People regularly ask me how go about adopting a child. There are some great resources at FamilyLife.com to get you started. You can download a PDF of The Adoption Guide, which is not only very informative, but it’s also beautifully designed. The Adoption Guide acknowledges that the adoption process can be overwhelming and provides parents with tools to begin their research, whether it be for adopting internationally, domestically or via U.S. foster care.
The brochure covers common myths about adoption, explains the three basic types of adoption, and walks you through the eight major steps of adoption.
FamilyLife’s Orphans Ministry Guide teaches people how to challenge and equip others in their church to adopt and care for orphans. The guide details four steps to establishing an orphans ministry within your church. Several inspiring stories of adoptive families are included.
The site also offers two other downloadable brochures: the Hope For Orphans brochure and the "If You Were Mine" adoption workshop brochure. FamilyLife hosts one-day "If You Were Mine" adoption workshops in various parts of the country (six workshops per year).
The workshops, which average 200 attendees each, are for couples who:
- Are just starting to look into adoption
- Feel led by God to consider adoption but have not yet started the formal process
- Are currently pursuing adoption
- Are looking for practical, Biblical information about adoption
- May be interested in starting an orphans ministry at their church
This Fall, workshops will be held in Kentwood, MI, Frisco, TX, and Houston, TX.
