Host to Adopt an older child from Ukraine
Partners for Adoption is actively looking for host families for our Ukraine Summer Camp. In June of this upcoming year (2009) we will be bringing ten children between the ages of 8 and 12 to the U.S. for three weeks of fun filled vacation. The children and their host families will get to know one another while taking part in a variety of planned group activities that include outings to local zoos, parks, museums, and beaches. If you are interested in hosting a child or would like more details about our program please contact Cara at 925-946-9658 or cara@partnersforadoption.org.

Russian adoption program raising scholarship fund for families in need
Partners for Adoption is working on raising a small fund for grants to adoptive parents wanting to adopt from Russia. The fund, which will be named the Lucy Revutsky Grant fund, is intended to offer a $1,000 grant to eligible families who wish to adopt from Russia. Named after Diana Revutsky's mother, the fund is meant to aid families and commemorate Lucy Revutsky's life-long commitment to helping those less fortunate.
"My mother was an extremely kind person," said Diana Revutsky, PFA International Director. "Many times, when she had very little money, she would give all her savings to help a friend's child have an operation, or provide clothes for a family acquaintance." Please contact Jennifer Press directly if you would like to make a donation: jen@partnersforadoption.org.
