 We are thrilled that you have taken the first step toward making a radical difference in the life of a child. As Christians we are called to take care of the widows and orphans. (James 1:27)
Many people think you need a certain income or must not have any other children in order to become adoptive parents. These things aren't what matter most at Antioch Adoptions. You can be younger or older, be from any socioeconomic or ethnic background. You don't have to be a member of Antioch Bible Church in Kirkland, WA.
What matters most is your active Christian faith and walk, your good parenting skills, your openness to embrace the adoption process and all it entails, a sincere desire to love a child, and the ambition to help him or her grow as a full-fledged member of your family and our society. Because we are an adoption ministry, we ask our families to go one step further, to be directed by the Lord in all areas of this process, and to trust Him completely in seeking the child he has prepared for them.
Antioch Adoptions is here to help you perform radical acts of love toward children. Currently, we are serving American families physically residing in western Washington State only, although we are working toward eventually expanding to every state in the nation. If you live within two hours of Seattle, and plan to stay here for at least the next two years, we'd love the chance to meet you and hear more about your desire to be an adoptive parent. If you don't, you may want to give us your contact information so that when we begin serving families in your state, we can let you know.
People who are a part of the Antioch Adoptions family are like you...ordinary people who have chosen to do something excellent... admirable... awe-inspiring... radical. People who have chosen to touch the life of a child like no one else can. And we will be with you every step of the way.
