Why did god have to choose me to be adopted?

God did not choose you to be adopted. Your birth mother did.  Your birth mother did the most unselfish act by giving you to a person that she thought would be better for you than her.  It is too bad that your adopted mother didn't have disciplinary  skills.  Hitting a child only promotes hitting.  Don't get me wrong a light spank on the bottom when children are to young to reason with is OK.

She needed Adam from whom she came through God's creation. See Answers in Genesis.

IN the bible you learn that God is the creator of us. Due to that, NO ONE should take the life of an infant. EVEN WHEN THE STILL ARENT BORN. ITs somehting created from god. Do you want to take something from hiM? Well. by doing that, thats exactly what ur doing.

it's all just some stupid ploy. why would you want to change anyway? God made you the way He did and you should stay that way. i'm sure it'll satisfy.

God has always wanted humanity to live in His heart, but humanity chooses to live in the mind of the beast instead. \n\nHumanity chooses worldly powers..which leads to wrongful action (sin) over God, and justifies it by saying 'This is the way I was created so I can't change.' Our society is living proof of this lie.

His mother died when he was quite young.  He was raised by another family until he was 13; after that, the local archbishop became his legal guardian until he became an adult.  That's probably why.\n\nHe is the patron saint of (among other people/things) adopted children.  \n\nBy the way, I had a baby at age 17 who I placed for adoption.  God bless you on your decision to adopt.

Because free will is all about choices. God know before a person chooses but HE doesnt choose for that person...its up to the person...People are finite, GOD IS INFINITE. That's what makes HIM GOD!!! And if you dont get it...be not dismayed...neither do I...but I believe and have faith in HIM who created heaven and earth.  He wants our love and He wants us to choose HIM...ptl

Im 16. I was adopted when i was 4. My parents didn't tell me that i was adopted until i was 13. (almost 14) I felt abandoned, sad and confused because my biological mother didn't want me. I was depressed for awhile. But my parents explained to me that they loved me and that my biological mother loved me too, she just wanted to give me something better. (she was a druggie and was always out partying...) My parents also explained to me that they chose to take me, and that meant the world to me. They chose me, and they didn't have to. Now, i feel a little better about it. I talked to my biological mother for 3 years before i finally got what i needed out of her, reassurance that giving me up was for the better. So, if you plan on adopting a child, make sure that if you're going to tell them that you don't wait unti lthey're 16 or older (it hurts worse....) and make sure to explain to them that you chose them and that being with you is for the better for them. that's what helped me a lot. And just be there for them. If they want to find they're real parents, i would let them. Because it gives them reassurance and peace.

you know...this problem is so deeply rooted in our society (etc:you have to look a certain way be a certain way )and ,unless you love yourself enough not to care what their opinion is of what God gave you, you will spend the balance of your life trying to figure out who or what you should be to whom.  I'ts hard ,I fall into that trap a lot  I HAVE TO REMEMBER who i really am. a very unique child of God,  God bless.

My birth mother found me, but it took years.  She knew only my Adopted last name and the religion of my parents.  she researched painstakingly through computer phone books.  Since then(98) I have helped others.  No money required.  Contact me, and give me what info you do have.  I can help.

Without faith in God, you can never find out.  After all, in order to answer your question, you need to acknowledge that someone did put you here.  Under that premise, you are put here to live your life in a Spirit filled way, love one another and to draw others to God.  Beyond that, God has placed certain interests and talents into each person and you need to determine what those are and follow through with them.  Otherwise, you should read the Bible and pray to God as to what He wants you to do.

Being a person that was recently saved, I think it is more an ego thing than anything.  People want to be their own God, or in control of their own lives, etc.  WHen you finally realise that He exists, and let Him into yoru heart, that ego goes away.  It's just hard to give it up in the first place.

FATEHER AND SON - GOD GAVE US THE AUTHORITY TO BE HIS CHILDREN. THAT IS IF YOU ACCEPT THIS TRUTH AND TRUST IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST - HE IS FATHER AND WE ARE CHILDREN - SOME CHILDREN HAVE GONE STRAY AND FATHER IS WAITING FOR THEIR RETURN. YOU CAN HAVE  A GREAT CONNECTION WITH GOD TOO

Love is the natural choice. It requires an honest appraisal of our purposes and whether we are doing God's will.\n\nHate may be easier for some, though everyone was created to long for love.

I chose my faith. My parents and I were not believers while I grew up. But, my mom got hired as a secretary at a church. I began attending the youth group at the church and was the first person in my family to accept Jesus. Then my mom. Then my dad. No one forced me; I decided on my own. Not only that but I have since researched my faith, and spent 4 years of college studying my faith further; now I am the youth director for my church. :) Good question!

You are supposed to choose people you believe will raise them the way you would want them raised if you weren't there, It doesn't matter if they are single or married, but most churches prefer someone of the same religion

I am adopted, possibly from a rape.  I agree that it violates the mom's rights, and could torment the child from this sort of situation.  I am grateful she gave me up to a family that does love me. I am sorry for what she went through, and once I found out about it, I stopped any further searching for other family.  There are families out there who want children and cannot have them.  Adoption is a great answer, not abortion.  Sorry, my opinion.  I  am glad I was not sucked down a sink!
