Grace Reformed Baptist Church recognizes adoption as an expression of faithfulness to God’s teachings, in keeping with the many references in the Bible about orphans and the need to show care and compassion for them. Christians themselves are adopted by God, taken from sinful lives and granted all the rights and privileges that come with being members of God’s family.
GRBC seeks to promote and support adoption through teaching and through practical means. Since one of the main barriers to adoption comes in the area of its expense, the Church seeks to address this concern through an adoption fund. Donations made to this fund will be accessible by church members who have a heart for adoption but whose financial resources may not be sufficient to cover its cost.
We invite you to learn more about the GRBC Adoption Fund.

**AN IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION FROM ABBA FUND ABOUT YOUR DONATION**
Using the online form on this page automatically submits a request to preference your gift to the family profiled on this page as part of ABBA Fund’s Christian Family Adoption Grant Fund. ABBA Fund administers this fund and maintains full control and administration of all donated funds. We also strive to honor our donor’s preference requests in accordance with IRS and Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) guidelines.
The IRS allows donors to state a preference of how their contribution is used and request that the gift support a particular family — and it allows the charitable organization (ABBA Fund) to fully consider that request as long as the donor understands and acknowledges for charitably given tax-deductible gifts that the ultimate authority regarding the disposition of your gift is at the discretion of the charitable organization. By using this online form, or other method described above, you are acknowledging an understanding of those IRS guidelines.
