There is legal red tape in both adoptions, but one is soaked in the blood of Christ.
This is not plan B. Ephesians 1 says
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
(Ephesians 1:3-10 ESV)
before sin entered the world he chose to adopt us. This wasn't an afterthought. Our boys our chosen for us on the other side of the world. We are not plan B for them, we are God's plan for them...they are God's plan for us.
