ABCs for National Adoption Month: A is for Adoption

This is National Adoption Month, so in the spirit of the occasion, we're responding to the r house's challenge to post something each day about adoption. We chose to do an Adoption ABC (plus 4) to celebrate!

A is for Adoption

Every one of us is touched by adoption, whether we know someone who is or has adopted, are a child of adopted parents, are a parent of an adopted child or children, or are a disciple of Jesus Christ. As members of the Church, through adoption we become eligible to become the children of Christ and the seed of Abraham as children of the covenant. Jesus Himself was adopted by Joseph, and Joseph and Emma Smith were adoptive parents. Adoption is a blessing that affects us all!
