your web page states:

What happens to the kids when the six weeks are up?
At the end of the program, the children must return home to their orphanages with the escorts. Families who wish to adopt will then work with their local agency to complete their paperwork and adopt the child. Kidsave International continues to advocate for all children who haven’t found families, until they find permanent homes. The time required to complete the adoption will vary depending on how soon parents commit to make the adoption, and how quickly they are able to complete the necessary steps.


So it sounds like you still have to have the parents go over to Russia? This just adds to your expenses doesn't it? Why not just get the airline miles to take the parents over that know they want to adopt? Seems like this would be a little easier to do than bring the children over here for six weeks just to send them back? Or have I read your site incorrectly? It seems that the airlines might be more apt to help fly someone over that was getting a child for sure rather than a child that has to go back.
Just some of my thoughts. I think that anything that will help get the kids out of the orphanages is a great thing.
