Adoption is a life-changing decision for both parent and child. It's also an expensive decision, the costs of which can prevent some would-be adoptive parents from even beginning the process. The people at Hillcrest Baptist Church in Sioux Falls, S.D., know this - and they also know they can turn to their church for help with adoption costs.

"Saturday, Sen. Tim Johnson recognized the church as honorees of the 2008 Angels in Adoption award. He heard from families facing their own challenges of adoption. They told him without the help of their church it wouldn't be possible."

The money in the church's adoption fund was originally earmarked for a new facility, but with adoption costs rising, church leaders felt the money would be better invested in new families instead of a new building. Source: KSFY News (SD)
