Loving Shepherd Ministries
As you explore the possibility of adopting, we are thankful to be able to direct you to Loving Shepherd Ministries. This ministry provides pre-adoptive families with accurate, relevant information that will help you answer the 5 key questions of adoption:

  • Is adoption right for me?
  • What kind of adoption is right for me?
  • If international, which country should I chose?
  • Which adoption agency is best for me?
  • How can I pay for this adoption? 

Couples and individuals will receive specific, personalized information free of charge. For more information, please visit loving-shepherd.org

Adoption Financial Resources

Post-Adoptive Support

The journey of adoption doesn’t end when a child is united with their forever family. Grafted Vines can help post-adoptive families to connect with each other at Woodmen so that we can support, encourage and help each other through the good as well as the hard seasons of parenting.
