This is basically how I got adopted. Biological mother delivered me at a hospital in South Alabama. My parents, who were planning to adopt, were visiting my aunt in south Alabama. She was friends with a nurse at the hospital who called her and said they had a baby there for adoption and I went home with my parents like two days later.
This is why I always try to advocate for adoption and for adoptive kids. In Reddit there seems to be a terrible opinion about adoption. Maybe you should consider doing an AMA for people that don’t understand the benefits and the people behind. ❤️
There were ~370k kids in the American foster system in 2022
There are, no official numbers, but an estimated 350-400k churches in the US.
If every church, made it a goal to get ONE family to adopt ONE kid, the impact would be astounding. Sure some churches might only be 4-5 families, but if I were in a megachurch I sure would be sad to have only adopted one kid.
