How To Begin

If you are reading this page, it is quite likely that you have started on your personal adoption journey. As you begin, it is wise to study, read and ask others who have experienced adoption. A Child's Hope International, Inc. wants to provide future adoptive families with general information in order to help you assess the type of adoption which is best for you and your situation. Our goal is not to refer you to a specific adoption agency, one type of adoption or another, the country to adopt from, or even the age or gender of the child. Rather, our desire is to provide you with some basic information that will help you prepare for the journey - confident and expectant on what the Lord will show you as you travel with Him.

The best way to begin is "to begin" so please avail yourself of the following:
