Adoption Grants & Loans
Adoption is a ministry to effect future generations…and Lifesong’s Adoption Grant, and Church Adoption Fund programs are fantastic resources for how God could provide for your adoption financial needs…” — Howard Dayton, Co-Founder, Crown Financial Ministries
Adoption is our ultimate goal in caring for orphan children as it enables them to become a part of God’s perfect plan…a family. While many Christian families have the desire and resources to care for a child, initial costs keep many from following God’s call to adopt.
Please note — In order to comply with IRS guidelines and ECFA best practice, we must receive the completed application before the placement of a child in your home.

Matching Grants
Lifesong offers matching grants (range from $1,000-$4,000), which encourage the adopting couple’s church family to financiallyand prayerfully support the adoption.
- Dollar-for dollar matching grants act as catalysts in raising funds. As donations come in for adoptive families, matching grant money becomes available.
- Involving the local church creates a lifelong bond between the church family and the adopted child.
Key Strategy – Catalytic tool that mobilizes & engages the Body of Christ, leveraging funds to help bridge the financial gap.
Interest Free Loans–Lifesong Legacy Fund

Travis, Shannon & family — Read their story!
The Lifesong Legacy Fund offers Interest Free Loans to help families overcome the high cost of adoption. For donors, the Legacy Fund is a gift that keeps on giving. As the loans are repaid, new family needs are met…creating a self-perpetuating fund.
- Families enter into a covenant agreement to repay the loan through manageable monthly or annual payments.
- Families may utilize the Federal Adoption Tax Credit (2012: $12,650, 2013: $12,970) to support their loan payments.
Key Strategy — Funds become ‘self-perpetuating’, where loan repayments each month are recirculated to help meet current needs of new adopting families.
