I received some additional information this morning about the hosting program that I want to share with you all. It has been confirmed that the children will be coming from Ethiopia. They will be boys ages 8-14, girls ages 10-14, and maybe some sibling sets. They will be staying in Fresno for 3-4 weeks next July and are all adoptable! The last hosting event Welcoming Angels did was with 10 children from Ethiopia and of those, 9 have been adopted! You do NOT need to want to adopt to host a child, but you do have to advocate for the child! Some of the 9 I mentioned were not adopted by their host families, they were adopted by neighbors and friends that fell in love with them! We can make this happen in Fresno, at NorthPointe! How amazing would it be to have 10 little Ethiopian children running around NP and then placed in their forever families?!
I was originally told the costs would be up to $3500 but was told today that it will be more like $2500 and she is trying to get the costs lower! That is great news! One of the ways to get the costs even lower is to find a doctor and dentist to treat these children pro bono if they become ill or there's an emergency, so that it lessens the costs of insurance for the children. So if anyone knows of anyone who may be interested in volunteering their services, please let me know. Also, if any of you are interested in hosting, please let me know as soon as possible. We need a minimum of 5 families to host...let's make this happen NorthPointe!
