Become a Host Family for a Child Waiting in Colombia
Children’s Home partners with Kidsave to help older children from Colombia experience the joys of summer and to help them find permanent, loving, adoptive families through their Summer Miracles®Program. Children stay with host families for 4 to 5 weeks during the summer in designated communities throughout the United States. Generally, the children range in age from 10 to 14. Some may have siblings.
While the children stay here, they learn about the U.S. culture, experience life in an American family, and build lasting relationships with caring adults. As a host family, you’ll work with the local Kidsave community to help the children meet potential adoptive families. Some families move forward to adopt the children they host.
This program can be a great option for experienced parents and for those who are not sure if full-time parenting through international adoption is the right fit.
We are here to guide families through their required education, prepare their hosting assessments, support them during the summer visit, and help families who choose to move forward to adopt children who participated in the program.
Should your hosting experience turn into adoption, we can assist you through our Colombia adoption program.
