CRI is 13 years old and turns 14 during hosting this December. He’s active and social, loves running and sports, and enjoys time with his close group of friends. CRI has an especially sweet way with younger children and animals, and he responds well to encouragement from supportive adults.

We’re looking for a family to host CRI December 2 through 28 through our Host-to-Adopt Program. You can host with adoption in mind, or host to advocate for his adoption by another permanent, loving family. Colombia has extended the paperwork deadline, so there is still time to take the next step.

LAU dreams of studying chemical engineering one day, and she’s off to a strong start. She is 12 years old, first in her class, and loves math.

LAU is bright, outgoing, and empathetic, the kind of girl who notices when someone needs a friend. She skates, plays basketball, studies music, takes modeling classes, and enjoys a good game of chess. Her favorite food is Chinese fried rice, and if she could travel anywhere, she would choose Paris.

More than anything, LAU dreams of a loving family, and a cat would make it even better.

We’re hoping to find a family to host LAU this December 2 to 28 through our Host-to-Adopt Program, with adoption in mind. A few weeks of being loved and known could be the beginning of forever for her.

If you can’t host, you can still be part of LAU’s story. Please share this post and help us find the family who will call her their own.

CRI has made one thing clear: whatever comes next, he wants to face it alongside his brother. CRI is 13 and YOR is 11, and they are best friends who love nothing more than playing soccer together.

CRI is level-headed and a natural leader, gentle with younger kids and animals, and quick with math. He’s curious about photography and filming and dreams of traveling someday. YOR is easygoing and well-liked, a good friend who lights up over science and English. Both boys play accordion and guitar and love to paint.

More than anything, CRI and YOR hope for a family who will love them unconditionally.

We’re hoping to find a family who will welcome CRI and YOR into their home this December 2 to 28 through our Host-to-Adopt Program, with adoption in mind. A few weeks of being loved and known together could be the beginning of forever for these brothers.

If you can’t host, you can still be part of their story. Please share this post and help us find the family who will call them their own.

DAN is 12 years old, and school is one of his favorite places. He loves math and English, works hard for good grades, and lights up when he gets to talk about them.

The people who know DAN best describe him as affectionate, resilient, and responsible. He loves being active, laughing with friends, and sitting down to a good meal with people he cares about.

We’re hoping to find a family to welcome DAN into their hearts from December 2 to 28 through our Host-to-Adopt Program, with adoption in mind. A few weeks of love and belonging could be the beginning of forever for him!

If you can’t host, you can still be part of DAN’s story. Please share this post and help us find the family who will call him their own.

Fair warning: if there's music playing, REI is going to be dancing!

She's the newest kid in our hosting program. REI is 12 years old, and she's a joy to get to know. She makes friends easily with kids and adults alike, settles into new places without missing a beat, and treats everyone around her with kindness. Tell her there's a family outing coming up or a special dinner on the menu, and her smile says it all.

We're looking for a family to host REI this December 7–28, and hosting could be the first step toward the permanent family she deserves.
