You can be a path to family for a child.

We’re passionate about finding families for children, not children for families. 

Unlike traditional adoption agencies, adoption is not our first resort. We’re committed to putting each child’s well-being above all else in determining if international adoption is their best choice.

The children who we help find a family through adoption are the ones who truly have no other path to family.

We will be by your side every step of the way.

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.

    • This path is a calling: We’re looking for families for our precious children, not children for families. This path offers a child not just a family but a chance to heal from trauma—giving hope and encouraging them to see the world and themselves in a new light.

    • This path is a leap of faith. It requires courage and an openness to grow alongside your child. Every waiting child carries the invisible scars of separation, regardless of other potential special needs. We stand ready to equip you with profound insight into the needs of children, both visible and invisible, embracing the whole child.

      Together, we will navigate the nuances of trauma with the strength of understanding, shaping a journey where you, the courageous and loving disruptor of adversity, can confidently build a healing home for this child now.

    • This path is essential for so many children: For the children who are left in situations where biological or domestic adoption within a child’s birth country is not an option, international adoption is an essential pathway for children to receive the care, security, and love a forever family can provide.

Frequently Asked Questions about Adoption (FAQs):

Understanding Factors for Eligibility and Matching:

    The first step towards knowing your eligibility begins when you fill out our free adoption pre-app—within just one business day, a dedicated Adoption Advisor will contact you. We’ll be ready to answer your questions and guide you with empathy and insight through the next chapters of your adoption journey.

  • Children of all ages, from infants up to 17 years old, need family. Currently, there's a pressing need for families to embrace children aged 6 and older, with moderate to significant needs. These children specifically await the love and stability only a forever family can provide.

    Remember, we’re passionate about finding families for children, not children for families. So, if you are willing to be used by God to be the family that will unlock a child’s future, fill out our free adoption pre-app—within just one business day, a dedicated Adoption Advisor will contact you with guidance for the path ahead.

  • Yes. Thorough legal processes verify each child's need and eligibility for adoption. By only working in Hague-accredited countries, we follow stringent standards to confirm the child's status. The U.S. Embassy's comprehensive review before visa issuance further underpins this validity. We prioritize transparency and trust, so you can feel secure that every child placed through AGCI has been ethically and legally cleared for adoption.

  • AGCI facilitates international adoption between the US and Bulgaria, Burundi, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Haiti, the Philippines, and South Africa.

    Every nation we operate in is aligned with the Hague Convention that reflects our commitment to the most stringent international standards, always placing a child's needs and well-being at the heart of our adoption practices.

    If you have a heart for a specific country that is not on this list, we still recommend you fill out our free adoption pre-app and talk with an Adoption Advisor. You may be surprised how God may use you to unlock possibilities beyond imagination.

  • Yes. We can work with families nationwide and will remain your primary support system throughout.

  • For us, yes. We put the wellbeing of children first. We try to help children find a family where they can be the younger sibling. By doing this, we aim to ease transitions and allow children to learn family dynamics naturally.

    However, because we put the wellbeing of children first, we allow for flexibility to stand up for the children in dire circumstances, have unique special needs, or are older children. In those special situations, we work to uniquely prepare families for how to best ease transitions and build bonds of love and trust.

Understanding Financial Costs:

  • 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.

    If you want to see the full fees for each program, fill out our free adoption pre-app—within just one business day, a dedicated Adoption Advisor will contact you to walk you through the costs with full transparency.

    When you fill out our free adoption pre-app—within just one business day, a dedicated Adoption Advisor will contact you to send you a comprehensive list of resources on financial assistance.

  • Adoption fundraising looks different for every family! If you are considering fundraising, we encourage you to look into AdoptTogether.

    AdoptTogether is one of the largest adoption fundraising platforms online. Similar to a crowd funding platform like GoFundMe, you can create a profile for your family where people are able to donate and designate their gift toward your adoption fundraiser. You can set your fundraising goal, track progress, send thank you notes, and tell your story through updates to your supporters. AdoptTogether is a non-profit 501c(3) organization, and all donations are tax-deductible, allowing donors to use their employee matching services through work, donor-advised funds, etc. Several AGCI families have used this service and raised thousands of dollars toward their adoptions!

  • International adoption is a complex and thorough process that includes extensive documentation, home studies, and government procedures from multiple countries, as well as the U.S. embassy's visa issuance. The aim is safety and precision in matching families with children. Despite the length of the process, it's important to understand that every careful step is to ensure the best possible outcomes for the children who need family like you.
