Free Adoption Resources

My husband and I are currently in the process of international adoption, so this is a subject which is obviously constantly on our minds.  But as Christians, it is easy for us to forget that we ourselves have been adopted.  It is also easy to forget the great price which has been paid for our adoption.  Monergism Books has put together a list of free resources on the doctrine of adoption that you might be interested in checking out.  Find downloadable pdfs, MP3s, and video links from J.I. Packer, John Piper, Justin Taylor, Ligon Duncan, and many more.  If you are a Christian, you have been adopted!
