Choose a rhythm
Set aside five minutes each week to read one public profile and pray with attention.
A prayer movement for waiting children
Every child deserves to be known by name—and held in prayer.
We’re mobilizing people to pray faithfully and respectfully for children featured on the AdoptUSKids photolisting as they wait for safe, permanent families.
“A child’s profile is more than a listing. It is a life worthy of dignity, hope, and faithful care.”
Pray For Us Kids is an independent faith-based initiative and is not affiliated with or endorsed by AdoptUSKids.
A simple rhythm of prayer
You don’t need to know every detail. Begin with the information a child’s caseworker has chosen to share publicly, then pray without speculation or promises.
- 01
Meet a waiting child
Visit the official AdoptUSKids photolisting and thoughtfully read one public profile.
- 02
Pray by first name
Pray for the child’s safety, belonging, trusted adults, and a permanent family prepared to support them.
- 03
Return faithfully
Set a rhythm that fits your life—daily or weekly—and invite your family, small group, or congregation to join.
Pray with care
Protect dignity in every conversation.
Use only public details
Do not search for, collect, or share information beyond what an authorized photolisting publishes.
Never speculate
Let prayer be compassionate without inventing a child’s history, needs, feelings, or future.
Keep profiles in context
Link people to the official listing instead of reposting a child’s image or personal profile.
Turn concern into a steady practice
Prayer can begin with one person and widen into a community that remembers children consistently—not only in moments of urgency.
Gather others
Bring the practice to a family meal, small group, prayer team, or congregation—with the same commitment to dignity.
Learn about adoption
If prayer leads you to explore foster care or adoption, use qualified agencies and official resources.

Is this an adoption-matching service?
No. Pray For Us Kids does not match families and children, manage inquiries, or represent a child welfare agency. AdoptUSKids and authorized caseworkers provide the official pathways for prospective families.
Should I repost a child’s photo or story?
We encourage sharing the official AdoptUSKids page rather than downloading or reposting a child’s image or profile. That keeps information connected to its authorized source and current context.
What should I pray for?
Pray for safety, belonging, supportive relationships, wise caseworkers, resilient caregivers, healthy sibling connections, and a permanent family equipped to love and support the child.
Start with one name.
Read with care. Pray with hope. Return with faithfulness.
