Still, others believe adoption is a gift of being given the chance at a better life. We know this to be true, thanks to the Bible. All of us are adopted into God’s family when we accept Christ as our savior. It’s incredible to think we have a family of believers around the world.

James MacArthur of Hawaii Five-0 is also thankful for the way his adoptive parents raised him. He recalled, “I remember that when I was very young, she insisted on spending at least one evening a week with me. Whenever that evening came, she and I would go off to the kitchen alone. Mom would turn off all the lights, take me in her lap and tell me stories." 

He continued, "Quickly the dark room would fill up with giants and boys and good guys and bad guys and all the other things she used to tell me about.”

When James MacArthur learned he was adopted, his parents gave him the opportunity to know who his biological parents were. But James wanted nothing to do with that. He was content with the love and family God had given him. 

Here’s the question James’ father posed when people would talk about how James came to be a part of their family. “He’s been our adopted son for seventeen years. When does he stop being adopted and start being our son? Don’t these people have any heart?” His father said

That is so true. James MacArthur has been their son since the day they brought him home. Blood doesn’t make you family. Love does.
