These were the children the world had truly forgotten the ones with no hope for any kind of future. These children needed a miracle. So Terry and Randi teamed up to make that miracle happen and founded Kidsave, a hosting program for orphans. In the summer of , Kidsave gave older orphanage children summer vacations in the US with American families. It was a miracle for these children. Kidsave success stories about families hosting an orphan in their home and then eventually adopting that child all children must return to their countries after hosting.
They cannot be adopted during the hosting program are common. For most children who come to the USA for a summer or winter hosting experience, this is truly their only opportunity to find a permanent family. However, it is not just the children who will benefit, but you and your entire family. The hosting experience will affect you in many ways — dispel any fears about adopting an older child, teach your children a valuable lesson in compassion, expose your friends and family to the orphan crisis, and give you the opportunity to have an integral role in orphan advocacy.
Your family will provide a loving and nurturing environment exposing the child ren to family life. After the designated time, all children return to the orphanage with a rewarding educational experience. For most of these children, it will be first time that they have experienced what it feels like to be a part of a family. The main goal of this program is ultimately to improve the health, education, and general welfare of orphaned children in our programs.
These children have often been raised in institutions and have little experience with a family or with the benefits of life in the United States. Most children in orphanages were born to poor families or single mothers, or they have been abandoned or were taken from birth parents due to neglect or abuse. All children are influenced by life in an institution. They will have developmental delays that may affect their speech, motor skills, cognitive functioning, and physical growth.
Children may also exhibit institutional behavior such as rocking or other self-stimulating activities. Madison recommends families to take every precaution in their family to ensure not only the safety of the host child, but of all household members. We will help you prepare!
In general, the children who participate in the hosting program have a good prognosis for a healthy future if provided with the love, support, and treatment they need to overcome the challenges they face prior to adoption.
Host programs will each have eligibility requirements for families, which will at a minimum require that all adults in the host-home have a criminal background check and go through a host-preparation program.
