Overview

Mission

To build and strengthen families with kind and ethical services to members of the adoption triad: birth parents, adoptive parents, and adopted children.

What it reported doing in 2017

After years of collaboration, and months of planning, christian family services merged with christian adoption services, a licensed, non-profit agency in North Carolina. Our office has become the South Carolina office of christian adoption services, effective 10/1/17.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 89% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
