Why interdenominational? Question for you – if a child were hanging over a cliff, and you were losing your grip, and the only people close enough to help you save the child’s life were a Methodist, a Catholic, and John Piper, would you let them help you? No denomination, and no religion is big enough to solve the problem of abortion, adoption extortion, and children being dumped into foster care. The collective churches in America can solve these problems! An adoption network will keep law offices accountable to bill their services at a fair industry standard rate. There are enough families in the church to solve all abandoned children cases in the US. There is enough money in the church to fund this mission.
I fear that an initiative like this will never gain any ground because religious men and women are too short- sighted to see that we either come together to rescue these children or continue to allow them to be thrown into foster care where many families take children for the money from the state and no other reason.
Why National?
We need these cases to be handled with care by professionals who know their state's laws. I am not for the church starting a fellowship of Christian attorneys who take on cases for free and provide substandard services because they have little or no funding in a very costly marketplace. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. And why would we not want to flood both Christian and secular law offices statewide with well-intentioned people who want to rescue children? Are we not called to bring salt to a spiritually bland landscape and light to the dark world around us? We have given up salt and light for internalized, in-focused Bible lover clubs, shunning anyone who doesn't look, sound, and act just like we do.
Gross illustration in closing: How do you “change” a baby? You have to get in there where the mess is. You have to clean up the filth. You have to apply healing and cooling ointments, and you have to clothe the child in clean garments. How on earth will we ever “change” this world if we aren't willing to get a little messy?
