What Is a Faith-Based Adoption Agency?

Serving Children and Families Through a Christ-Centered Mission

A faith-based adoption agency exists to carry out God’s heart for children and families through the ministry of adoption.

America World believes adoption is more than a legal process. It is a calling and a reflection of the Gospel. As a faith-based organization, America World is guided by biblical truth, grounded in prayer, and committed to serving children and families with Christ-centered love and integrity. Our work is motivated by the belief that God places the lonely into families and invites His people to care for orphans and vulnerable children.

Practically, this means we uphold the highest professional and ethical standards while also offering spiritual support, encouragement, and community throughout the adoption journey. Our families are not just clients; they are partners in a shared mission to glorify God by building families and providing loving, permanent homes for children in need. In addition, our entire team believes in America World's mission and feels called to serve orphans and families.

Is a Faith-Based Adoption Agency Right for You?

Determining whether a faith-based adoption agency is the right fit begins with honestly reflecting on your own beliefs, values, and calling. If your Christian faith plays a central role in your life decisions and you desire an adoption journey grounded in prayer, biblical truth, and a shared dependence on God, a faith-based agency may feel like a natural fit.

Questions to Ask Yourself:

  • Does my faith influence how I make major life decisions, including my approach to adoption?

  • Do I view adoption not just as a process but as a calling or ministry that God may be inviting our family into?

  • Am I comfortable working with an agency whose mission and policies are grounded in biblical truth and a statement of faith?

  • Do I desire prayer, spiritual encouragement, and faith-centered guidance as part of my adoption journey?

  • Do I believe it’s important to raise my children in a way that faith and discipleship are part of family life?

  • Does this agency’s mission, values, and approach to caring for children align with my convictions and vision for family?

  • Do I feel peace and clarity when I consider moving forward with a Christ-centered adoption ministry?
