An Opportunity for Churches

Since a local TV station ran a story on Hillcrest and our focus on adoptions, we've received several calls and inquiries as to whether our program is available for people outside of our church.  Sadly, we've explained that our program is currently for Hillcresters (and to this point, we've had no shortage of Hillcrest families needing assistance).

The stories we hear, though, are very real and often times painful.  Families who can not have kids starting an international adoption.  Families who can not have kids after trying everything looking at domestic adoption.  Families who have everything lined up and simply need some assistance with the legal paperwork of an adoption.

If there's one thing we've learned about adoptions, it is that they are expensive.  This post isn't to debate why they are so expensive, only to highlight that they are.  Families struggle the most with the costs associated with the adoption process, and those high costs present an amazing opportunity for churches looking to 'defend the cause of the orphan'.
