b'I am adopted. From what I hear from my parents, adopting me was not an easy\\ntask! Lots of paperwork, government background checks, and other\\nmiscellaneous things\\u2014it took them many months before they could adopt.\\nAdoption takes lots of money and time. It\\u2019s definitely not a calling for\\neveryone, but when God does call people to adopt, it\\u2019s a reminder of the\\nadoption we have in Christ. As Christians, we are adopted into the family\\nof God. This adoption is much different than when earthly parents adopt a\\nchild. It\\u2019s free for us, because Jesus paid the price by dying on the\\ncross. In this adoption, there is no paperwork or money involved, and it\\u2019s\\nsimple\\u2014even a young child can be adopted into the family of God. The only\\nthing needed for our adoption is salvation, and it\\u2019s free to all who\\nbelieve that Jesus is their Savior! When we receive Christ as our Lord and\\nSavior, we are adopted as sons and daughters of God. Because we are in\\nChrist, nothing can separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39)! God\\nloved us so much that He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross and rise\\nfrom the dead so we could be His children. Praise Him for making a way for\\nus to be adopted into His family! \\u2022 Lilly Wiscaver \\u2022 Have you been adopted\\ninto God\\u2019s family by putting your trust in Jesus?
