Family Hope 2006-2007
Here is How You Can Get Involved in Family Hope
Family Hope Advocate Family Planning to Adopt
As a Family Hope Advocate Family Planning to Adopt you will be involved in caring for a child (or children, if you desire to adopt more than one child) for up to three weeks. Responsibilities will include providing a loving and nurturing home, parental guidance, helping to arrange and participating in an IFS sponsored day-camp program and weekend events, and communicating with International Family Services in the form of weekly reports. Other responsibilities are detailed in the Family Hope Advocate Family Manual provided to all approved Family Hope Advocate families.
Family Hope Advocate Family NOT Planning to Adopt
Advocate Families Not Planning to Adopt are families who are willing to provide a home and care for a Family Hope child. Responsibilities are the same as the Family Hope Advocate Family Planning to Adopt (above), and include introducing the child to prospective adoptive families. Many families will be exposed to the children through local media coverage and word of mouth. The goal is for every child to be adopted.
Family Hope Fan Club - Translators, Promoters and Consultants
If you know someone who speaks Russian (maybe yourself), please encourage them to give up a little of their time during the three weeks the children are in the U.S. If you or someone you know is well connected with the media, please help us promote Family Hope through local radio, newspaper, and television. If you are a doctor, psychologist, or counselor please consider offering your services to a local Family Hope Team or make your phone number available in cases of emergency.
Become a Family Hope Sponsor
In order for Family Hope to succeed, we need sponsors, those who have the financial means to change the course of a child's life. We know that if we can get them to the U.S. there is high probability we will find homes for these children. Your gift could be a child's last hope for a family. Contact us if you are able to help in this special way.
