NPR (or what I call “National Propaganda Radio”)

Another example of the media bias in the mainstream media can be found in NPR’s 5/13/10 Fresh Air show. There they cite supply and demand as the main reason why so many American couples are opting at leaving their long lines here in the US and going overseas to adopt. It is true that it is due to supply and demand, that is, that demand outstrips supply here in the US. But they fail to offer an adequate explanation for why this is. The only explanation NPR gives is to suggest it is due to difficult adoption procedures. The fact is there’s something else going on for which NPR does not tell us.

The problem here in the US why the supply does not meet demand is because the vast majority of unwanted children that could be put up for adoption have been aborted.

The irony is tragic: The young female populations who can conceive children and do, but don’t want their children, are often persuaded that abortion is the best option, whereas the older female populations who are now looking to settle down and have children are finding themselves unable to conceive. Then, when they desperately look to adopt someone else’s child here in the U.S., the supply of children is low because so many unwanted children are killed by their mothers.

Loving through Adoption

If there was a ship lost at sea full of orphan babies, the world would rally together to save them. Yet, today, there are a million children around the world who live without the love of a permanent family. These children seem to have no hope, lost in a world that does not want them. But God loves them. And God has filled the hearts of couples stretching all over this country with His love for these children. One case in point, about a month ago, some friends of mine were finally able to bring home their new son from Russia after enduring many hurdles over a long 3 ½ year adoption process. There is probably no better champion of adoption than one of my heros, multi-award-winning Christian singer and song writer, Steven Curtis Chapman. Here’s a recent Focus on the Family radio broadcast were he discusses his own family’s experience with adoption. Lastly, here’s the video of he and wife – along with their children – on Larry King Live where they shared about the tragic death back last spring of their little daughter, Maria Sue. This segment will melt your heart and inspire you to trust God through your own storms of life.
