Since 2004, Buckner Orphan Care International has called on Christian families and singles to host Russian orphans when the children visit the United States. The program seeks to allow the children to share their Russian cultural heritage, experience life in a loving home and raise awareness about adoption of older children living in Russian orphanages.
We still have single children and sibling groups ages 4-12 that need host-to-adopt families!
We are still taking applications and looking for home-study ready families for this summer's program. Please contact Lyndee Kiesling at lkiesling@buckner.org.
The Second Angel
Adoptive parents who ‘weren’t looking’ find place in their heart for second Russian child
Adoptive parents Jim and Susan Yarbrough never thought they’d adopt another child after their 2003 adoption of Vitaly from Russia. But then they hosted an Angel.
The Yarbroughs, parents of Kelly, 19, a freshman at Austin College in Sherman, Texas, and Vitaly, now 9, were committed to international adoption and wanted to promote international adoption through Buckner. To that end, they agreed to host a child living in a Russian orphanage during the 2004 Angels from Abroad program. [more]
