The MICAH Fund

Some of you may have heard of the "MICAH Fund." M.I.C.A.H. stands for Minority Infant Child Adoption Help.

They now have a website: http://micahfund.org/. You can read more about adoption or make a donation. Here's the site description:

The MICAH Fund exists to glorify God by promoting the adoption of American black and black biracial infants and children by providing financial grants for qualified adopting couples who live in Minnesota and surrounding cities. In addition, the MICAH Fund seeks to support its families through education and fellowship opportunities. Since 1989, the MICAH Fund has helped place over 225 children into loving Christian homes.

The Minority Infant and Children Adoption Help (MICAH) Fund was born out of a need to facilitate the adoption of minority children whose birthparents desired to voluntarily release them in adoption. The fund provides financial assistance for qualified adoptive parents for the payment of fees to those agencies who are committed to providing quality services to birthparents, their children, and prospective Christian parents. The fund is managed by the MICAH Fund Committee.

God may be calling your family to love a child through the blessing of adoption, or you may be called to join us in the task of providing the funds necessary to help those called to adopt. It is our desire to challenge each believer to take James 1:27 to heart and invest in the life of a child.
