Orphan Care Summer Tours

Every year Nightlight brings children to Southern California from orphanages overseas. In past years we have brought children from Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. In 2009, we brought over children from Taiwan for the first time.

Summer 2010 Tour

Nightlight Christian Adoptions and Detsky Dom Partners partnered together to bring children from Russia and Taiwan to Southern California during Summer 2010. The children's ages ranged from 7-15 years old.

During their stay, the children performed native dances and sang native songs at churches around the Southland from July 6 – 23, 2010. Their trips included Disneyland, the Orange County Fair, and a beach party. The Russian children also toured and performed in Colorado from July 25-28 before heading back to Russia.

Host Family Requirements

If you would like to host a child in your home next summer, you will need either a homestudy completed by Nightlight Christian Adoptions or have begun the process by:

  1. Submitting an application to Nightlight
  2. Being fingerprinted
  3. Meeting with a Nightlight social worker

All of our host families will also need to:

  1. Attend a Host Parent Preparation Class
  2. Attend the Host Parent Orientation Meeting
  3. Be able to drive the child to performances and other tour activities
  4. Commit to having at least one parent with the child during the entire time of the tour; parents will need to alternate time away from work if both work full time.

 
It will cost approximately $2,000 to bring each child over (airfare, health insurance, and a portion of the chaperones’ expenses). We ask that all host families help to support the financial expense of bringing a child over through fundraising efforts beforehand.

To apply to become a host parent, please download the host parent application and send to Kathryn Deiters, Nightlight Christian Adoptions, 4430 E. Miraloma Avenue, Suite B, Anaheim Hills, CA 92807.
