About AGA & Staff

Amazing Grace Adoptions and Orphan Care first opened its doors in 1999. We are licensed by the state of North Carolina as a child-placing agency, able to provide quality adoption and foster care services. We are a not-for-profit, pro-life organization that seeks funding from churches, foundations, individuals, and corporations in order to keep our fees to adoptive families as low as possible.

Amazing Grace Adoptions and Orphan Care’s mission is to serve birthparents, orphaned and vulnerable children, and adoptive families both domestically and internationally through the Biblical model of family.

Amazing Grace Adoptions and Orphan Care operates under the legal name of Amazing Grace Adoptions which is a non-profit organization registered as a 501(c) 3.
