Adoption Swaption

08/31/2026

Back in the Spring our PayPal account was hacked somehow and even the recovery email address was changed. After weeks of customer service support we were not able to repair the account
That being said, we had a few that were supporting us monthly on that platform from the community.
I am linking our website to this post because we are now using the SubSplash platform for more security.
If you would like to continue your support, or begin supporting you can click the donate link on the website. We are a nonprofit so it’s tax deductible and all of it goes directly to supporting the ministry.

We are a Mercy Ministry to assist families who welcome children into their homes through fostering, adopting, kinship, or custodial situations.

If you are new here, Welcome!
AS is so much more than a foster closet. We strive to be a supportive community for foster and adoptive families here in Central PA.

If you are a foster, adoptive, guardianship or kinship family, we ask that you click the button that says Join Private Group. There you will see larger items like dressers, cribs and bed available for local pick up. You can also view our Sign Up Genius to sign up for shopping at our free store. We do ask to see proof of fostering, guardianship or custody for your first trip to AS. This helps us to ensure we are serving the correct population our Ministry aims to serve.

Do you need prayer? Looking for a local church for your family? Desiring to connect with others in similar family situations? Message us and we can help!!!

We are a Mercy Ministry of Open Door Baptist Church here in Lebanon PA. We maintain a “store” in Cleona PA where families can shop for their families tangible needs free of charge.

We rely on community donations to keep our racks and shelves filled. We accept new and gently used children’s items and we have a donation bin in the rear of our parking lot for your convenience.

FREE opportunity for a couple of moms to get rest for three nights and days! I have done several bed and breakfast stays with this organization and they have been such a blessing, but I’ve never seen a donor offer for moms to attend free! Please consider it. Pray about it. It can be a real blessing not just to you, but to your family too if you are able to REST for a few days!

Did you know that June is National Reunification Month?

While we are honored to care for these precious children during a season of their lives, the goal of foster care, whenever possible, is family reunification. This month, we celebrate the hard work, growth, and healing that make reunification possible and recognize the families, caseworkers, and foster parents who support that journey every step of the way.

Every child deserves love, stability, and the opportunity to thrive within a safe and healthy family.

What may feel like a chance encounter to us is never random in God’s plan. He knows exactly what we need, and He always provides in His perfect timing. 🤍

Today we’re especially praying for foster and adoptive mothers 🤍

The love you give, the sacrifices you make, and the way you open your heart and home to children in need is such a beautiful reflection of Christ’s love. Some days are joyful, some are challenging, and many moments go unseen — but your impact matters deeply.

Take a moment to pray for these incredible mothers today, and if this encourages you, share it with someone who loves and supports foster care and adoption 💐
