Pro-Life - Pro-Adoption with Jedd Medefind & Chris Johnson
November is National Adoption Month. Adoption is one of the premier ways Christians can show how unequivocally pro-life we are, but how do we do that beyond our vote? Maybe it’s by adopting a child or by supporting those who have. There are many ways each of us can help! Chris Brooks, Jedd Medefind/CAFO, and Chris Johnson/Lifeline Children's Services will explore the options and help you find your place in the adoption process!
