Adoption and Faith

To mark National Adoption Week, Aled Jones is in central London to hear inspiring stories of faith and family. He visits the UK’s oldest and longest-running children’s charity, Coram, to learn about adoption today and to discover the charity’s remarkable Christian origins.

Theologian Krish Kandiah explains how the language of being adopted into the family of God is at the heart of the Bible’s message, and Aled visits a young vicar in Kent to explore how the love of his adoptive parents overcame differences of heritage and culture.

Gemma Hunt meets former world champion javelin thrower Fatima Whitbread to hear her remarkable story of how being adopted as a teenager changed her life. With hymns and songs celebrating the love of God and the family of faith.
