Im not trying to get into a debate and that was the only time I was ever at their church.The church the dds go to is not into Pearls or anything like that at all.Anyway,here is the link: http://www.aboverubies.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=809:a doptions-orphans-tuckers-story&catid=24&Itemid=55

This doesn't speak to the least about their views of adoption, but rather that we "should" adopt. It doesn't speak to the doctrine at all IMO. I have heard Nancy Campbell tell me to my face that my infertility is a result of my sin.
I have heard her with my ears talk about the sins of birth families being passed down into the children they have and place. I have heard her, and read over and over, about her "adopted" children vs. her bio children, and the same thing with her grandchildren.
Encouraging adoption does not mean that they don't have warped views of adoption. I know plenty of people who have incredibly sick warped ugly nasty views of adoption who adopt children.

Adoption should never, EVER, be a rescue mission, even if children are sometimes rescued.
