Description: Kidsave finds older children for adoption families through weekend and summer hosting programs. Older foster kids have hope with Kidsave.
There are nearly 120,000 kids waiting for adoption at any given time in the U.S., according to the Administration for Children and Families. There are an additional 2 million children eligible for adoption in the world, according to UNICEF. Research shows that a child is most likely to be adopted during the first nine years of their life. After their tenth birthday, they are considered an “older child,” and their odds of being adopted dramatically decrease.
We believe that every child deserves a family, but without action, thousands of older kids will continue to grow up in care, unsupported, without the love and safety of family.
Kidsave exists to change that. Our innovative programs are designed to create opportunities for older children in foster care to be seen, find family, and thrive. We currently operate in four nations: the U.S., Ukraine, Colombia, and Sierra Leone.
