Thank you for believing!
Through your support, Kidsave's life-changing programs continue to create adoption success stories for kids in the U.S. and overseas. And the presence of family, key adult role models in their corner, continues to change the trajectory of these kids' lives. Instead of facing the world alone and aging out of the foster care system, kids like Pedro are growing up with stability, unwavering support, love, and encouragement.
Since his adoption, Pedro's been excelling in school, becoming a student leader, and enjoying precious memories with his mom and dad. And his parents, Courtney and Michael, are reaping the priceless rewards of having a son to call their own.
Thank you for believing in what we do and in the power of family to change lives.
