As we wrap up another year of God’s blessings at Lutheran Family Service, we’re excited to share a look back at some of the blog posts that captured your attention in 2025. These are the articles you read, shared, and engaged with most over the past 12 months. Many were written by our dedicated team, while others came from parents in our adoption program—each one telling a story of hope and grace. Some posts have been favorites for months, while others quickly rose to the top late in the year, so consider these rankings a fun snapshot rather than a strict scorecard. From adoption spotlights to new faces and insights on family and relationships, 2025 was full of meaningful moments. Did your favorites make the list?
