As I'm sure most of you know, our family was introduced to Olga through a Christian hosting program that brings orphans from Eastern Europe to America. We are very fortunate to be able to host Olga over Christmas this year as we will not be far enough along in the adoption process to travel to her country before the end of this year. While Olga is spoken for, there are well over 150 orphans who still need host families. If you or someone you know has thought about being a host family, now is the time to act! The deadline to sign up to host a Latvian child is October 21. The deadline for Russian orphan sign up is November 1, while the Ukraine orphan sign up is November 7. The deadline for Estonia has not yet been announced.
Please trust me when I say that even if you have no intention of adopting, this experience will change your life! By clicking on the link below and filling out a very short online form you will be given access to the photo listing of available orphans. The access is not immediate as the request must be approved.

There are many orphans who have scholarships placed on them. This means that the hosting fees you would normally pay will be reduced by the amount of the scholarship.
If you would like to speak with me directly about our experience, please e-mail me with your contact information and I will be happy to speak with you!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Rebekah! Olga was very insistent that we have family portraits made while she was here this summer. I am so thankful for that!
