10 Ways To Care For Orphans And Foster Kids

November is National Adoption Awareness Month. This post is part a series about adoption and related issues, from my perspective.

When we hear of plight of orphans worldwide, one reaction many of us have is, “I want to go adopt one (or some) of them!” But adoption isn’t always the best solution.

Hope for Orphans, a ministry of FamilyLife, has put together a helpful list of practical ways everyone can be involved supporting orphans and children in foster care. Click here to read or download the .pdf file entitled 10 Ways Every Christian Can Care for the Orphan and Waiting Child.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans…in their distress…” (James 1:27)
