Welcome to Baptist Children's
Home and Family Services

Our mission is to care for children who have been abused, abandoned, neglected or in crisis. Additionally, we seek to bring new hope and new health to families needing help coping with parenting and/or other social issues. Our support comes in many forms and we appreciate all that the area churches, associations and individuals do for us.

"Orphaned children all over the world are waiting... hoping... praying that they will become dear to someone. That somewhere there will be one special family that finds delight and great joy in welcoming them into their home! Each one waits expectantly with a hopeful heart for a family to come, each tiny soul daring to silently rehearse secret dreams for the future.”

SUCCESS STORIES:
The Child That
God Brought Forth

For 18 years Joy and Phil Jueckstock prayed to be parents.
After three miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy, their desire to be a mom and dad never diminished.

Then on June 19, 1988 a FedEx driver delivered to them a picture of hope. This hope came in the form of a photograph of a beautiful Chinese baby girl. Although the process gave them the option to accept or re-file for another child, Joy reflects, “There was no way we were going to turn down any child that God had brought forth to us on that day.”
