16 Kids, One Brother’s Sacrifice

This summer Lifeline had sixteen kids come to the US for two weeks through the international hosting program, most of whom had already been passed over by families both in Colombia and abroad. On this episode of The Defender, Karla shares what happens from the airport arrival to the hard goodbye, including the story of two brothers where the older boy gave up his own shot at adoption so his little brother could find a family. Six of these sixteen kids still need forever families. Watch the full episode to learn how you can advocate for them, even if adoption isn’t the next step for your family.
