An Apologetic for Fostering

Often the verse used about fostering and adopting is Jame 1:27. If we read the whole passage starting from verse 19, James is talking about not only hearing the Word, but also doing the Word. On a whole, true religion is, as verse 27 says, “to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world,” but in light of the previous verses, to also obey God’s Word and to walk in righteousness, to persevere in the law, to watch what we say. That last one is really hard sometimes when you see some gnarly cases in the foster system.
