Wait No More South Carolina in Simpsonville

Wait No More South Carolina

Right now, more than 550 children and youth in South Carolina foster care are waiting for adoptive families. South Carolina also has more than 9,000 churches, and God has given clear commands for Christians to take care of His orphan children.

So if the command is clear and the need is apparent, why are these kids still waiting?

At Focus on the Family, we believe that every child has the right to have a family. That's why we're collaborating with adoption agencies, church leaders, and ministry partners to raise awareness of and recruit families for those waiting for permanent families.

Through one day events and targeted marketing campaigns, Focus on the Family is highlighting the urgent need for adoptive parents. For too long, these children and youth have been overlooked.

But that is changing. God is stirring the hearts of His people to welcome these children and youth into forever homes. To date, more than 2,100 families have initiated the process of adoption from foster care as a result of the collaborative efforts of Wait No More. And this is only the beginning.

Join Focus on the Family, South Carolina Department of Social Services as well as church and adoption leaders from around South Carolina on Saturday, March 2, 2013 at First Baptist Church Simpsonville. You'll hear more about the kids who are waiting, the process of adoption from foster care and ways to support adoptive families. In addition, agency and county representatives will be on site to answer questions and help you get started.

So come explore what the Lord may be asking you to do. Together we can ensure that no child in South Carolina is waiting for someone to call mom or dad.
