Both Hands serves traditional Christian adoptive families and Orphan Care ministries
Our mission is founded in the words of James 1:27, which calls us to serve the widow and the orphan. All Both Hands projects serve a widow or widower while at the same time serving a vulnerable child, whether that’s through adoption or orphan care causes. Are you ready to answer that call? Let’s take a leap of faith, together.
Hear from our Families

We can’t think of a more fitting way to be sent off to bring our daughter home than with our Both Hands project. What a day that we will remember forever!

When God called us to adopt, we were willing, but financially it felt impossible. But God does indeed provide! Both Hands has been His hands and feet and we cannot say how much it means to us.

We couldn’t have done it without Both Hands. Thank you, Both Hands, for caring for widows & orphans and for coming alongside adoptive families like us to make adoption a financial possibility.

A Both Hands project typically takes 6 to 8 weeks from the time that an application is approved until Project Day.
