10,000 Reasons to Hope

Children and families impacted by Show Hope Adoption Aid grants

Dear Friends, 

You likely know this story, but at this moment in time, it is worth repeating. 

When we founded Show Hope more than 20 years ago, our dream was to see 100 children impacted by an Adoption Aid grant. That really seemed within reach—a significant milestone, for sure. And here we are today, with 10,000 children impacted by a Show Hope Adoption Aid grant—10,000 children coming to finally know the love, security, and permanency of a family! 

And you made that possible.

Those children … 10,000 reasons to hope … 10,000 reasons to believe … 10,000 reasons to praise God for His enduring love and faithfulness.  

Yet the story does not end there. We know children continue to wait, and families long to welcome them home. Our desire has long been to reduce the barriers standing between them—to go deep with them on the adoption journey. We stand ready to serve them, and we are trusting you will stand with us as you always have. 

So as we enter this season of gratitude and giving, we humbly invite you into more reasons to hope … more reasons to believe … and more reasons to praise God for His enduring love and faithfulness. 

Our words will never truly express the profound appreciation we hold for each and every one of you—for praying for us and our family and for pouring selflessly into the work of Show Hope. One day we will fully SEE the fruits of your kindness and generosity, so until then, “may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you” (1 Thessalonians 3:12).
