Children’s Hope International is giving orphans who have no hope, a new life with loving forever families through international adoption and connecting sponsors with orphans who will not be adopted. For sixteen years, Children’s Hope has found loving homes for over 7000 children. In the summer of 2006, Children's Hope launched an Orphan Sponsorship program and is now providing hope and material aid for orphans in China, and at risk children in Vietnam, India and Ethiopia.

In 1992, when China opened up to international adoption, Dwyatt Gantt along with Melody Zhang recognized the opportunity to help orphaned children find a home. Gantt moved from China back to the United States while Zhang worked through an orphanage in China. In that first year, fourteen children were placed in forever families through adoption from China. Children’s Hope was one of the first agencies to finalize adoptions from China for American families. In 2004, Children's Hope finalized 443 adoptions from China making a yearly total of 806 from all five countries we serve.

Since our mission is to better the lives of children throughout the world, Children's Hope does not forget those orphans who are not adopted. See our current humanitarian aid work from the field through Hope's Purpose, our Foundation's blog.
