Orphan Hosting Program

We are still in search for five families to host an orphan from Ethiopia next summer. The children will be staying 3-4 weeks in hopes of finding them a forever family. They range in age from 8-13, boys and girls, and are all available for adoption. This however, does not mean you have to adopt them in order to host them, you just have to be willing to advocate on their behalf to everyone who will listen. The last time Welcoming Angels did their hosting program, 9 out of the 10 children found homes! If you have ever considered adopting from Africa, this is a great way to have a child stay with you for a few weeks and see if they are a good fit for your family. Then if so, you would travel to Ethiopia after your paperwork is completed to bring the child you hosted back home.

So whether you have considered international adoption or not, as long as you have a heart for these children, this program is for YOU and we need YOU! We must have at least five families available for the program to happen (and we really want to see it happen). If you are interested, there is a free pre-application that we need you to fill out as soon as possible. After that, the official application is due in February. The cost to host is around $2500 and will be due in the spring, right around tax refund time (hint, hint...). It's that simple! If you are at all interested, or if there are questions I can answer for you, please email me at salvadorfamily4@kermantel.net.
