General Adoption Information
The adoption process can be very confusing, with hundreds of adoption agencies to choose from, and dozens of countries from which to adopt. Many times, families will try to adopt a child, only to be stymied by the hundreds of choices available to them. Or worse, families might inadvertently work with a non-reputable adoption agency that costs them not only money and time, but also their hope.
Loving Shepherd’s adoption services cater to those families navigating these choppy waters. Using resources not available to the general public, we can more adequately determine the effectiveness, integrity and financial stability of adoption agencies, and we have the staff and expertise to do the thorough background checks that most families do not have the time to do.
We at the Red Letters Campaign (RLC) believe that YOU have the power to reduce extreme poverty, fight preventable disease and connect orphans with loving families. Our mission is to provide you the tools and a network of partners and like-minded people that enable you to be an active part of the solution - the way you want to participate.
RLC is a different kind of non-profit designed to support you in your passions - not the other way around. Whether your passion focuses on the HIV epidemic in Africa, providing safe drinking water to Central America or finding homes for children without families in India, we can connect you to people and resources that help you make a difference in the way that you desire.
Whether you’ve just recently become aware of the challenges faced by the orphaned, widowed and extreme poor or have already rolled up your sleeves and joined the front line, the Red Letters Campaign will connect you with the people and resources you need to turn passion into action.
Financing Adoption
The Abba Fund provides interest-free covenant loans to Christian couples who are called by God to expand their families through adoption and who ned help with the "cash flow crunch" posed by adoption expenses.
Adoption is our ultimate goal in caring for orphan children as it enables them to become a part of God's perfect plan…a family. While many Christian couples have the desire and resources to care for a child, initial costs keep many from following God's call to adopt.
LifeSong helps remove this financial roadblock by offering matching grants which encourage the adopting couple's church family to financially and prayerfully support the adoption.
We invite you to experience the miracle of adoption, opening your heart and home to a child in need of a permanent home and a loving family. Whether a child has become an orphan as a result of abandonment or parental loss, right now, millions of children are dreaming of a haven called home.
