Unexpected baby #3
Well, I found out another girl, unmarried, in our congregation, is pregnant. The first one married the guy and seems to be making it ok. The second one had her baby and does not know who the father is. The most recent one knows the father, but he is unfit to be a dad and she is not in love with him. Why?! It pains me to write this. It is so sad. People today just make one bad decision after another.
We have drug heads in our church and girls who sleep around. Man, this church needs to be revived and some need to get saved!!!! Pray for us!!!

As horrible as this trend may seem, I don't think it is particularly specific to your church or this point in time. I remember in the oftly conservative church in which I grew up, they had to give up the Mother's Day tradition of recognizing the youngest mother in the service because for several years in a row it was an unwed teen. I don't particularly buy that things are much worse today than when we were growing up. Not saying that we should just accept things as they are, but I do think it is important to remember the odds of having people in your church who make the same bad decisions as the rest of the world are pretty good.

You think you have it bad. You should meet my flock.
Ouch, I guess there is always someone out there worse off than me. Actually, that applies to you too. I am amazed at people in our churches today.
As an adoption caseworker in a Christian agency in Texas. You are not the Lone Ranger. This is rampant. Sadly, they tend to parent and drag their child through the mire instead of placing it with a loving couple who can give it what they can't.
I just came back from the Orphan Summit in Fort Lauderdale and Orphan/Adoption/Foster Care ministry is DESPIRATELY needed in the CHURCH!

We have help in our state. We have the Sellers home for unwed mothers, but she has a supportive family. Something does need to be done on a local basis to help them. We have a crisis pregnancy center, but that does not apply to her. I am finding it difficult to be overjoyed at a birth when it wasn't planned in a marriage situation. Pray for us as we seek the Lord's direction here in Louisiana.
