God chose adoption as the means to rescue Moses. For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will. Ephesians 1:4-5 We all approach adoption with some sort of bias, and it’s important to recognize what your bias is. Adoption needs to be talked about often in the work of the pregnancy help organization, as well as in staff training settings. The post-Roe world has changed the adoption conversation Having a conversation about adoption with a client can empower her to look into all of her options instead of focusing only on parenting or abortion. It opens up new opportunities for her.   Sponsored by Heartbeat International’s Annual Conference Heartbeat International provides a forum to express a marketplace of ideas for an audience of life-affirming pregnancy help organizations and those who support such organizations.  The ideas, views and opinions expressed in this presentation are those of the presenter and may or may not reflect advice, opinions, policies or views of Heartbeat International, Inc.
