Misunderstanding Pastor Karnes I enjoyed this sermon very much. However, you are mistaken on a important part. You stated that "Natural Parents" get what they are given and "have no choice". Adoptive parents, have a choice of which child and when to make a family with this child. I know to the inexperienced eye this may seem so. I can tell you as the adoptive parent of 2 children one thing is absolutely certain. God Chooses our children and he chooses the time and we are just along for the ride. May God Bless you and keep you and your family as well as your congregation.
Respectfully,
Steve
