35 Children & Families
More than 20 years ago, Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman dreamed of helping 100 children come home to the love of a family.
Today in 2024, nearly 8,900 children have been impacted by a Show Hope Adoption Aid grant.
The goal of Show Hope’s Adoption Aid grants is to fund 25 to 35 percent of the total costs associated with adoption.
Until recently, our grants have ranged between $6,000 and $10,000 each. To meet rising adoption costs, that range is now between $8,000 and $12,000 each.
In addition to the rising cost, Show Hope is seeing a 30 percent increase in Adoption Aid grant applications compared to last year.
As a result, we project being underfunded by more than $500,000 at our fiscal year end of June 30, 2024.
But there is hope and help with you.
The Garkse Family
"The Show Hope Adoption Aid grant means a lot to us! We have been fundraising and have been significantly aided by friends and family, but this grant provides us with much-needed funds for the many expenses. We recently learned that our time in country has been extended, meaning we will be in South Africa for several weeks without income. This grant creates a sense of peace on the financial side of things. Please know that your contributions are not taken lightly but are very much appreciated and go a long way in helping us and other families make adoption a reality."
The Obed Family
"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."
The Youngblood Family
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.
