MEET THE KIDS HERE THIS YEAR
What prompted Kidsave's decision to do Summer Miracles in December?
Randi Thompson, President, CEO and Co-Founder says, “We just could NOT do it. We just couldn’t stand for kids who are available for adoption NOW to wait until next summer. We know that every day a child spends in an orphanage or in foster care is a day too long! There are children who need families and if we can find families to host them, we want to bring children now.”
Randi goes on to explain, it is well documented in the research that children lose about one month of development for every three months they live in an orphanage, so there really is no time to lose. People focus on this loss in development in babies, but it applies to the older kids we focus on too. It becomes harder and harder for kids to transition back into a family the longer they have been out.
How does this program differ from the summer program?
- The winter program is three weeks vs. our five week summer program.
- It differs because with the program being shorter, we can’t have all the community advocacy events we hold during summer. Thus, hosts for the winter program are families who are hopeful that their time spent together with their host child will lead to adoption.
- You don’t have to live in one of our Summer Miracles communities to host during December if your goal is to adopt.
People who are working full time, and cannot take time off while the kids are here, may want to wait for the summer to host. We are building great summer communities now! We are actively recruiting NOW in our communities for summer hosts. Schedule a call, to learn more!
Kidsave, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity, helps older children and teens living in U.S. residential facilities, foster homes, group homes, and orphanages overseas, find loving parents and lifelong mentors through our unique Family Visit Model. A volunteer driven-effort, Kidsave works with governments and communities worldwide to see that no orphan or foster child is forgotten, and every child grows up in a family with love and hope for a successful future.
