The Joy of the Truth

As an adoptive family, I am fully aware of how important foster families are in the lives of the children they serve and of the foster mothers who entrust these little lives to foster care. Children who are given up for adoption face the challenge of starting life in an atmosphere of insecurity. They are seeking to bond to someone who can offer them love. Foster families can offer these children more than physical care, but also the spiritual and psychological foundation that they need. Even though these bonds are pulled apart when the child leaves the foster family (Edith talks about crying each time a baby left her care), they give the children a good start that adoptive families can then continue.

I have heard pro-abortion doctors, politicians and actors claim that they would rather offer a single, pregnant woman abortion than making them face the pain of giving their children up for adoption. These people don’t understand the healing that takes place in the lives of birth mothers when they know that their child is being loved and cared for. A good foster family can help this healing begin. Foster families like the Georges enhance the culture of life through the love they give to foster children and the hope they can give to the children’s biological parents.
