Pathways for Little Feet was founded because we believe God called us to help bridge the financial gap keeping families from adopting. Pathways’ interest-free loan program provides up to $10,000 in adoption financial assistance. These loans are paid back through monthly repayments which support other families in their adoption journey.
650+ CHILDREN
Since 2008 Pathways has assisted in bringing home more than 650+ children.
4.2 MILLION DOLLARS
Pathways has provided more than 4.2 million dollars to families through interest-free loans.
“This has quite possibly been the most sanctifying of seasons. But oh how thankful we are for the testing of faith. For the joy in suffering. For the Spring that ALWAYS follows a hard winter. Tonight we are sitting in what 2021 has held and cuddling the abundant blessings of our family of 4 on the couch. And there is no place we would rather be. “You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among your peoples.” Psalm 77:14 “

"Since the beginning of our journey together we knew adoption would be a part of our story. In 2019 our adoption agency introduced us to Pathways for Little Feet and we were awarded an interest free loan from Pathways, which helped us adopt our daughter. We wouldn’t have seen her adoption day without this assistance. We thank each of you for helping us make her adoption happen!"

"Adoption has blessed us tremendously, A is full of joy--she is loving, smart, funny and is thriving! The bond she and her big sister share is remarkable, they adore one another. Thank you all for making our adoption possible. We cannot picture our family without A a part of it!"
