We are all adopted. Adopted by a savior who first loved us. A natural expression of the gospel is having an open heart towards adoption. We believe god calls people to grow their families through the beautiful journey of adoption.although this journey results in complete families, and new homes for the homeless, the process can be rigorous, burdensome, and discouraging.it is from this place of hope and despair that firefly childrens initiative was founded. Our heart is to advocate for families. Our mission is to alleviate the financial burden of adoption. Our core value is to relentlessly pursue belonging for all children. We are dedicated to improving the odds of children being placed in loving forever families.
