Our mission
The mission of PRO-grace Adoption Agency is to preserve and enhance human life through placement of domestic, international and foster children into loving Christian adoptive families.
The counseling and placement services of the ministry shall reflect the Love of God through: promoting adoption as a primary alternative for unplanned pregnancies; providing support and assistance to domestic birth parents choosing this alternative; providing support and assistance to adoptive parents by training, counseling, and guiding them before and after placement; facilitating adoptions of domestic infants, toddlers, foreign orphans and foster children; meeting the humanitarian needs of foreign orphaned children; leading children to our Lord Jesus Christ through their placement in Christian families.
We believe it is our responsibility to support families throughout the adoption process, especially the assessment phase, and to provide them with the resources which will enable them to become successful of an adopted child.
We create homes, adopt children and take care of them from there, we also seek help from different families that are able to help us by encouraging them to adopt these children, take full custody of them, take care of them as their own.
God is sovereign over all situations in life—including the lives of Children in need/orphans. We believe that adopting a child is not a “mission,” but rather a way in which God chooses to bless a family through one of His “good works” that He has pre-ordained for us to walk in.

Because God values all of his children equally, no child should be defined by the way he/she enters a family. We do not assume that issues arising in the lives of adopted children are all attributable to being adopted. Just as children living with their birth parents often have emotional, physical or psychological problems, so too, do children by adoption. We do recognize, however, that many issues faced by children by adoption are a corollary from the time these children spent living in institutions or broken homes. All children are unique and have specific needs.
We believe that the problems faced by children, whether children by birth or adoption, should not define these children, but should be recognized as part of their personality, designed with a specific purpose for who they are and a part of their particular and unique place in a family. It would not be remotely possible to outline, in detail, the many joys, principles, and challenges involved in parenting a child (adopted or birth). We do, however, desire to briefly touch on some important biblical principles for caring for children that we espouse at PRO-grace
Love and relationship
We believe that all parents ought to love their child(ren) through what they say and do, thus building and maintaining a strong relationship with him/her. It is important that parents show their child(ren) unconditional love and tell them how much they’re loved.
We believe parents ought to treat every child equally—though with an understanding that every child is unique and has his/her own purpose, interests, desires, temperament and needs.
We believe the greatest act of love a parent can show a child is to properly teach and train them to have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Adoption is natural
Adoption actually is just as natural as procreating, but it requires one thing that the enemy has hidden from the typical Ugandan couple. You actually have to see Children in need/orphans before your heart goes out to them and your fathering or mothering desire kicks in. Perhaps that is why in James we find the command to visit widows and orphans in their distress. It takes nine months to have a biological child. Could you imagine what visiting orphans for nine months would do to your heart? In the same way that caring for your expectant wife and listening to the sounds of the baby in the womb turn your heart to your new baby, visiting orphans has the natural effect of turning your heart to them as well.
