Grace Children's Home, Inc. is the fulfillment of a dream. With the adoption of their son, Noah, Keith & Cherith Marsh realized it really was possible to love other peoples' children as much as their own. At the same time they became aware of the emerging crisis in our foster care system. They gathered a team and went to work! Their research showed that the single most important variable determining how well children develop was whether they grew up in a stable, loving family. This, really, is at the heart of Grace Children's Home.
In 1997 & 1998, money was raised and a
beautiful, 15-bedroom home on 25 acres of land in Springfield, New
Hampshire was purchased to launch the vision. Children began arriving
late in 1999. Since then, 26 children have come through our doors and
have begun a new chapter in their lives. Most have been adopted; some
have returned home to their families and some are still with us! Grace
Children's Home is one of many new ideas emerging to help meet the
growing needs in the Foster Care system. We're learning that it's love
that NEVER fails, and it's love that heals the heart of a child! We're
grateful to have this opportunity to make a difference!
