Michigan Families Sought to Host and Adopt Russian Orphans

The Russian Orphan Lighthouse Project, a Michigan ministry based in Ann Arbor, MI in cooperation with Alliance for Adoption and International Adoption Guides, LLC. is bringing 14 orphans, ages 7-14 years old to the greater Ann Arbor, Michigan area July 2-11,2004. The Project is in search of host families interested to host the orphans, who have a serious mindset towards international adoption.

(PRWEB) March 24, 2004 -- Started more than 6 years ago, The Lighthouse Project, has brought more than 100 Russian orphans to the US, resulting in most of the children being adopted. The children, who speak no English, are accompanied by an orphanage official and a translator. Daily vacation bible school and other activities are planned for the group. There is a $600 fee per child hosted to partially cover the children's transportation expenses. One parent must agree to be at home full-time during the 10 day visit. Families living in other parts of the US are welcome to host if they are willing to come to the Ann Arbor area and stay in a motel or be hosted by Lighthouse Project members.

The group is also seeking donations for the orphans, from cold medicine and toothbrushes to quilts, sweaters, coats, shoes, and gently used suitcases. Financial aid is also appreciated and will be donated back to the orphanages.
