Because Only Together We Can

Supporting Adoptive, Kinship, Foster Families In Need

Every adoption journey and child story is unique. We don’t want to sugarcoat it. There are successes and failures. There are trials and errors. There are ups and downs. There are weaknesses and strengths.  We want everyone to be real so we can help connect them with the support, resources, and fellowship that they need. Rooted Hearts Ministry’s goal is to connect the families that may need some help with the people that are willing and able to provide services.

Who We Are

We, the Hatleys, are a family formed by God.  We are a true creation of His.  We are a true blended family.  Through the foster care system we adopted 4 children and have 3 biological.

Mission

Support, connect, and educate adoptive families as we launch young adults into social service careers. 

Vision

Acknowledge their past, see them in their present, and love them into their future as we become rooted together through Jesus Christ.
