A Closer Look at the Decline in Inter-Country Adoption Numbers
February 7, 2012 17:47
It's widely know that the number of children adopted to the U.S. from other countries has been cut significantly-decreasing 59% from its high in 2004 of nearly 23,000 to under 10,000 in 2011. As discussed previously, although carrying certain positive elements, this trend ultimately means tens of thousands of children across the globe are growing [...]

January 28, 2012 23:06
Churches in South Korea, joined by Hope for Orphans, have launched a compelling initiative to champion the need of Korea's orphans for permanent families. It’s titled Voice of Love. As in many parts of the world, political pressures have caused the government of Korea to constrict inter-country adoption significantly. According to the Voice of Love [...]
Why Justice and Mercy Flow from the Gospel
January 26, 2012 08:35
The theme for Summit VIII (May 3-4 at Saddleback Church) is Justice and Mercy Flow from the Gospel. But why is Gospel the fountainhead of justice and mercy? Why not just “goodwill” or “duty” or “idealism”? On one level, because we're all made in God's image, every person holds a certain sense of justice and [...]
The Amazing Opportunity Coming in May
January 24, 2012 19:34
Registration for Summit VIII opened today. Amidst the dizzying pace of life, it suddenly struck me: this conference is going to be amazing. I can hardly wait. Sure, the work of the Alliance is my day job. And I love it. But it is my night job, too-the things I think about when I'm “off.” [...]
Karyn Purvis and Empowered to Connect
January 13, 2012 18:22
When my wife and I were going through the adoption process, getting our “Hague Hours” required watching a number of videos with Dr. Karyn Purvis. We didn’t know Karyn then, but immediately knew she was offering wisdom that’d prove vital in our adoption journey. That was certainly the case, even more than we knew, and [...]

One Family's Remarkable Journey Deeper into Orphan Care
January 2, 2012 08:53
I love hearing the extraordinary stories of how God often draws ordinary people deeper into orphan care. One came recently from a man named Les Gallagher, whom I met earlier this year at an event in Washington, DC. I asked Les if he' d write out a few paragraphs on what'd happened. Looking closely, it's [...]
As 2011 Ends, Three Amazing Affirmations of a Growing Movement
December 30, 2011 07:38
Those of us who yearn to see Christians re-earn the title, “defenders of the fatherless” have much to cheer. In July, Christianity Today described “the burgeoning orphan care movement.” And it is. From the remarkable growth of Summit to the global reach of Orphan Sunday, 2011 was another year of tremendous growth in the movement. [...]
Tony and Lauren Dungy on Giving Families to America’s Orphans
December 28, 2011 08:30
For me, Tony Dungy stands with John Wooden and a handful of others as the greatest coaches of all time. Great on the field. Great in life. And great in faith. So it was a special pleasure to see him and his wife, Lauren, talk about the need of waiting children in America and the [...]
