Love Gives Adoption started as a ministry of Centerpoint Church in Annapolis, MD. What was simply a one week fundraiser with no particular family and no particular goal in mind evolved into an annual effort raising over $150,000 for 13 adopting families. Over the last 2 years God has been changing the purpose of Love Gives Adoption from being a ministry of one church that tried to help many children, to an organization that empowers thousands of churches to support one adopting family at a time. The vision is to empower every local church to support an adopting family by hosting an adoption offering annually, and by supporting the family through the entire adoption journey. The second purpose of Love Gives is to help establish adoption rescue homes all around the world by providing families and holistic healing to the most marginalized.
