Tomorrow Is A Gift
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and by petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transends all understanding, will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus. ~ Phil 4:6-7

Instructions:

Many families apply for financial assistance and grant organizations have to pick and choose which families they can help. Unfortunately, not everyone who needs help will receive it, so be selective and chose organizations that best fit your adoption plans.

Priority is often given to families who are adopting special-needs children, older children or sibling groups because these children are usually harder to place. Grant foundations are often specifically formed to help hard to place children and want to encourage families to consider adopting children who might not have a home otherwise.

Fill out your application thoroughly and submit all requested documents to be considered. Even if not requested, include reference letters, photos and details about the child to support your desire to adopt. You know what they say, 'a picture paints a thousand words'.

Priority is usually given to families who show the most financial need and who have demonstrated they've worked on their own to raise the funds.

The board members reviewing your application need to know with the funds they're distributing who they're helping, and that you've made an emotional and financial investment to adopt.
