Adoption and Advocacy with Amanda Root

  • Summary

  • In this installment of the Doing Good podcast, we’ll meet Amanda Root. She is a mother, wife, and the founder and executive director of the Middle Tennessee non-profit, Hope’s Bridge.

    The vision of the organization began in Amanda’s own family when they decided to adopt their two youngest children. Through that process, she felt called to use the knowledge and experience she had gained to help other kids like hers.

    Today, Hope’s Bridge is a trail blazing non-profit that helps to keep kids out of state custody. They do this by finding temporary placements when needed and facilitating adoptions.

    Amanda says that Hope’s Bridge aims to “remove monetary value from God’s children.” Their foster families do not receive financial compensation, and Hope’s Bridge does not get any money from adoption fees. Amanda is so passionate about this value, in fact, that she does most of her work for Hope’s Bridge on a volunteer basis. The unlikely model seems to be working as Hope’s Bridge continues to expand to serve Tennessee. Listen to learn more about this phenomenal woman and the work that she does.
