The mission of Forever Families, established in December of 2002, is to promote fellowship between adoptive families, to be supportive of these families through prayer and encouragement, to be a resource for families considering adoption and to glorify God by doing His will in helping to find families for orphaned children, who desperately need to know the love of a “forever family.”

The group is very diverse, and yet we share two passions in common; we love the Lord and we love our children. It is our hope that everyone would feel comfortable in the group and that we can recognize that God has called each of us to different situations. We feel that each family has something to contribute to this group and that each of us can learn from one another

We are so excited about the blessings the Lord is pouring over Forever Families. In its short existence, we already have adoptees from China, Russia, Korea, the Philippines, Kazakhstan, Guatemala, El Salvador, India, Uzbekistan and the United States. There are families who have experienced international adoption, domestic adoption and those considering adoption for the first time. There are children who entered their forever families as infants and those who entered as teenagers. There are children with special needs, as well as those who are healthy.

We meet every other month on a Sunday afternoon for a time of fellowship. Together, we have created a website www.foreverfamilies.org where many families have shared their adoption stories and information about adoption resources. We feel this is a great source of encouragement and a testimony of faith for those families adopting and considering adoption.
