Our Story
A journey of faith, compassion, and unwavering commitment to children in need
How It All Began
Eddie & Judy Getts — A Legacy of Love
Eddie and Judy Getts built their family on something deeper than blood. They built it on faith, compassion, and a calling to give children a real home filled with love. Throughout their lives, Eddie and Judy adopted five children, welcoming each one with open arms and the same devotion they gave to their three biological children.
They didn't simply grow their family.
They transformed their entire family.
Their home became a safe and steady place where every child, no matter their background or struggles, could discover stability, hope, and a sense of belonging. Eddie and Judy lived out James 1:27 with quiet strength, proving that genuine love is choosing someone day after day even when it asks something of you.
Each adoption was more than a moment.
It was a choice rooted in courage and faith.
It was a choice that shaped the future of every child they welcomed.
The opportunities these children gained, the identity they built, the love they experienced, and the life paths they were able to follow are all tied to Eddie and Judy saying yes when others might have stepped back.
Their story is not just part of Pure Heart for Kids.
It is the heart of the entire mission.
This organization exists because their legacy deserves to continue. Their example of compassion is the inspiration behind every resource we provide, every family we support, and every child we aim to help.
Pure Heart for Kids stands as a tribute to Eddie and Judy Getts.
A tribute to their love, their courage, their faith, and their lifelong dedication to children who deserved a chance to belong.
Their lives remind us that one family, filled with God's love, can change the world one child at a time.

To connect vulnerable children with loving, Christ-centered families through compassionate support, comprehensive resources, and unwavering faith. We exist to make adoption accessible, understandable, and spiritually enriching for every family God calls to this journey.
Our Vision
To see every child in need find a permanent, loving family. Starting in Indiana, we're building a network of faith-driven adoption support that will expand across the nation, creating a movement where the Church leads the way in caring for orphans and transforming lives.
Our Values
These principles guide everything we do and shape how we serve families and children.
Faith-Centered
Christ is at the heart of everything we do. We pray with families, lean on scripture, and trust God's timing and plan.
Compassionate
We meet families where they are with empathy, patience, and understanding, knowing adoption is both joyful and challenging.
Trustworthy
We operate with integrity, transparency, and accountability in all our relationships and financial stewardship.
Educational
We empower families with knowledge, resources, and training to navigate adoption confidently and successfully.
Child-Focused
Every decision we make prioritizes the best interests, safety, and well-being of the children we serve.

Our Statement of Faith
The biblical foundation that guides our ministry
God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—Creator of heaven and earth, sovereign over all.
Scripture
We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God, our ultimate authority for faith and life.
Salvation
We believe salvation is a gift of grace through faith in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again.
The Church
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, called to worship, fellowship, and serve—including caring for orphans and widows.
Our Calling
We believe God calls His people to reflect His heart by caring for the vulnerable, defending the fatherless, and loving sacrificially—as demonstrated in James 1:27, Psalm 68:5-6, and throughout Scripture.
How We Serve
We provide comprehensive support for families at every stage of the adoption journey.
Education & Resources
We offer workshops, informational sessions, downloadable guides, and a comprehensive resource library to help families understand the adoption process from start to finish.
Guidance & Support
Our team walks alongside families, answering questions, providing encouragement, and connecting them with licensed agencies and professionals.
Community Building
We create spaces for adoptive families to connect, share experiences, and support one another through events, support groups, and online communities.
Church Partnerships
We partner with churches to equip congregations to support adoptive families, raise awareness, and mobilize the body of Christ to care for orphans.
Post-Adoption Care
Our support doesn't end at placement. We continue to provide resources, counseling referrals, and community for families as they navigate life after adoption.
