America has nearly 115,000 orphaned kids in foster care waiting to be adopted. Some wonder how this is possible in a country with Christian families. Surely, there are 115,000 missional families in America, right? Missional families, for example, embrace the redemptive mission of God and practice "true religion" in their local communities (James 1:27). Missional Christians in America could eliminate the foster care system tomorrow if we would stop "shootin' up" with the American Dream (heroine) in order to get high on a lame life lived for the sake of comfort and ease.Rest the rest of this very important post.

That is a stunning and sad statistic. Unfortunately many of those kids are not fresh little babies, but teenagers fast aging out of the system. I pray that if adoption is our calling, that God will impress it upon my husband's heart.
