The power of prayer is very real and is available to all who choose to use it.    When two of you gather… in prayer, my Father in heaven goes into action. When two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I will be there. Matthew 18:19-20

Every day, we ask God to guide and direct our steps, honoring Him in service and Christian love.  

Please join us in praying for two birth parents that are seeking guidance and wisdom as they consider adoption. 

Please pray for the thousands of orphaned children all over the World and in the United States foster care system. These children are in need of loving, adoptive families in which to belong right now.

James 1:27²⁷ Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

An educational adoption documentary video has been created and copies will be distributed to pro-life organizations in the upcoming months.  

In response to the disruption of the child from Russia and further news out of Russia, Spirit of Faith Adoptions wanted to remind all adoptive families of the difficulty when completed adoptions fall through.  This is called a dissolution, which is sort of like a divorce.   This is heartbreaking both for the adoptive family and, especially, for the adopted child.  But please always remember that there are processes available if the adoption is experiencing difficulties.   Please always contact the adoption agency that assisted you with your adoption.  There are many agencies that want to help in such trying times, but if no call for help is made, how can there be assistance? 

19Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on Earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.  20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.  (Matthew 18:19-20)  

Health Care Reform Law
Expands Adoption Tax Credit

Public Law 111-148, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, was signed into law on March 23, 2010. Section 10909 of the Act extended the adoption tax credit for one more year (to December 31, 2011) and expanded the program in two ways:

• For tax year 2010, the amount of the credit was increased from $12,170 to $13,170.
• The credit was made refundable for all types of adoption for tax years 2010 and 2011.

Because the adoption tax credit will be refundable, families who have smaller tax liability will now be able to benefit from the credit for adoptions finalized in 2010 and 2011.
