Vision

A forever family for every child. We serve as a bridge between Church and State, partnering broadly on both sides to see an end to kids waiting for families. We believe in approaching this need from both ends of the spectrum – preventing kids from entering the system and finding families for kids awaiting adoption.

Goals

1. 1.In 2021, The Reel Hope Project responded to an increase in demand for our services and made the decision to go national. To date (March of 2026) we are active in 9 states. Over time, our goal and intention is to be available as a resource for waiting children and their social work teams in all 50 states and serving 1,000 kids per year.
2. 2.Our ability to match the required capacity to support our efforts with the rate of our nationwide expansion is dependent upon the generosity of financial partners in each of our focus states. We are entirely privately funded.
3. 3.Actively make an impact on the foster care landscape and serve as a recognized and critical resource in helping kids connect with adoptive families. This would include our goal to be a resource for social workers in this field who often experience burnout and discouragement.
