In Greek , the word Zoe means "life" but not just ordinary life…vitality!
This is our vision for children with special needs…a life of vitality rooted in the unconditional love of a family.
A Waiting Child is a child who is in immediate need of adoption and is ready to be matched with an adoptive family. We regularly receive information from our international partners about children who are in need of immediate adoption. The child has been identified by their caretakers as a child who would thrive in an adoptive family.
The ZOE! Fund allows Agape Adoptions to offer grants for specific waiting children who are on Agape Adoptions' advocacy list, making the costly adoption process more manageable for families who are ready to welcome these precious children into their homes.
Due to privacy concerns, we don't publicly display photos of the children. However, we can provide more information on our secure Waiting Child pages. To access these pages, you'll need to create an account.
