Kidsave’s Summer Miracles
Program brings orphaned children from foreign countries to the USA
to enjoy a summer with a family. These are older, forgotten children,
ages 5 through 13, who have little or no chance of finding adoptive
parents in their own country.
When you host a Summer Miracles child in your home, the rewards are
many. You’ll get to know an orphaned child and enjoy a rich
cultural experience as you introduce your host child to fun, new
experiences, as well as new people – all with the goal of helping
him or her find an adoptive family.
We know from experience that these visits make miracles happen.
Since 1999, more than 1400 children have traveled to the US as part
of our Summer Miracles program, and 93% of them have found families
who have adopted them or are pursuing adoption.
Many others have found ongoing support to help them become productive
adults in their native countries.
This summer, Kidsave will bring children from Colombia and Taiwan
who are living in orphanages to communities across the U.S. If you
have room in your heart and home, consider supporting Kidsave and
hosting a child.
Summer Miracles communities and locations
A Summer Miracles community consists of local families who together
commit to hosting children for five weeks during the summer. Host
families also help raise funds, organize events and advocate
for adoption through local media and community organizations. Volunteers
become mentors or provide medical, translation, event planning and
many other services.
Kidsave provides training and support to participating families.
We collaborate with social workers, home study agencies, child welfare
advocates, health professionals and government officials to find
safe, appropriate families for children with none.
