教養育方式影響領養兒童對自己的看法
張逸萍譯自﹕“How Parenting Styles Affect the Way Adopted Children Perceive Themselves” By: Dr. Andrew Rogers, November 19, 2019 (https://www.biblicalcounselingcoalition.org/2019/11/19/how-parenting-styles-affect-the-way-adopted-children-perceive-themselves/)
領養的教義(The doctrine of adoption),特別是它強調與三位一體的上帝的父子關係,有助於被領養孩子正確地看待他們的經歷。領養的教義向上帝的兒女保證,他們是上帝合法和永久的兒女。遺憾的是,大多數領養兒童對他們的領養經歷沒有從神學角度去理解。大多數可用於領養兒童及其父母的輔導,都不是從聖經的角度出發的。大多數輔導非常依賴實證研究和人們對個人經歷的解釋。這使得被領養的孩子沒有確定的資源,可以幫助他們正確思考領養經歷。

融合領養和親生子女的家庭
張逸萍譯自﹕“Blending a Family of Adopted and Biological Children”By: Steve Viars, November 20, 2019 (https://www.biblicalcounselingcoalition.org/2019/11/20/blending-a-family-of-adopted-and-biological-children/)
“揀選的教義”(doctrines of election),對其聽眾,並不常產生一致的影響。但它確實發生在我們身上。上帝揀選我們在祂裡面被領養,然後揀選我們成為一個家庭,這一事實有力地證明了祂的愛、恩典和永恆的旨意——在我們的情況下,更是如此。它還告訴我們真實身份的問題,不在血緣,而是神學。認為上帝預定我們所有人“都被領養為兒子”的想法〔中文和合本作﹕“得著兒子的名分”。〕,簡直令人難以抗拒。就好像這些真理將猶太人和外邦人聚集在一個教會中一樣,它們將我們聚集在一個家庭中。
