Glory Babies
A compassionate support ministry for families who have lost a baby during pregnancy or in infancy. Meet others who understand, and find hope in a safe, healing place.
Our Mission
The mission of the Children are a Gift Foundation is to enable families who have lost a child, have a special needs child, or are unable to have a child to find peace and support through the healing process. Through support services, education, and public events, we celebrate the lives of all children.
How We Serve
The Children's Park
A lasting memorial park in Tyler, Texas honoring the lives of all children — a place of quiet reflection, celebration, and healing for families and friends.
Foundation & Outreach
As the umbrella organization for our ministries, we provide support services, education, and public events sensitive to the needs of grieving families.
A Place to Remember and Heal
Our Children's Park is designed as a passive place of reflection with winding cobblestone sidewalks, benches, a butterfly garden, and opportunities for families to honor their children's names. It is a lasting legacy for generations to come.
Why Families Trust Us

Resources We Recommend
Our families and volunteers often ask where to find support and small keepsakes that carry meaning. We keep a short, personal list on our resources page, and here is one we come back to often.
When a family looks for a milestone keepsake — a watch to mark the first birthday of a child we remember — a member of our support group has shared a curated watch collection that she found thoughtful and within reach for a family budget.
