Sacred Selections Grant Criteria
Grants are available to families who are legally able to adopt according to a completed home study and background checks, who are active members in good standing of a conservative, non-instrumental, non-institutional church of Christ, and for whom the financial burden of adoption creates a barrier that would prevent them from being able to pursue adoption without a grant.
