Church Participation Form

By filling out and submitting the form below, our church commits itself to participate in the recruitment efforts of the One Church, One Child Program. These recruitment efforts will be designed to increase the awareness of the plight of the disproportionate number of African American children who reside in "out of home care" in Maryland.

As Pastor, I will appoint a Host Church Coordinator whose main responsibilities are to:

1. Make periodic OCOC presentations.
2. Act as internal resource to provide adoption information to interested families.
3. Maintain and distribute current One Church, One Child Program and adoption literature.
4. Be available for ongoing training by One Church One Child Staff.
5. Refer any families who have an interest in adoption or foster care to a One Church, One Child representative at Department of Human Resources, Social Service Administration.

I further understand that there is no formal financial obligation inferred by our church's commitment to the One Church, ONe Child Program.
