2021 Summer Miracles Kids Arrival!

The Kids Are Here!

Our Summer Miracles Kids have arrived! After a long flight from Colombia, the kids arrived in the U.S. early Saturday morning filled with excitement (and maybe some nerves too.) Nerves were present on the other side of the arrivals hall as well as the Summer Miracles host families eagerly awaited the arrival.
All those nerves were soon replaced by smiles as the kids arrived in Los Angeles, New York, and Washington DC with our family communities out in force to welcome the kids. That first moment of seeing each other, that realization that this was happening, and those hurried runs towards open arms filled the arrival halls with joy time and time again across the country – and more than a few happy tears were shed.
As part of 39 kids traveling from Colombia, aged 6 – 16, this first Summer Miracles kids arrival kicks off a summer of new experiences, new places, and learning new things for the kids who are visiting communities across the U.S. Each child will be staying with their host families for five weeks over the summer as the families champion the kids, introducing them to their local communities to find them adoptive forever families.
Our successful Summer Miracles program sees over 80 percent of kids who travel find adoptive families — a success rate we’ve proudly maintained since launching the program in 1999.

This year our goal is for all 39 kids to find forever families!

To help and support our host family efforts, local community events are being held each weekend during the kids stay so that interested prospective families can meet the kids while they are here. From Los Angeles to New York, the community events are a great way to increase the chances of finding the kids forever families and an excellent way for the host families and kids to meet each other regularly and build that all-important support network.

If you have ever wondered about international adoption, now’s your chance to put those thoughts into action and meet the kids while they’re here. It’s a great way to get to know the kids in a laid-back and fun environment and start building a connection with them.
