Start an Adoption Ministry

If you would like to start a Adoption and Orphan Care Ministry at your church we would suggest several steps.

Go to Family Lifes's Hope for Orphans web site and print their guide to starting a ministry. You can find them at www.familylife.com/hopeforphans . This gives a great overview and a step by step guide to starting an Adoption adn Orphan Care Ministry.

Go to Stephen Curtis Chapman's Adoption website named after his first adopted daughter www.shaohannahshope.org . This site also has great material on starting a ministry and also how to develop an adoption support fund to help people overcome the costs involved in adoption.

Lastly reach out to an existing ministry and discuss your plans and ideas. Other ministries experiences might help to guide your own decisions. Encouragement from someone that is already running an active ministry is very helpful.
