Many fine born-again families in Ohio are anxious to adopt. We have placed many babies with fine couples in Indiana and other states, including Ohio. Our ministry is not to provide babies for al l Baptist couples who want to adopt. Our ministry is to innocent, needy babies and children who are in need of homes. We are convinced tha t born– again people should rear these infants for the Lord and are thankful to be able to place children for the Lord. Our ministry is to reach children for Christ and if you too are interested in seeing chi ldren receive Christian care and direc tion you wi ll be intersted in the Baptist Children's Home.
