Children's Home REV. DONALD E . WORCH . EXEC . DIR . e!5 S . FRANKLIN VALPARAISO, INDIANA •e383 Should All Childless Couples Have Children? Man)' adoption agencie place children giving preference to couple who do no t have children. There are many couple whon1 God ha not ble ed with children and who have a longing and des ire to rear children. We are able to apprecia te the feelings of these people. For any agency to accept a purpose of supplying all childless couples \Vith children however would be ridiculou . It i po s ible that some couple do not have children because God intended it to be that way. There are tho e who can perform their unique calling best without the incumbrance of family responsibilities. The purpose of th e Baptist Children's Home is not directed to the adopting couple but to th e chi ld. Our re pon ibility i see ing that the child i cared for in th e very be t manne r. To see that the child rece ive a Chri t-centered home is our goal. The refore whether the couple has ch ildren or no t is no t of prime importance to us . It is probabl~ though that Go.d has le~t some childles so th ey could take into their ho1:1e b.y adoption a child of His choosing. We are hap py to eek the d1rect1on of the Lo rd in placing chi ldren .
