Kidsave Summer Miracles® provides kids ages 10-13, who are growing up in orphanages or foster care overseas, an opportunity to stay with families for five weeks during the summer. Host families and Kidsave volunteers introduce the children to people interested in adoption. These children have typically been forgotten in orphanages overseas and are overlooked for adoption simply because they are older. During their stay the children enjoy summer camps, parties and meeting new people while host families, Kidsave staff and dedicated volunteers work diligently to find adoptive families for all the children.
