LOUISIANA CHILDREN'S HOME IN FOCUS

1920-2010 SELLERS MATERNITY MINISTRIES

"NINETY YEARS OF OFFERING A FUTURE AND A HOPE"

Sellers Maternity Ministries was founded in 1920 as the Baptist Woman’s Emergency Home in New Orleans.

The ministry became affiliated with the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention in 1933 and the name was changed to Baptist Women’s Home.

The ministry was renamed Sellers Baptist Maternity Home and Adoption Center in 1961 in honor of Dr. Thomas B. Sellers, a New Orleans obstetrician who had volunteered his services there for 33 years. On July 31, 1964, the Sellers Home placed its 1000th baby for adoption.
