The Kenya program has been very active this month, with one family who has a referral and two families who are close to receiving theirs! Two families are already living in Kenya and one more will be on their way shortly. Our families have enjoyed getting to know each other while in Kenya, offering support to each other as only co-adopting families can! The CAS Kenya program continues to actively recruit adventurous families who would be able to relocate to Kenya for a period of approximately 12 to 14 months for the purpose of adoption. For more information, please contact Robyn Miller.
July 2009
One of our families currently in process and living in Kenya had their child placed with them this month! They now begin the foster process. Congratulations! The Kenya program is a great program for families looking for a great cultural experience along with their adoption. The program requires the family to move to Kenya for a period of around a year in order to foster their child while the transition is monitored by Kenyan Social Workers who report to the Family Court Judge. What better way is there to learn about your child’s home country and culture? For more information on Carolina Adoption Services’ exciting program in Kenya, please contact Robyn Miller.
The Kenya program also continues to accept donations for our group of boys in Kenya who need ongoing support. If you are interested in donating to this cause, please contact us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who have shown an interest in supporting this cause or who have already donated.
June 2009
The Kenya program continues to be a good option for families who are looking for a great cultural adventure! Our partner, Little Angels Society, continues to assist our families while they are in Kenya for a period of about a year. The US Embassy and State Department officials in Kenya have done a wonderful job of training our Kenyan counterparts in the Hague process, so the transition there is moving smoothly. For more information on Carolina Adoption Services’ Kenya program, please contact Robyn Miller.
