A Child's Hope - Foster, Adopt, and Support Those Who Do

The purpose of A Child's Hope ministry is to unite the Christian community to “look after orphans…in their distress” (James 1:27), facilitate successful placements where children in foster care can become part of a Christ-centered forever family, and to wrap our arms around the adoptive and foster families to help meet their immediate and long-term spiritual, emotional, and physical needs. 

  • There are over 900 children in Kansas Foster Care that are free for adoption and looking for forever homes. 
  • There is a shortage of foster and adoptive homes in Kansas City, and Resurrection families are opening their hearts and their homes.
  • The vision of a Child's Hope ministry is that there will be "No Waiting Child in Kansas Foster Care."

Supporting Foster/Adoptive Families

Not all are called to directly be a foster or adoptive parent.  But we all can be called to support those who are.  There are many opportunities to extend our love to these families, by joining the Support Team.
