Colorado Church/State Adoption Initiative Spearhead by Focus on the Family is a "Phenomenal" Success

Teresa Neumann : Mar 15, 2010  Electa Draper - The Denver Post

"The success of the initiative has surprised even its many partners—the state, nine counties, New Life Church in Colorado Springs, and dozens of other churches and private agencies."

Wait No More(Denver, Colorado)—The Denver Post reports that the number of Colorado children in foster care awaiting permanent adoption has been cut in half by a partnership between churches—"Wait No More" adoption initiative, spearheaded by Focus on the Family in 2008—and government that places parentless kids in 'forever homes.'"

According to the report, "the success of the initiative has surprised even its many partners—the state, nine counties, New Life Church in Colorado Springs, and dozens of other churches and private agencies."

Sharen Ford, manager of permanency services for the Colorado Department of Human Services, has called the turnaround "phenomenal," saying she considers it a "remarkable public-private relationship."

"We don't talk religion. We don't talk politics," she said. "We talk kids."

"I'm stunned by the number of kids we've moved off the waiting list," Focus on the Family president and chief executive Jim Daly said, noting that orphan care is a core mission of Christianity. "I was one of those kids—a kid that doesn't have a mom and dad. I was never adopted, but I was very appreciative of the people who came along to mentor me."
