Hosting an older Latvian child

July 22, 2008

Has anyone hosted a Latvian child before adopting? My husband and I are looking seriously at hosting through New Horizons for Children this Christmas (for 5 weeks). One of our concerns is the cost of the adoption following and all of the travel!

Just interested if anyone here has hosted and how it went. Thanks!

Hi,

We too are looking at the New Horizon's Christmas program. I have found many blogs of people who have hosted and adopted children as a result.

We hosted our son through NHFC last summer (and Christmas), had our first court date in April of this year and he was a US citizen (after our 3rd trip) and 'officially' our son in August. We are thrilled with him - he is an awesome kid!! He was 13 when we started the process and hosted him and is 14 now. We could not be happier with him! Feel free to ask any questions.
