There are 2 million orphans in Russia, depending on the year, 4000 to 6000 come home to their adoptive families every year. This staggering gap shows that adoption alone will not solve this problem, as the Russian Government continues to struggle politically with International Adoption. This creates a terrible strain on an already weak support system for the children that remain in the orphanage system.
There are many simple ways that you can CONNECT and make a difference:
CONNECT with Kids - Come celebrate you child’s heritage at the CHSFS Polo Event, this will not only be a great networking event, but will also help support the CHSFS mission.
CONNECT with Families - Participate in the Connections Parent Group, build relationships with others that have adopted and share your experiences.
CONNECT to Giving - Go to www.cafepress.com/russiakids. A great place to buy gifts and support the Endowment.
CONNECT with Culture - Come to the Winter Party, have fun at the silent auction, enjoy the entertainment and children’s games.
As we continue to grow the Endowment the importance of a working partnership becomes more evident. Our relationship with CHSFS and their relationship with Russia are important in helping to understand each other. Help us continue to develop a strong bond with other families, CHSFS and Russia.
Thanks.
