About Us

Our Process
Adopting couples may request financial assistance in any amount, based upon their needs. However, we ask that families not come to us too quickly, because God may have other ways that He wants to satisfy their adoption-related financial needs. We recognize that The ABBA Fund is only one tool in God's vast toolbox and we serve at His pleasure. Our ability to provide financial assistance will depend in part upon the needs of the couple and the resources available to The ABBA Fund. The couple must be committed to raising their children in accordance with Scriptural principles. The couple will enter into a covenant agreement with The ABBA Fund whereby the couple agrees to reimburse The ABBA Fund in manageable monthly payments. Loans provided by The ABBA Fund are interest free. Couples seeking assistance must complete an application, and submit it with a copy of their completed home study and a list of references.

Our Belief
We believe that the best environment for the raising and training of children is in a godly home with a father and mother. The ABBA Fund provides interest-free covenant loans to Christian couples who are called by God to expand their families through adoption and who need help with the “cash flow crunch” posed by adoption expenses.

Our Story
Abba is an Aramaic word typically used by a child to address his father, expressing complete confidence that the father would provide every need. The Bible proclaims that God is the Father, Helper and Defender of the fatherless (Psalm 10:14; Psalm 68:5; Proverbs 23:10-11). The ABBA Fund exists to glorify God as one of His instruments in helping the fatherless (James 1:27).
