Please join us for our Trauma-Informed Parenting class on Wednesday, August 14, 2024 from 5-6:30pm. The details are located here.

Welcome from Executive Director, Cathrine Troy

My heart opened wide when my daughter was placed in my arms and again a few years later when my sons emerged from the airplane that brought them home to me. My heart opened so wide it was as if I birthed them from my heart.

There is always a place in my heart for the women that gave birth to these beautiful children and who are not here to see them smile nor wipe their tears. There is always a place in my heart for all birth-parents who against the very fiber of their being; with their hearts breaking open with Love, chose adoption and allowed us to help. Adoption can be a miracle when it is right for everyone.

Joyful World Ministries doing business as All Age Adoption Plus is a full service, Christian, licensed, non-profit agency committed to providing individual care and attention to help you as an expectant parent, not ready to parent; or you who are waiting for a child to come into your home; and foremost the child who needs a secure, safe family where they can meet their highest potential.

Our staff has all been personally touched by adoption and we are highly trained and experienced. We are available to you every step of the way and after. We work with people of all races, religions, backgrounds, ages and marital status. We will work with you individually, with flexibility, confidentially and without judgment to provide quality homes to all children.

Joyful World Ministries doing business as All Age Adoptions Plus places babies and children directly from biological parents. We also coordinate with other agencies to place children throughout the United States and many other countries.

If you would like to talk or have questions, call our office and we would be happy to talk or meet with you…or click Contact Us.

There is never a charge for someone who needs a home for their child.

Our first visit for prospective adoptive parents is at no charge.

Sincerely,
Cathrine Troy
Executive Director

Legacy of an Adopted Child

Once there were two women
Who never knew each other.
One you do not remember,
The other you call mother.

Two different lives
Shaped to make yours one,
One became your guiding star,
The other became your sun.

The first gave you life,
And the second taught you to live it.
And the first gave you a need for love,
And the second was there to give it.

One gave you a nationality.
The other gave you a name.
One gave you the seeds of talent,
The other gave you aim.

One gave you emotions,
The other calmed your fears.
One saw your first sweet smile,
The other dried your tears.

One gave you up,
It was all that she could do.
The other prayed for a child,
And God led her straight to you.

And now you ask me through your tears,
The age old question through the years.
Heredity or environment, Which are you a product of?
Neither, my Darling, Neither,
Just two different kinds of love.
