It all started with 100 families

God put it on our hearts to say ‘yes’ to adopt a child from Burundi more than five years ago. The costs have been overwhelming, but we have trusted that God would provide. This grant is a tangible way for us to continue to share his goodness and faithfulness in our adoption story. Your kindness and generosity matter in the life of orphans and in the work God is doing around the world!

Receiving a Show Hope Adoption Aid grant is an absolute answer to prayer! It reminds us of God's faithfulness … that we are not on this journey alone. To know that there are donors, sponsors, and supporters who make this adoption possible fills us with such immense gratitude. And not just for us but for so many other children and families.

A Show Hope grant means that we can continue to walk through the adoption process with confidence. Adoption is often a long and lonely road of paperwork, classes, and waiting. Hearing that Show Hope was providing us with a grant not only provided financial relief but also reassured us that there are cheerleaders and champions of adoption all over.

Because of your giving, we are now ready to receive a child.

Receiving this grant means so much more to us than I think we can adequately describe. Anyone who has gone through the adoption process knows just how incredibly expensive this process can be. Thank you for being a person who cares—for having enough empathy to give to families who you don’t even know.

When we received news of this grant, we were able to celebrate and praise God together as a family, as it was another tangible reminder to our children of how God answers prayer. So not only is this grant meaningful in its financial provision, but it is also meaningful in the way God used it to answer specific prayers of our family. It is a visible reminder of God's blessing and presence with us as we walk in faith in the adoption journey.

Words cannot describe how thankful our family is to be a recipient of a Show Hope grant. We’ve already seen the Lord work in huge ways through this process!

Tears fill our eyes as we consider your generosity to resource us in our adoption journey. You show us the heart of Christ. We pray that you will be refreshed deeply with the refreshment you have shown us (Proverbs 11:25).

We want to say thank you to all of the donors and supporters for making this grant possible. Thank you for your generosity and heart for adoption. Through the waiting season we have been so blessed to be surrounded by friends and family praying for us and supporting us, we truly appreciate you being a part of our story.

Show Hope Adoption Aid grants are a tangible expression of God’s provision. Adoption is hard, and financial strain is certainly a part of that. To be able to see the Lord provide in unimaginable ways is such a faith-booster and a reminder that “he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6). We do not know the sacrifices you have made to help us obey God’s call to adopt, but we are thankful for your obedience to give.

What led us to apply for Show Hope’s Adoption Aid grant was the financial mountain that laid ahead of us. The final number on the adoption fee sheet can look intimidating and overwhelming, but we had to trust that we serve a God who always makes a way. The Show Hope Adoption Aid grant means to our family that God is faithful. When we step out in faith and obedience, he will provide every means possible to accomplish his work.

Through the adoption process, the big thing God has taught us is patience, really trusting in his plan and his timing. While it can seem hopeless, at times, in our human eyes, we know he is running the show. He is in control, even when we don’t feel like he is.

This grant means we can adopt a child or children without debt! It means our child can come into a home that is financially stable. We are unbelievably grateful that [donors] are using the gifts God has given them to help children all over the world.

With our first adoption, we had planned out exactly how we were going to pay for most of the expenses, but when God called us again, we had to step out in faith that the finances would be provided. When we received the approval letter for Show Hope, a huge burden was lifted off of us, and we knew that money would not stand in the way of bringing another precious child into our family.

Raising money for adoption is time consuming and draining. To receive such a large sum all at once showed us that the Lord does indeed provide when you walk in step with him. We are so incredibly grateful for your contributions that have allowed us to bring our daughter home. We cannot express gratitude for allowing the Lord to work through you financially to support the Church!

The financial assistance Show Hope has offered will significantly alleviate the financial burden associated with the adoption process. Show Hope’s commitment to helping families like ours has not only made our dreams more attainable but has also eased the emotional and financial strain that has accompanied our adoption journey.

God has been growing our hearts and leading us faithfully down the road of adoption, but as a couple working in education and ministry, we were worried that our finances wouldn't be able to make this hope a reality for us. When we received news that we had received a Show Hope Adoption Aid grant, we were overwhelmed with relief and joy because it meant that we would be able not only adopt, but make it happen much sooner than we had anticipated.
