We want to encourage more adoptions because this is a way we can care for orphans (James 1:27) and give more children the chance to be raised in the training of the Lord. To help make it possible for Christian couples to adopt, we would like to assist in paying the associated costs which can be prohibitive or a discouraging obstacle.

Because God designed the family and for children to need both a father and mother, we seek to promote two-parent adoptions. However, a single parent’s application will be considered based on exceptional circumstances.

These funds will go directly to families within Southpoint Church as first priority and to other Christians in the Downriver region who meet our requirements.

Requirements for Couples:

Must be a husband and wife married for at least 1 year. The time requirement is to establish marital stability and prevent hasty decisions.
Must be “evangelical” Christians, that is, born again (saved by grace through faith in Christ alone, immersed into Christ) and accepting the Bible’s authority, holding to sound doctrine and holy living. The historic Apostles’ Creed is the basis of such a faith statement.
Must be involved in a local “evangelical” church for at least 1 year. This establishes a stable spiritual home.

Grants will vary in amount based on family need, current stage in the adoption process, and current balance in the Adoption Fund. The minimum amount awarded will be $1,000, with a maximum amount of $10,000. No need to show financial need is required. However, preference with limited funds will be given to those with financial need. We do not pay directly to the applicants but to the agency.
