Summer Miracles Kids Arrival! Our communities came out to welcome the kids, it was a moment of joy for all - and more than a few happy tears were shed.
For Stephen McCall, his close bond with his mother, his family and friends were always enough. He was perfectly content with his life as it was, until a trip to Colombia changed everything.
"Kidsave allowed me to learn new things and have a life," reflects Angela. "Kidsave gave me a chance to meet my parents, go to college and find my way in this world..."
In 2013, Colleen and Jason Bosley began their adoption journey by taking part in Kidsave's Summer Miracles program. Looking through the Kids Gallery...
Jimy didn’t have an easy start. Born with toxoplasmosis Jimmy grew up losing his central vision, living in a Colombian orphanage for the blind for six years of his young childhood. That was until he accepted the chance of a lifetime to travel to the United States and participate in Kidsave's Summer Miracles program.
“Kidsave has changed my life... from meeting all the kids during the events to finding Mafe,” says Linda. “I feel like Kidsave is a second family to me. Kidsave made it possible for us to meet and changed Mafe’s future."
On the mantle of the Coleman family home sits a framed photograph of hope and new beginnings. It's a photo of Tom and Jessie Coleman with their new son, Nicolas, age 12, taken as the Colemans first met Nicolas through 2019 Kidsave Summer Miracles. Recently, they picked up Nicolas in Colombia and brought him to his forever home in time to enjoy the holidays together.
As this forever family celebrates their journey to their first Holiday season, we wish them all the happiness and love of family and look forward to watching them experience many, many more 'firsts' together.
During a pandemic, now more than ever it is essential to connect Kidsave’s foster youth and Colombian kids with loving and supportive families interested in hosting, mentoring, and adoption.
