had ordered all Hebrew male infants to be put to death (Exodus 1:15-22). Jochebed took a basket, waterproofed it, and placed the baby in the river in the basket among the reeds. One of Pharaoh’s daughters spotted the basket and retrieved the child. She eventually adopted him into the royal family and gave him the name Moses. He went on to become a faithful and blessed servant of God (Exodus 2:1-10). In the book of Esther, a beautiful girl named Esther, who was adopted by her cousin after her parents' death, became a queen, and God used her to bring deliverance to the Jewish people. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ was conceived through the Holy Spirit instead of through the seed of a man (Matthew 1:18). He was "adopted" and raised by His mother's husband, Joseph, who took Jesus as his own child. Once we give our hearts to Christ, believing and trusting in Him alone for salvation, God says we become part of His family"not through the natural process of human conception, but through adoption. "For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship [adoption]. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father"" (Romans 8:15). Similarly, bringing a person into a family by means of adoption is done by choice and out of love. "His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave Him great pleasure" (Ephesians 1:5). As God adopts those who receive Christ as Savior into His spiritual family, so should we all prayerfully consider adopting children into our own physical families. Clearly adoption"both in the physical sense and in the spiritual sense"is shown in a favorable light in Scripture. Both those who adopt and those who are adopted are receiving a tremendous blessing, a privilege exemplified by our adoption into God's family. Curled from GotQuestion 1 Like 1 Share |

There is this guy that was asking me out and I was already considering to give it a try but then one day the issue of adoption came up and he was so against it. He even said God forbid and how adopted kids may not take care of the people who adopted them and all that. And from that moment, I cancelled anything thought of accepting him. I asked him what if his patents adopted him, what if he was stolen from someone in the hospital, what if his mother got pregnant for another man and his present father adopted his just like Joseph adopted Jesus? So if he has a relationship of a friend that has been married for 15yrs he won't advice them to adopt? We see biological children ignore and disrespect their parents and even kill them. People give birth to 3kids and feel they have enough money to feed more mouths and they adopt 2 or 3 more and take care of them. Is it not better than giving the money to a man of God to acquire property with? |

Is the question for pastors only? Adoption even not expressly stated in the bible falls under the charity we are told to practice I.e KJV. Some adopted children have better lives than their biological counterparts e.g Zenon and Keke Ighodalo, Joke Silvia.... if a couple wants to give it a trial, why not. Must a Pastor tell us what their perception is which may not be proven by the word. We have full access to the father and need no priest anymore since christ. Careful study of the word will answer your question better. 1 Like |

Firstandonly: Galatians 4:4-5: But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Romans 8:15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" Adoption of children is the core of the gospel of Christ. It is the foundation to which the Christian finds comfort in the adoption of children because God has adopted us as His children. Adoption involves giving children legal status; which God has done for us, and given us the right of dignity in sonship; how wonderful would it be to give a child, who has no knowledge of mother and father, joy and dignity and a face in the eyes of the law of the land? Since He adopted us, His righteous love should encourage us to adopt children who are not initially ours. 1 Like |
