Welcome to the web site for Stephen's Hope Foundation

It was Stephen's hope that every child would be able to live outside of an institution in the arms of someone who loves them - no matter what!

We don't know what brought you here today - a need for strength and support, a desire to advocate for children and families affected with special needs, a curiosity about the life and experiences of a boy named Stephen, Mr. Big Shot - but we trust that God has directed you here for a purpose.

On these pages we share the lessons God taught a mother and son through our life together. Lessons about the Perception of Value and the desire to Celebrate Life. What we have learned, we willingly share with you.  We at Stephen's Hope know that you will find hope and unconditional love on these pages.

Thank you for visiting and becoming a friend of Stephen's Hope.
