When you think about adoption, what do you think of? Do you picture a teenager? While teenagers may not be the first thing that come to mind when you think about adoption, the reality is there are thousands of teenagers waiting to be adopted from foster care. Our Weekend Miracles program connects older kids in foster care with caring adults in their community for mentoring and adoption. You can participate in our Weekend Miracles program in LA, Houston, and our newest location, Virginia!

Kidsave® is about creating change for children the world has forgotten.
About us
At Kidsave, we are driven by the simple belief that every child, everywhere, deserves to grow up with the support of a loving, caring family. For older kids in foster care, scared of aging out alone, this can sometimes feel like an impossible wish. We’re here to change that. With your support, our innovative programs both here and abroad give older kids in foster care a voice and a choice in who they get to know and who will ultimately become their forever family. And with an estimated 8 million children living in institutional care worldwide and more than 440,000 children in foster care here in the U.S., the need has never been greater. Join us in becoming a champion for older kids in care. Spread the word, lend a hand, become a mentor, a host, or adoptive family and let’s give all kids the chance to thrive in loving, supportive homes.

"From the moment we met Aura, our connection was easy and natural. It just felt right.” Dan and Marla hosted Aura through Kidsave's Summer Miracles program in 2017 when she was 12 years old. They had an amazing summer together filled with a lot of firsts for Aura. That summer was just the beginning of their journey together as a family. Visit kidsave.org/aura-of-love/ to read Aura's adoption story and visit https://lnkd.in/gr5Z32Gi to learn more about the Summer Miracles program! #kidsave #adoption #summermiracles #colombia #adoptionjourney

Through the Insperity Community Heroes program, I have the privilege of recognizing inspiring organizations like Kidsave. Led by Randi Thompson, Kidsave helps orphaned and foster children find loving families. Randi and her team were chosen for their life-changing mission to connect children with families, giving them the support and love they need to thrive. I’m inspired by Kidsave's work and the profound impact they are making on so many lives. #InsperityCommunityHeores #HRThatMakesADifference https://lnkd.in/geZD-Q_a

Over 50% of the youth in foster care waiting to be adopted in Virginia are ages 9 or older (AFCARS, 2022). According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the majority of children adopted from foster care are ages 0 to 5, and the odds of a child being adopted drop with each year they get older. That's why at Kidsave we work hard on behalf of older kids in foster care who are so often overlooked and forgotten. We are so excited to be bringing our life-changing Weekend Miracles program to Virginia this winter, and we want you to be a part of it!

Preparations are in full swing for our annual MiracleMakers Golf Classic which will be in the Los Angeles area on October 21, and we're so grateful to have the leadership of our Golf Committee chair, Cathy McHale. Cathy McHale, is a leader in the commercial building industry and is chairing the Golf Committee for the second year in a row. Cathy also has a very special connection to Kidsave because she met her two amazing daughters through the Summer Miracles program, which brings older kids in foster care from Colombia to the U.S. to connect them with potential adoptive families. Cathy says, "I am proud to be working with Kidsave to help make these connections for other families." We are honored to have Cathy onboard helping plan our golf tournament, and it's sure to be a spectacular event! The tournament will feature a beautiful course, a cocktail party, live and silent auctions, and most importantly, proceeds from the tournament allow us to continue our life-changing work.
