Addy's Hope North Texas

09/01/2026

Somewhere, someone heard a sermon this weekend that laid adoption on their heart! Or maybe adoption is something God has been talking to you about for a long time, but you did not know how to take the first step!

Here at Addy's Hope, we believe adoption is at the heart of the gospel! With 4,598 legal orphans in Texas alone, we believe God is calling his people to come get his children! If that is you, come learn more about adopting one of the children waiting for a forever home in Texas! There is still time to register for our free, virtual, no commitment informational meeting!

Who: Anyone in the North Texas Area - Within an hour of Decatur
When: September 1, 2026 ~ 6:30 PM to 8 PM

"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." ~James 1:27

Our monthly adoptive mom support group got a little WILD this month! 🦒🦥 🦦 Lemur antics, sloth snuggles, giraffe kisses, and baby otter squeaks will in fact make your day better! 💜

Huge thanks to the Giraffe Inn & Safari for hosting our moms! It was so much fun watching our moms get to relax, laugh, connect, and enjoy a space to pour into themselves for a moment!! And a special thanks to owner Tiffany for the special touch of writing a note to each mom and reminding us of our individual, God-giving identity!

If you are an adoptive mom, we would love for you to join us for one of our monthly Coffee Moms groups (love of coffee not required!) It is a sacred space for those walking this unique journey to share common struggles, celebrate the victories - no matter how small, feel less alone, and be encouraged as well as encourage others with your own story! We would love to have you (adoption from Addy’s Hope not a requirement)!

You can find the dates and times on our website:
