Show Hope is pleased to announce an open call for the Adoption Aid Grant Program.
Funding Information

Eligibility Criteria
Your home study or home study update must be completed in order to apply.
You must be in process using an agency that is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization licensed to place children for adoption.
If you are working through an adoption consultant, you cannot apply for a grant until you have finalized your placement agency. In addition, consulting fees will not be considered as part of the total adoption costs.

Before applying, you must be working with a licensed, child-placing agency that is a 501(c)(3) organization, and you must have a completed, approved, and/or updated home study.
