The gospel of Jesus Christ — the good news that through Jesus we have been adopted as sons and daughters into God’s family — means that Christians ought to be at the forefront of the adoption of orphans in North America and around the world.
Russell D. Moore does not shy away from this call in Adopted for Life, a popular-level, practical manifesto for Christians to adopt children and to help equip other Christian families to do the same. He shows that adoption is not just about couples who want children — or who want more children. It is about an entire culture within the church, a culture that sees adoption as part of the Great Commission mandate and as a sign of the gospel itself.
Moore, who adopted two boys from Russia and has spoken widely on the subject, writes for couples considering adoption, families who have adopted children, and pastors who wish to encourage adoption.

As a parent that is in the final stages of foster parenting to adopt our son, this book showed the steps of adoption that we were going thru in comparison to the steps that God takes when we become his children. Alot of thought and truths are in each page of this book. I got an extra copy to keep put up for our son to read along with any other children that we might adopt or have in the future. I recommend this book very highly and look forward to seeing all the children in the world brought not only into christian homes, but adopted into God's family.
