💗 Help Us Make the 2026 Birth Mom Retreat Special! 💗

We are exactly a month away from the 2026 DPA Birth Mom Retreat, and we’re so excited to spend this special weekend with the birth moms we have the privilege of serving.

We’ve created a Birth Mom Retreat Wishlist with items that will help us prepare for a weekend of rest, connection, encouragement, and fun. Every item purchased helps us create an environment where our birth moms can feel cared for, loved, and celebrated. 💕

From snacks and supplies to little touches that make the weekend feel special, your generosity helps us remind each birth mom that she is seen and that she matters.

We’re in the middle of our Navigating the Journey adoptive parent seminar, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to spend these two days with 7️⃣ couples who are taking important steps toward building their families through adoption.

Today, our couples are learning from some of the incredible people who walk alongside DPA families throughout the adoption process—including Kevin and Jeanne Wisner, who have faithfully served alongside DPA in the courtroom for over a decade. 👩‍⚖️ We are so grateful for their continued partnership and the wisdom they share with each family.

Would you join us in praying for these 7️⃣ couples as they learn, ask questions, process, and prepare for the journey ahead? 🙏 Pray that they would be equipped with knowledge, encouraged by the stories they hear, and reminded that they don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

We’re thankful for every person who invests in these families and helps them navigate the journey of adoption. 🧡

We debuted this powerful story of adoption on Thursday night at the 2026 DPA Gala. We knew in the midst of filming that it was a story worth sharing beyond the walls of the Gala.

Claire, Warren, Barbara, and Tonya’s story is one of survival, reunion, forgiveness, and restoration. It is a story that reminds us of the incredible ways God can bring healing and restoration through adoption.

It is also a beautiful tribute to our beloved former employee, Debbie Campbell, whose faithfulness and compassion played several important roles in this story and countless others.

A special thank you to Claire Culwell: Twin Abortion Survivor, her parents, Warren and Barbara, and her birth mom, Tonya, for having the courage to share their story. We are also incredibly grateful to Riversong Films for helping bring this story to life and allowing it to be told so beautifully.

Whether you were at the Gala or missed it, we hope you’ll take some time to watch and experience this powerful story for yourself. 🩷

Some families start with a decision. This one started with a miracle nobody saw coming.

Claire tells her story alongside her parents who raised her, and the birth mother who reunited with her 21 years later.

Thank you to Deaconess Pregnancy & Adoption Services for being a huge part of this adoption story and to Riversong Films for bringing it to life in this film.

Today, we have a very special sponsor to thank: Butterfield Memorial Foundation, DPA’s parent organization.

We are incredibly grateful for the support, leadership, and partnership they provide to DPA. Their investment in our mission helps make it possible for us to continue walking alongside women, children, birth families, and adoptive families.

Being part of the Butterfield Memorial Foundation family is a gift, and we are thankful for the many ways they support and encourage the work of DPA. Their partnership allows us to continue pursuing our mission and serving families with compassion, hope, and Christ-centered care.
