Co-Founders: Chance & Emily Carlisle
In 2007, God put a specific calling on the hearts of the Carlisles to take in one local child who needed fostering and to also adopt internationally. Since then, they have fostered numerous children and experienced the miracle of adoption four times! After the adoption of their first daughter, Ellie Jeeah, the Carlisles have continued their passion to help and serve families with the same call. The Carlisles have eight children and live in Pine Mountain Valley, Georgia.
Co-Founders: Skip & Ashley Perkins
In 2008, God opened the Perkins’ eyes to the cry of the orphan. They were deeply touched by witnessing two friends’ international adoptions and felt God’s calling to do the same. In 2010, they adopted their son, Grant, and in 2012, they adopted their daughter, Ruthie. The Perkins have seven children and live in Columbus, Georgia (the entire Perkins family is pictured here along with their two sons-in-law and one grandbaby!).
Our Director: Rev. Dr. Nicholas A. Cash
God began calling the Cashes to adopt in 2008. They completed the application and training processes and became an approved adoptive family in 2009. Almost ten years of praying and waiting later, Zoe Grace joined the Cash family in 2018! The Cashes have also fostered numerous children since 2018. The Cashes have four children and live in Fortson, Georgia.
