The RODS Heroes Mission

RODS Heroes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that inspires families to answer the call to adopt children with Down syndrome or other unique circumstances. Discover how you can engage with our mission and join us in bringing even more children home.

CONSIDER ADOPTION

MEET JAMES

James is 12 years old, very fun, outgoing, social, and has the best smile! He has an incredible story. Last summer, he visited Utah, and everyone fell in love with him and his fun spirit. It was difficult to see James go back to the orphanage, but we are on a mission to find him his forever family.

James has so much potential and needs a family to help him sing the song he was meant to sing – as we say here at RODS Heroes. James is very outgoing, affectionate, and active. He has a big heart and is ready to join his forever family.

Inspiring Families To Answer The Call To Adopt

Every moment counts. Countless children worldwide face the risk of dying or aging out of the system without finding an adoptive home, depriving them of the chance to share their light, talent, and experiences with a loving family. RODS Heroes believes that all children are valuable and actively encourages families to step up and make a difference by answering the call to help this crucial cause.

Cooper's Mission

Cooper Murray, who has Down syndrome, was abandoned on a street corner in a city of 14 million people at 6 months old. His life took a miraculous turn when at four years old he was adopted into a loving family. 

Today he is singing the song he is meant to sing by inspiring the world to open their hearts to adoption as he throws the Ceremonial First Pitch at MLB stadiums across the nation. 

He and RODS Heroes are on a mission to help 30 orphaned kids with Down syndrome or other unique circumstances find their forever family- one pitch at a time.
