Miriam’s Heart matters because it steps into a gap that very few others do—standing with children who have been adopted or are in foster care, and the families who care for them in tangible ways, because

Children matter. Every child deserves to grow up in a safe, loving, and permanent family. Miriam’s Heart works to ensure kids who have experienced loss, trauma, or instability find hope, healing, and belonging.
Families need support. Foster, adoptive, and kinship families often feel isolated and overwhelmed. Miriam’s Heart provides practical help, training, and community so families can keep going and children can thrive.
Community is stronger when we care for the vulnerable. When children are given stability and healing, and families are equipped to love them well, the ripple effects touch schools, neighborhoods, and generations to come.
Without organizations like Miriam’s Heart, children fall through the cracks. The system cannot do it alone. Miriam’s Heart brings together churches, volunteers, advocates, and donors to fill the critical gaps.
Love in action changes lives. At its core, Miriam’s Heart exists to embody compassion, advocacy, and practical solutions for children and families who need it most.
We've been there. A majority of Miriam’s Heart’s leadership has personally walked the journey of adoption and foster care. We understand the struggles, the beauty, and the heartbreak—and that’s why we’re uniquely equipped to stand with children and families, bringing hope, advocacy, and practical support.
