Now the magazine has not yet published the article but you can see from the above picture that Bullock must love this little boy. People Magazine has quoted her as saying, "He's just perfect!" And when you look at this little boy - or if you look at a little girl - you do see the beauty of the child. To consider that God has created this child in his/her mother's womb is an exceptional miracle. However, when you consider adoption, this is when the adoptive parents are actually choosing the child to be their very own.
Now there are different types of adoption. There are public adoptions, private adoptions, kinship adoptions, stepparent adoptions, transracial adoptions and intercountry/international adoptions. The average number of adoptions in the United States right now is between 51,000 - 89,500 adoptions per year.
But there is an adoption that is far more superior than these. It is the adoption that God gives to us and we trust in Jesus Christ. It is His adoption of us. Read what the Bible says in Ephesians 1:3-6:
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing int he heavenly places in christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
Wow! Now that's adoption!
