Each boy is smiling and wearing casual sportswear. The boy in the middle has a small dark hat, and the boys on the sides are holding balloons — yellow, black, and blue.

The Bible highlights many powerful examples of children raised outside their biological families—yet they are loved and called by God for a purpose. Scripture shows us family is not just about birth, but about choice. For those considering foster care, adoption, or other forms of family care, this plan explores how God’s heart for chosen families is woven into His plan of redemption.

Throughout the Bible, we see God's heart for the orphan, as well as the significance of family. This reading plan highlights passages showing how God designed families to nurture love, faith, and belonging. As we study these Scriptures, we'll explore His plan for all children and the call to reflect His love by ensuring every child experiences the warmth and security of a family.
