Currently, in Hawaii, there are children and teenagers whose only permanent parent is the state of Hawaii. These children are modern day orphans living among us. Their birthparents’ rights had to be terminated so they could have an opportunity for safety, security and happiness throughout their lives.

Unfortunately, while these children are now safe, they don’t yet have the security and happiness they deserve because they have no adoptive families to call their own. Many live in multiple temporary foster homes and are at risk of moving into adulthood with no forever family. Many are older and desire to be part of a family, but most people don’t know of their desperate need.

HOPE INC (In the Name of Christ), a Christian adoption agency and Hawaii Family Forum have partnered with the State Department of Human Services to recruit, train and support families from the faith based community willing to provide a forever home to one of these needy children.

If you or someone you know would be willing to open your heart and home to a child without a family, please call Gisele at

A permanent place.HOPE INC (In the Name of Christ) founded by Randy and DeeannaMarie Wallace, is an inter-denominational Christian non-profit social service ministry for at-risk children and their families, as well as single-mothers and their children.  HOPE INC is a grass roots ministry that is run by volunteers.  As Jesus was moved with compassion for the multitudes in Matthew 9:36, HOPE INC takes action to assist at-risk families and single parents in hopes of preventing the involvement of the state child welfare in their lives.  If children must be separated from their birth family, whether it is temporary or permanent, HOPE INC will provide foster and adoptive homes as necessary.
