Tomorrow, July 25th, our new Adopted & Loved website launches at noon EST!

ADOPTION IS LOVE.
Adoption is an act of love, hope, and justice. It helps restore what was broken. Radiance Foundation’s founders, Bethany and Ryan Bomberger, are adoptive parents who understand that biology isn’t the strongest bond — love is. The Radiance Foundation was birthed out of stories of adoption, from Ryan’s own experience growing up in a family of 13 children (10 of whom were adopted) to becoming an adoptive father with four children (two of whom were adopted). In our nation, there is a myth that the abortion industry promotes to justify the slaughter of innocent human life — unplanned life equals unwanted equals unloved.
It’s a lie.
And that myth is shattered every day by millions of birthparents, adoptees and adoptive families who prove there is no such thing as unwanted.
Help us share the beauty of adoption through our graphics, articles, videos, our online store, our ground-breaking books (SHE IS SHE, PRO-LIFE KIDS!, and NOT EQUAL) and our new Henry & Andrea Bomberger Adopted and Loved Fund.

My Family is the Realization of Dr. King’s Dream
Those challenging the status quo of violence and real structural racism had every reason to reject an America that continued to fail to deliver equality. But they didn’t. They overcame instead.

Bethany Christian Services: All Whites Are Racist
Bethany Christian Services proudly promotes placing vulnerable children in same-sex homes but thinks placing black and brown children in "white" homes can be "dangerous." The once-great adoption agency is now so woke and so blind.

Meant To Be: The Triumph of Life Over Rape And Abortion
How do you thank a woman for making you possible? How do you thank someone who, despite the horror of rape, chose the gift of Life and adoption for you?

I am the 1 percent used to justify 100 percent of abortions
Exploiting rape has always been the go-to for fake feminism. #Roe began as a lie about rape. Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe) was never raped & her child was not aborted, but adopted and loved instead.

Pro-abortion LGBT Groups Fight to Shut Down Faith-Based Adoption Agencies
The unborn, and our nation’s foster children, are the most vulnerable in our society. They need more compassionate child welfare providers who will help change the trajectory of their lives. They need more faith, hope and love—not less.

A TALE OF TWO MOTHERS: Andrea Bomberger and Margaret Sanger
History. It’s disposable. How often do we use it to bolster a cause and then quickly discard it when its inconvenient truths call that effort into question? Americans increasingly celebrate the courage and tenacity of women who’ve made the world a better place. We should take the opportunity to pause and intentionally look closer at the totality of these women’s lives. Understanding their motivation, what sustained their passion, and how such indelible marks along the human timeline have been made, is simply powerful.
