Description
One Church One Child operates as a licensed child placing agency in the state of Florida. As an adoption program, One Church, One Child was initially implemented March 1988 to assist the Florida Department of Children and Families. The program has a proven track record and has been instrumental in finding adoptive and foster homes for children, providing awareness, support and training to families, community agencies and organizations over these past years. In accordance with the legislative mandated privatization of child welfare service, One Church, One Child now operates as an independent 501© 3 non-profit service provider.
