Isaiah 61. Specifically, verses one and three.  These verses are full of compassion, hope and redemption.  Adoption becomes a redemptive plan for the birthparents, the adoptive parents and the child.  What may appear to be ashes is turned to beauty through the adoption process. 

There is good news for the birthparents searching for help, good news for the couple whose family is built through adoption and good news for the child who needs a forever family.

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.  He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed... 3  To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair.
