Both adoption and fostering a child are amazing acts of kindness that can change the lives of the child and adoptive or foster family. Here are some of the inspiring series and movies about adoption and foster care streaming on Great American Pure Flix.
Family Movies about Adoption
Movies about adoption can be heart-warming and inspiring. Many of the adoptive parents and families in these movies about adoption keep God's word at the center of their family life. Bible verses about adoption, such as James 1:27 (NIV) comes to mind:
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. -- James 1:27 (NIV)
Movies about adoption can uplift us and help us to realize the goodness of choosing life by adopting. The selfess act of choosing to take care of all of God's children through adoption and foster care is rooted in scripture. Just think of how God adopted each and every one of us as His own sons and daugthers!

Family Movies about Foster Care
Movies about foster care also show the importance of taking care of all of God's children. Biblical roots of foster care can be found throughout scripture, including this Bible verse about foster care:
The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ -- Matthew 25:40 (NIV)
Giving a child shelter for a time when they're in need is indeed doing an act for "the least of these brothers and sisters of mine." Fostering a child can feel like a big undertaking, but knowing you are being the hands and feet of Jesus and sheltering His people can help make the burden easier.
