Our Stories
What does adoption really look like? What happens on a mission trip? How does a small act of generosity change a life?
You’ll find the answers in our stories.
For more than 30 years, we’ve come alongside vulnerable children and families through international adoption, mission trips, humanitarian projects, adoption training, and family support. The work looks different from story to story, but each one gives us a glimpse of the hope, challenges, faith, and transformation that happen along the way.
Take a look inside these stories and see the impact for yourself. And if America World has been part of your story, we’d love for you to share it with us.
