Apply for help

Any married couple who is seeking to adopt a child from overseas but can’t afford to do so for any reason is eligible to apply to become an AVA’s Hope Family.  

Our philosophy at AVA’s Hope is that the money raised and/or donated is meant to be spent to sponsor the adoption of children in need. Therefore, it is our policy to allocate the money as it comes in rather than hold it from year to year. 

If at any point in time we have a surplus of funds, (that is, we have raised more money than needed for our current AVA’s Hope pending adoptions), we will open up the application process to assist more families. We only open the application process when we have available funds. For this reason, we encourage you to check back often or to sign up for our eNews updates.

Wished For Child

Our new children's book is here! Written after experiencing frustration at the lack of children's books available for adoptive children and their siblings, Wished for Child uses one child's voice to explain the loving decision that is adoption - from each person involved at each stage.

Written by Rachel Henry and beautifully illustrated by Amanda Mercurio, the story is illustrated and told to be applicable for any child, regardless of where or how they came to be adopted. The book also includes journal pages so that you can record personal notes related to your child's own adoptive story.

This book is perfect to use as preparation for siblings when welcoming a new member of the family via adoption, for your own adoptive child, or as a gift for a family/child growing through adoption.

100% of the proceeds from this book will go directly toward funding our adoption grants.

Paperback, 32 full-color pages
