Together for Adoption is one of my favorite organizations. They not only promote horizontal adoption but also discuss how that relates to our adoption, through Jesus Christ, into the the family of God. Following is from their blog:
"Why are adoption’s joys so deep and wonderful? Because through adoption we are invited to follow Jesus, who chose to enter our brokenness and works passionately to reverse it. His redemption is gradual but unstoppable, and we’re invited to join in. A birthmother chooses to give her baby into the hands of parents who will raise him - redemption. A family decides to take the risk of embracing someone whose life has started with deprivation - redemption. A hurt child gradually moves towards trusting love - redemption. The joy of adoption is the joy of the healing of the world, brought by Jesus."
