Development Officer

AGCI is so much more than an adoption agency. We work with children and families around the world to help keep children within families and out of institutions. In instances when that isn’t possible, we partner with institutions to train caregivers and elevate care so that every child is known and loved. Additionally, through our strong relationships with government officials around the world, we’re working to change the systems that keep children in institutions and out of loving families.

For the millions of children who wait for forever families, AGCI is also committed to being an advocate. We advocate for waiting children (children or sibling groups who due to their age or special needs are sometimes more challenging to place) to find their forever families. We believe that every child deserves to know the love of a forever family and are passionate about being a voice for these often-forgotten children.

Our Mission: All God’s Children International is an orphan care ministry answering God’s call to provide the love and care that every child deserves.

Our Vision: To empower local leaders to intervene for the 8 million children currently living in institutions and create more pathways to family and independence.
