Our Story
Our Story and a Message from Our Family to Yours
Our family has had the privilege of opening our home to children in need through foster care and adoption. Along this journey, we have welcomed nine children into our home and adopted one of them as a permanent member of our family.
This experience changed our lives and allowed us to see how love, stability, and hope can transform not only a child's life but also the lives of their families. We learned that foster care goes beyond simply caring for a child; it is also an opportunity to extend grace, support, and love to their biological parents and relatives. We have seen how a prayer, a word of encouragement, or an act of kindness can make a profound difference.
That's why At Our Amazing Grace Foundation was created.
Our desire is to inspire, encourage, and equip families and churches to consider the call to foster care, adoption, and support for those already serving in this mission. We know that a willing and prepared family can change the course of a child's life.
Today there is a great need. Thousands of children are waiting for a safe home, a loving family, and a community that reminds them they are valuable. We believe the Church has a unique opportunity to respond in a practical and transformative way.
We also believe it's not just about more families fostering or adopting. Our desire is to see churches building teams and ministries that can educate, guide, support, and accompany families who feel this calling. Not everyone is called to open their home, but everyone can be part of the solution.
Imagine the impact it would have if just one family in every church answered the call to become a foster family or adopt. Imagine if every church had a team committed to supporting and walking alongside those families. Together we could transform the lives of thousands of children.
We believe that the most powerful love is that which is given without expecting anything in return, just as Jesus loved us. Foster care, adoption and support for these families are an opportunity to reflect that love and demonstrate the heart of Christ to the most vulnerable.
"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us." — 1 John 4:10
"Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction..." — James 1:27
Our prayer is that God will touch your heart and show you how you, your family, or your church can be part of this mission. Because when a family opens their home, a church offers support, and a community answers the call, a child’s life can be changed forever.
You don’t need a perfect family to change a child’s life; just a family willing and prepared to love. And you don’t need a big church to make a difference; just a church willing to answer the call.
With love and gratitude,
God bless you,
Pedro, Arelis and Family
