Adoption is a special subject to Paul Ury. Both he and his father were adopted as children. So when it was Paul's turn to have a family of his own, he wanted to adopt but didn't think he and wife Tina could afford it. Then a friend told them about Antioch Adoptions.

"It all started with a 12-year dream of Antioch's pastor, Dr. Ken Hutcherson. He desired to see all children from the foster care system adopted into loving homes. He also desired for more families to be able to afford infant adoptions. The services offered by Antioch Adoptions are free of charge."

Through Antioch, Paul and Tina were able to adopt 5-year-old Amanda and 4-year-old Hannah. Though Antioch Adoptions' free service is currently available only to Washington State residents, the church has started an awareness campaign to help churches in other states develop similar programs.
