According to representatives from the Christian-based Nightlight Christian Adoptions and Buckner International, there has been an increase in couples seeking to adopt. In addition, the adoption service Bethany Christian Services noted a significant rise in adoptions, leaders say. And, Bethany is linking the upswing to increased Christian involvement that is being characterized as a "movement."
Recently, the Southern Baptist Pastors' Conference placed a special emphasis upon adoption and offered adoption scholarships for pastors and missionaries.
There is "no doubt" that there is a trend toward adoptions today, said Ron Stoddart, executive director for Nightlight.
New York Theological Seminary is an institution dedication to the study of religion and faith in contemporary America and globally. As part of its mission, NYTS seeks dialogue about social issues that impact society at-large.
