This is one of the most common questions we’re asked.

The adoption process typically begins with a home study, which takes about 4–9 months to complete. Once the home study is finished, expectant parents review adoptive family profiles and may choose to meet with one or more families.

From there, they may decide to move forward and be matched with the family they feel is the best fit. Many expectant parents begin the adoption planning process around 16–20 weeks of pregnancy.

Rooted in the belief that God has a special heart for adoption, Spirit of Faith Adoptions provides Christ-centered adoption services inspired by our own adoption into God’s family. 💛

We recently hosted our 6th annual Fireweed Retreat, the only Christ-centered retreat welcoming all biological moms from across the country who have courageously chosen adoption for their children. ✨

Women joined us to rest, worship, heal, and experience community with others who understand their journey. We heard story after story of God’s faithfulness. Lives were encouraged, hearts were renewed, and burdens were lifted.

Check out this video to hear firsthand from women who attended.

Meet The Director

Spirit of Faith Adoptions was founded by a Christian attorney, Phillip Wurster after he and his wife, Lisa adopted two children from Russia and one from China into their family. During their travels to Russia, they saw first hand how many children had been orphaned and after much prayer, they both felt lead by God to do more. (James 1:27 to care for widows and orphans in their distress and to keep them from being polluted by the World).

Lisa Wurster formed "Friends of Russian Orphans," a non-profit organization that exists to provide for children's needs in Russian orphanages. Friends of Russian Orphans provides material needs as well as educational programs and financial support. Phillip and Lisa have devoted much of their time, energy and hearts to James 1:27, caring for orphans in their distress.
