Defendtheorphan.com was created to help serve the Christian community -- in Atlanta and in the World-Wide-World -- as we live-out God's mandate to protect and defend the fatherless.

The goal of the site is not so much to create an online-community, but rather, to be a tool online that would allow people with a passion for adoption (people in similar geographic areas and people in the same church congregations) to become a community.

• by creating an Adoption Network of people and churches (the adoption network)
• by providing a place for families to tell their story during the process (adoption blogs)
• by providing a place for families to tell their stories after the journey (adoption stories)
• by providing a centralized Adoption-Event calendar for different areas
