Dear Friends,

National adoptions in Ukraine continue to be on the rise.  Today Ukrainians are being challenged to solve the orphan crisis in their country and are facing the problem of 30,000 waiting orphans head on through adoption and foster care!

Orphan's Promise believes in the importance of placing children in families over institutional care, as we know children belong in families.  We are excited to be apart of the adoption movement in Ukraine through advocacy and partnerships with local churches and ministries.

However many families are stepping forward to adopt and are not equipped to handle the issues that come with parenting children from hard places.  With virtually no resources or counseling for adoptive parents in Ukraine, families have had nowhere to turn for help in their moments of crisis.

That is why Orphan's Promise is partnering with local ministries to provide a national conference for Ukrainian adoptive families!  In April we will host the 3rd Strengthening Families conference in Ukraine.  Through the past 2 conferences we were able to reach 200 adoptive families who are parenting over 750 children combined! 

“We had never had time with other Christian foster parents and didn’t understand the reasons behind all the issues we were having with our children. This time together was so important. We know we are not alone.  For us being here was truly a miracle.  It was like a dream coming true. There simply are not words to describe the feelings of thankfulness that we have experienced.” – Adoptive Mother

We are excited to announce that we will also be giving out our DVD resource: Adoption & Foster Rx: Solutions for Wounded Families.  This DVD series is now translated into Russian and will be gifted to all the families who attend! 

Will you consider partnering with us to make this event possible?  Your gift will enable low-income families in Ukraine to attend this once in a lifetime weekend conference where they will be encouraged and equipped.

The cost for one American family to adopt one child from Ukraine can be up to $40,000.  For that same price we will be able to host a conference that will benefit over 100 families and over 300 children!  Amazing what can be accomplished for the same price!

Thank you for partnering with us!

Blessings,

Karen Springs
