How You Can Help

In addition to providing adoption services, Adoption Advocates International (AAI) believes that the agency - and adoptive parents - have a responsibility to help in the country of the origin of the children by providing supplies and financial assistance to assure that orphan children who may not be adopted are served.

The generosity of donors has enabled AAI to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of children each year through our humanitarian projects. We are always looking for generous people who are able to help with our humanitarian projects through donations of needed supplies, holding fundraising activities, or donating directly to one of our projects. The majority of our humanitarian projects are in Ethiopia and Ghana at the present time, but we also support the China Tomorrow Plan.

The GRACE FUND is an opportunity for contributors to help provide help that some families may need to move forward on the adoption of a special needs child. This fund is open to families adopting from all programs. Please check the Grace Fund link for more specific information about the program and some of its success stories, as well as a video on the Grace Fund.

There are sponsorship programs operating in many countries. Please check the area or region of interest to you to read more about specific initiatives.

Do you belong to a church or synagogue with a Social Concerns Committee?

Are you a member of a service club or fraternal organization?

Are you part of any athletic, educational, or recreational group that may be interested in sponsoring a child, a project, or an orphanage?

Would your group be interested in sponsoring a fun run, family game night, holiday party, or any other fundraising activity to support a program of your choice?

Would you be willing to host an adoption information night in your home or somewhere in your community?
