The adoption process is not easy, but it is more than worth it. All God’s Children International is a resource to adoptive parents looking to adopt internationally. Our agency bridges the gap between adoptive families and their future children.

International adoption is one of the most powerful ways you can be a trauma disruptor for a child whose possible future hangs on a willing and prepared adoptive family.

We believe in a God who will go before you, prepare you, and equip you for this journey. He won’t leave your side during this process. Neither will we. We will walk every step of this journey with you.

If you have a heart for orphaned children, know that international adoption is an invitation not just to expand your family but to step into a ministry of healing. It is a commitment to be fierce guardians of hope for a child whose heart bears the weight of trauma.

  • AGCI's adoption programs typically range from $25,000 to $45,000. But finances should never be a barrier to answering the call to adopt. We offer grants, payment plans, and work with families securing adoption grants from churches and adoption granting organications. Families may also be eligible for Federal Adoption tax credits.

    Remember, where there's a willingness to embrace a child, there's a way, and we have numerous stories of providence and support for adoptive families. Plus, we're here to support you every step of the way with a dedicated adoption team.

  • Adoption timelines can vary greatly, influenced by the country of origin and a family's openness to factors such as age, gender, and special needs. But don't be discouraged; every moment spent is a step closer to being the family God has planned for a child in need.

  • While there are children who are considered “healthy” and do not have a diagnosed special need, all children who are waiting to be adopted have experienced some level of trauma by the sheer fact that they are not being raised by their biological family. Our in-depth adoption training prepares families for the adoption of children who have experienced trauma or are living with a specialized need. We will help define “specialized needs,” share more information on what that looks like for a child and guide you based on what you feel is possible for your family.

  • In-country travel requirements are dependent on the country program. Travel can vary between 1-2 trips and last from 5 days to 14+ weeks.
