Chosen: Adoption & Foster Care

Building Families The Way God Builds His

What We’re About

Mercy Hill Students Service in Greensboro, NC

Adoption pictures the Gospel. At Mercy Hill, we build families through adoption and restore families through foster care. Through both, we step into God’s call to love the vulnerable—creating homes rooted in His love, grace, and purpose.

Our Goal

We’re running toward a big vision: 200 Mercy Hill families stepping into adoption or foster care by 2025. Why? Because every child should know the love of a family. Adoption builds the family, foster care restores the family, and support roles make it possible. Together, we can answer God’s call and make this vision a reality.

Our Vision

Our vision is simple yet powerful: to see families and individuals provide gospel-centered care to vulnerable children through four pathways—adoption, foster care, supporting families as a Rope Holder, and serving as a Guardian ad Litem.

How You Can Jump In

Adoption

Adoption is a powerful expression of God’s love, welcoming a child into a forever family. Whether you’re considering domestic, international, or foster-to-adopt, our team is here to walk alongside you.

Explore Adoption

Foster Care

Open your home to a child in need of a safe, loving environment while they await reunification with their family. Foster care provides vital support during a time of transition.

Take Your First Step

Rope Holders

Not everyone can foster or adopt, but everyone can help. As a “Rope Holder,” you can support families by assisting with tasks like grocery runs, transportation, yard work, or even licensed respite care. Think of it as being the support system every family needs.

Become a Rope Holder

Guardian ad Litem

Stand up for children in the court system by volunteering as a Guardian ad Litem. As a trained advocate, you’ll work with the courts to ensure each child’s needs are met during legal proceedings. This role is an incredible way to make a real difference.
