What?

HopeHouse International exists so that Orphans can become adopted by helping Ukrainian Christian couples with adequate housing, thus making them eligible by their Government to adopt three or more children.

Why?

According to Human Rights Watch, statistics show that before orphans in Ukraine reach the age of 21:
70% will be homeless and unemployed
20% will have criminal records
10% will commit suicide
= 100% NO HOPE

How?

1. Selection of Parents

Parents being considered as HopeHouse candidates must be recommended by local pastors, live a lifestyle based on Christian beliefs and principles, and demonstrate a passion for orphaned children.

2. Qualifying Process

Parental candidates must successfully complete a stringent HopeHouse interview and background process including all government background checks on financial, medical, and criminal record verifications. All candidates are subject to Board of Directors’ approval. (Two months)

3. Adoption of Three or More Children

Parents must adopt three or more orphaned children. (Minimum six months)

4. Providing a Home

HopeHouse provides a home upon assessment of best available and affordable option. This includes home purchase, renovation, or building. (Minimum six months)

5. Accountability

Parental accountability comes from the Government Adoption Center who performs follow-up visits and holds the parents accountable to provide for the children. HopeHouse maintains a relationship with the families and pastors in order to report the children’s progress to HopeHouse Partners and Sponsors.
