Our Adoption Grant and Loan Program is open to Christian Families who are adopting Waiting Children – older children, those with special or medical needs, and/or sibling groups. (see our Statement of Faith) Out-of-state (non-Texas) families not pursuing a child from our Waiting Children page can apply with us. Our Board reviews these applications on a casey-by-case basis, and we recommend reaching out to brittany (at) orphanministries.com before you start your application. Your family must be pursuing a child that qualifies as "waiting."
Don’t forget to check out the Texas Credit to see if you’re eligible to take advantage of $13,570 in tax credits available to adoptive families! Visit the Interactive Tax Assistant to see if you qualify.
Applications are due 2 weeks prior to Board Meetings to allow our panel time to review the applications and contact references.
2022 Application Deadlines:
- January 1
