Sarah’s journey began years ago when a young child was dropped off at her front door. She studied the law and eventually was able to secure sole custody of the child.
Her experiences over the years have given her an expert level of knowledge on issues of abandonment and child services.
Sarah is vibrant, encouraging and caring toward others. She has a passion to help people of all ages and backgrounds. I highly recommend Sarah for her work with Hope Box.

Sarah Koeppen, a child advocate who works diligently
to fight against sex trafficking of infants, recently published her debut book: “Called to Hope: The Story of Sarah
Koeppen, founder of The Hope Box, Inc.” This galvanizing memoir showcases her powerful connection to God
and dedication to becoming the mother of a child who was abandoned on her doorstep. Koeppen started her
foundation, The Hope Box, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit, after going through the difficult process of adopting her child,
Elijah.
“Elijah was abandoned at the age of three, which marked the beginning of me finding out how big all the issues are
concerning children in this country,” said Koeppen. “I started The Hope Box, Inc. to support mothers with adoption
resources, so children have their best chance for a great life.”
The Hope Box, Inc. helps connect babies with forever families and prevents infant abandonment, so children can
be fully nurtured. This organization helps at-risk mothers and babies who are under the age of three by providing
them with legal, public safety, and medical resources.
In her memoir, Koeppen shares how she was instrumental in amending the Georgia Safe Haven law (House Bill
291) in 2017. With this bill, public places such as health departments, hospitals, fire departments, and police
stations became Safe Haven facilities in Georgia and the mother could now have the ability to decide whether she
would like to leave her information with them. According to The Hope Box, Inc. website, 4,002 lives have been
saved due to this law.
“Called to Hope” highlights stories filled with hope and the grace of God and explains how The Hope Box, Inc.
supports mothers and children with adoption resources, lobbying for legislation, and the prevention of child sex
trafficking. This eye-opening book can inspire readers to do a better job of taking care of our nation’s children.
