While many people have considered adoption, they often hold back from actively pursuing it due to false information. Some common misconceptions about adoption include:

Adoption costs too much.
Fear that a child's birth parents will get a child back after the adoption.
Emotional issues of the adopted child that I won't know how to handle.
Inability to love an adopted child as a biological child.
Hope For 100 will help prospective adoptive parents walk through all the various adoption issues including answers to difficult questions, help with selecting an agency or attorney, assistance with adoption expenses, and post-adoption ministry for the adoptive family. An excellent resource for those considering adoption is Natalie Nichols Gillespie’s handbook "Successful Adoption: A Guide for Christian Families". This book includes the personal stories of Steven Curtis Chapman, Stormie Omartian, Karen Kingsbury, Nicole C. Mullen, Senator Sam Brownback and many others.
