Sunshine in the Home
“Walking with young lives from hardship into purpose and belonging” 

Picture
 We are a family.
What began with welcoming orphaned and abandoned infants and children into our home has grown into something far deeper—a place where those same children are now becoming young men and women of faith, purpose, and resilience.
They are no longer defined by loss.
They are sons and daughters.
Here, life is shared—through faith, work, learning, and love—preparing each one for a future filled with meaning and service.
From Rescue to Family
The Adams family first opened their home to receive orphaned, abandoned, and vulnerable children—many arriving as infants in need of care, stability, and love.
Over time, this calling grew beyond the walls of a single home. Sunshine Orchard Learning Center was established to provide education, structure, and opportunity for children and youth along the Thailand–Myanmar border.
Today, Sunshine Orchard is faithfully led by the Adams’ youngest daughter and her husband, continuing the mission of education and outreach.
Meanwhile, the Adams family has returned their full focus to what has always been at the heart of it all - the home. 

A Place to Belong
Sunshine in the Home - is not an institution.
It is a living, growing family.
Many who came as vulnerable infants and children are no longer small. They are now students, workers, leaders, and young adults preparing for their future.
Here, they are not defined by their past.
They are received as sons and daughters.
Daily life is shared together—learning responsibility, supporting one another, growing in faith, and building a foundation for life.
Within this home, each one is nurtured in the knowledge and love of the Lord Jesus Christ, while being equipped practically, spiritually, and relationally for the years ahead.

A Life of Growth and Preparation
Our approach remains holistic:
Academic – Vocational – Spiritual – Physical
But this is more than a framework—it is a way of life.
Growth happens daily through:
  • Worship and time with God
  • Shared responsibilities and chores
  • Education and study
  • Work and practical skill-building
  • Serving one another and the community
It is in these ordinary, faithful rhythms that lives are shaped, character is formed, and purpose begins to take root.

Education with Purpose
Education continues to play a vital role in every young person’s journey.
At Sunshine Orchard Learning Center, children and youth receive a well-rounded education that prepares them not only academically, but for lives marked by responsibility, service, and faith.
The home and the school work hand in hand—providing both the foundation of family and the tools for the future.
From Then to NowWhat began with fragile beginnings has grown into lives filled with promise.
  • Infants once unable to thrive are now strong and capable
  • Children once without stability now lead, serve, and give back
  • Young people are pursuing education, developing skills, and stepping into purpose
This is not short-term care.
This is lifelong transformation.

Serving Beyond the Home
As a family, we are also committed to serving others.
Through our Helping Hands Ministry, we reach out to those in extreme poverty, the disabled—including landmine victims—and widows in distress.
Our young people are part of this mission—learning to serve with compassion, humility, and love.
