What Adoptees Wish Church Communities Knew

By Jedd Medefind on March 9, 2012

Many of the seven million adult adoptees in the US wouldn’t darken the doors of a church.  Some do, but struggle with issues they dare not verbalize. What if the church were known as a place where adoptees felt truly understood about their challenges and needs?

Best-selling author Sherrie Eldridge (20 Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew) addressed these questions with empathy and biblical wisdom via the most recent Alliance webinar, speaking as both an adult adoptee and an insightful researcher. You can view the webinar presentation below or on the Alliance webinar page.
