ADOPT-A-Child Program:

Option I: Year-round adoption. Provide Christmas & birthday gifts, and possibly an Easter basket. Pray specifically for that child while they are in treatment at ABFS. Other needs such as a Bible, coat, school supplies, etc could also be an option. Occasional cards of encouragement or any other creative ideas would be great! Children matched with Option I Sponsors usually have no family support and would benefit greatly from knowing there is someone out there that cares for them.

Option II: Seasonal adoption. Provide Christmas or birthday present, school supplies, Winter-wear or other one-time option.

Option III: Adopt a cottage. One time gift for everyone in cottage. Example: one item that everyone could enjoy or 12 items that is given to each boy, such as 12 pairs of gloves, or 12 movie passes, etc. Additional, any single gift/donation would be used for boys with specific needs (example: gift card to Wal-Mart used for new boy with no clothes or winter coat)
