Help an Orphan Meet a Forever Family

Know someone who wants to adopt?

Culver City-based Kidsave is hosting an adoption advocacy event from 1-4 p.m. this Sunday at Hermosa Beach Rotary Club, 2521 Valley Dr. Hermosa Beach, CA. 

The kids just arrived from Colombia on July 2 and are hoping for a summer miracle, to find permanent families who would like to adopt them. Each child is matched with host families in various areas of Southern California. 

During the summer, Kidsave helps them meet prospective families through advocacy events and outings in a safe and fun environment. Hopefully this will be their summer for a miracle!

The clock is ticking - just two weeks left to find these kids homes! The So Cal Kidsave community is made up of volunteers and coordinators who work tirelessly to find these and other older orphans permanent families. Please contact Delta or Lauren for information or assistance. 310 310-642-7283  deltak@kidsave.org

About Kidsave Kidsave works to create change so older forgotten orphanage and foster kids grow up in families and connected to caring adults. Children cannot raise themselves. Without families, the odds are against them growing into productive citizens and the loss to society is devastating. They are prime candidates for trafficking, prostitution, terrorists and becoming child soldiers.The loss of human potential is incalculable. With family support, most of these children can lead happy, productive lives. They have tremendous ability to be contributing members of society. This is the work of Kidsave — to create change so forgotten orphanage and foster kids are found — and connected to families and caring adults.
