AUGUST Domestic Adoption Report

Since January 1, 2019, we are delighted to report that we have placed 42 newborn babies with forever families! 

During the month of July, Building Arizona Families placed 8 newborn babies in wonderful homes around the United States!  Each baby has a wonderful future ahead of them. We are so grateful for the courageous birth mothers and compassionate adoptive families who love these precious babies enough to give them a life and a future.  

Lacy was the mother of two children.  She was also pregnant with a third when their father left them.

When Lacy was on the verge of homelessness, a friend that Building Arizona Families had helped previously told Lacy that maybe she could get help there too!  Lacy reached out and was immediately surrounded by the support she needed throughout her pregnancy.  According to Lacy: “They saved my life and they saved my baby’s life!”

At the time of this interview, her little girl was two months old and with her new adoptive family.  Lacy is happy that her baby will have the opportunity for a bright future, and is doing well.  Watch her story HERE .

Please join us in helping to change the lives of pregnant women in crisis who courageously choose to put their unborn child’s life above their own through the selfless choice of adoption.  They choose life for their unborn child.  Now, let’s help them have the bright future they deserve.  

The mission of the Donna K. Evans Foundation is to support birth mothers after their adoption placement.  When we launched the foundation, our goal was to raise the bar on the standard level of care for adoption aftercare services.  This care is robust, including free job training, GED training, post adoption counseling, food and clothing.

The influence of the Donna K. Evans Foundation is expanding as we continue to receive high levels of interest and support from other adoption providers who desire to replicate the program in their own adoption entity. We offer the program model and infrastructure to any adoption entity who would like to provide and promote adoption aftercare services.

At the Donna K. Evans Foundation, we believe that to value an adopted child includes valuing the woman who chose to give that child life.  To assist and support that birth mother is to celebrate her selfless courage and continue to give back with love to help her move forward into a successful, happy future.  Find out how to get involved in helping brave women who chose life for their unborn child have the bright future they deserve.
