Welcome to
Virginia One Church, One Child

One Church, One Child is a national minority adoption recruitment program. It was founded in 1980 by Father George Clements in Illinois. The Virginia One Church, One Child Program began in 1985 as a part of the State's campaign to recruit families to adopt hundreds of waiting African-American children. The "core” Program is funded by the Virginia Department of Social Services. Additional support is provided through special project grants and contributions from churches, individuals, and private foundations.

Our primary focus and the priority of our work is finding families for African-American children. We believe in every child's right to love and permanence and do, therefore, work on behalf of all waiting children.
