- Since its inception, 93% (1167) of the children
who have visited the US as part of our Summer Miracles
program have found families who have adopted them
or are pursuing adoption.
- Last year, Kidsave’s Weekend Miracles program
helped place 26 children in permanent homes and matched
7 with mentors who are providing a connected, stable
relationship.
- Through our family mentoring program in Russia,
more than 165 children found permanent families in
2007
- On Sakhalin Island, 220 orphans have been connected
with family hosts/mentor and more than 25% of Sakhalin’s
institutionalized children (330) have moved out of
the orphanages and into families.
- As a result of Kidsave’s programs and training
of orphanage staff, the government of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk
was able to close three orphanages in 2007
- Orphan teenage mothers who were at risk of abandoning
their babies receive support through our Malenkaya
Mama program in St. Petersburg, Russia and for the
past two years 100% of the babies in the program have
continued to live with their mothers and not in orphanages.
- In 2007, just two years after Kidsave began raising
money and developing partnerships for the Encuentros
Milagrosos program, the Government of Colombia began
placing older orphans in host families in Bogota,
and the program experienced its first child moving
into an adoptive family.
