Bringing Gospel Hope to Vulnerable Children through Global Orphan Care
What About the Vulnerable Who Will Never See Adoption?
While adoption is a beautiful response to God’s command to care for the fatherless, the large majority of children considered orphans will never be adopted.
Various factors like age, special needs, and life and country circumstances often cause children to remain vulnerable. These children face vulnerability to sexual exploitation, drug abuse, and slavery. Many end up unprepared for adulthood and have no knowledge of a Heavenly Father who loves them.

You Can Help Provide Them With Gospel Hope
In 2009, (un)adopted ® was born with the vision to reach children labeled as “unadoptable” with the hope of the gospel.
This work takes shape through equipping caregivers with the knowledge of holistic care, providing children with job and life skills training, and serving alongside the local church already ministering to the vulnerable in their area.
James 1:27 Is a Call to Care for the Vulnerable
Let us help you find ways to use your time, talents, and resources to take gospel hope to those in need around the world.
