Our Vision is of children and families, who are strong, restored and saved by the love of Jesus, and of local churches who are supported, undergirded and strengthened by Illini Children's Christian Home Ministries social services. Over 2,600 children and their families have been served over the past 33 years. Consultation is provided to families, guardians or agencies considering placement of a child. Foster home placements are made strictly on a voluntary basis with the parent or guardian of the child. Some court ordered placements are accepted.
Foster homes are available to pregnant girls prior to graduation from high school.
Most adoptions are of Illinois children but interstate and international adoptions are being facilitated. Illini Children's Christian Home Ministries depends on donations from churches and individuals, foundations, corporations and states to maintain the quality and availability of its services. Gifts of cash, securities, bequests, charitable trusts, gifts of life insurance, real estate, personal property and in-kind contributions are accepted. Annual Reports and other information are available upon request. Twenty responsible Christian leaders voluntarily serve as representatives of the Christian Church and Churches of Christ restoration movement.
