Christian adoption agencies provide the resources necessary to answer questions and provide detailed instructions on how to adopt a child. Parents who adopt are considered the legal guardians for the child but in order for the process to be legal it must go through the court system before a judge. Christian adoption services help a single person or a couple to understand what is needed to become a legal guardian of a child including the costs that are involved. The court will not make a determination toward the petition unless there is evidence that the birth parent or parents have relinquished their legal rights to the child. Part of the process includes counseling and educating the parents to be. A petition to adopt is presented to the court and the judge will determine from all testimonies and documents whether to approve the petition or deny it. "When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgotten a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands" (Deuteronomy 24:19). The Word of God says that helping the fatherless (orphans) is commendable.
A petition to adopt will usually involve an evaluation by the case worker from the agency, reports about counseling and education of the parents to be, and any other pertinent documentation. Christian adoption agencies work with the petitioner in an effort to make sure that they are emotionally and financially stable while helping them to understand all the legalities involved with the procedure. The petitioners need to understand that once the petition is approved by the court there is no changing their mind. They need to be certain that they are ready to take on all of the responsibilities that entail becoming a parent.
Open adoptions are where the adoptive parents and the birth parents have openness between them and where the child knows the situation. This type of situation helps the child to understand more about what is going on and why. With the open concept some parents who have given up their right to be a legal guardian choose who the child's new parents are going to be. Christian adoption services serve as the agency or liaison over this type of procedure. Many Christian agencies are founded upon Biblical principles to answer the call from God to take care of the fatherless. "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world" (James 1:27).
Single parent adoptions are possible but are a little harder to complete than couples who petition. Some sources claim that single parent adoptions overall have fewer problems after the petition is approved and view the process as very positive. The best way to begin proceedings is to research Christian adoption agencies and go with one that has experience with single parent petitions. Most States require that the petitioner be at least 18 years of age with no alcohol or drug abuse problems. In addition, the petitioner must be able to pass a criminal background check, and to show that he or she can financially take care of a child.
The costs of a petition to adopt can be very pricey. Many people are involved in the process especially through Christian adoption agencies and other nonprofit agencies that provide the many resources necessary for adoption to be successful. An organization that does International adoptions has travel costs that can be tremendous. In addition, many of these organizations provide food and shelter for the children that do not have any other place to go. There are also court costs and attorney fees to pay with any petition to the court. The time, personnel, professional skills, documentation, legal fees, and travel can all add up. For people who need assistance in paying the costs for the process there are some financial institutions that offer low interest loans and some organizations that offer assistance. In addition, there are state and federal tax credits for children who have special needs.
Organizations that offer assistance can be found on the Internet by doing a search for Christian adoption services. Some companies use donated money to help with the cost of abortion. Others offer low interest loans and grant money to help those who have a real desire to adopt a child. Many nonprofit organizations provide all types of services and resources to help the petitioners who want to adopt but do not have resources to do so. Many Christian companies that help petitioners do so to fulfill the call from the Lord to help the fatherless. "Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy" (Psalm 82:3).
Christian adoption services are basically working to bring the family and child together. The child will have the security of a positive home environment and people who love him or her. A family that functions positively is one that takes the responsibilities of having children very seriously. This can be done by teaching them right from wrong and providing support and resources so they can grow into responsible members of society.
For mothers who are searching for the right family to place their little one with, there are Christian adoption agencies that have families who have applied for a child and are awaiting that little addition to their family through prayerful and thoughtful hope. The beginning process is usually making an appointment and talking with a counselor. A counselor or case manager will be able to answer all questions and concerns. In addition, someone will be there to help through the entire process. Mothers who are torn and do not know what to do, should place their faith and trust in God. There are many other options that can be found by doing a little research and making some phone calls to the right people.
