What does the Bible say about adoption?

There is nothing quite like the love of a parent.

Even in the worst of experiences, the love, support and hug from your father or mother should have a soothing effect on your very existence.

The Willoughbys does provide a glimpse into the value of family, but at the heart of the story is the essential need for the love of parents.

This relationship can come in the form of blood relations, a blended family or through adoption and shows that no price can be put on the importance of parents in the life of a child.

Have you told your parents how much they mean to you today?

To redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. -Galatians 4: 5-7
