by Carder I would like for him to ‘man up’…. He’s made the statement. He needs to put his money where his mouth is. ~ Beverly Owings, adoptive white mother of a biracial daughter, challenging, Alabama state Rep.

by Kelli I don’t think I would have adopted my boys [Jeremy, 12, Bradley, 11; he also has a daughter Tara, 28] had I not had the illness. It humanized me, taught me not to be a jerk. It made me do things I never would have done…. It forced me to focus on things […]

by Carder I was bleeding heavily, sitting on the rug, crying. My two little ones were hiding behind a chair, crying. And it hit me: This is a domestic violence situation; if their dad had done this, I would take our children somewhere safe. Forget love. Right then, I didn’t even like J. In his short little life, […]

• Abolitionist Society exposes abortion’s role in society’s eugenic attitude toward children with special needs. But the average family choosing to abort a special needs child does so for one of two reasons unrelated to eugenics:
  

  The argument from the desire to eliminate pain…. [and] [t]he argument from the desire to preserve a personal level of living.

by Kelli But what if Jesus were to have embraced a “prochoice” worldview? What would that look like? We could kiss salvation goodbye. Adoption is at the heart of our soul’s redemption, yet a maligned consideration on the “prochoice” periphery. (Planned Parenthood aborts over 149 children for every 1 adoption referral). Half of us would […]

by Carder As a mom, it wasn’t hard to say yes. I couldn’t refuse. If we can help to try to make people more aware, try to help.  Can’t believe that some children are asking for parents for the holidays. This is like, not normal. And there’s so many foster care children. ~ Singer Celine Dion, […]

• Josh Brahm offers his advice to pro-life politicians on how to reduce their pro-life beliefs to a 30-second sound bite. This is vitally important, because abortion advocates have thus far been successful at using rape and incest cases to shut down debate:
  

  I am pro-life because we know the unborn are alive, because they’re growing. We know the unborn are human because they have human parents, and I think human beings like me and you are valuable.

  In fact, I think all human beings have an equal right to live, because they all have something special in common: they’re human. That’s why racism and sexism are wrong. Racism is wrong because it focuses on a surface difference that doesn’t morally matter and ignores the thing we all have in common, which is the thing that does morally matter: that we’re human.

  And because the unborn are clearly human, they should be given an equal right to life as well.

I’m in heaven; that’s why we chose her name Sky… She’s beautiful. We’re very happy… Open adoption is very important for us…. We will raise her with all the love we have. ~ Priscilla Devries (pictured) and Richard Dros, parents from the Netherlands who have adopted a second baby from the United States, as featured […]
