The average age of a child in foster care is 8, but the average age of a child adopted from foster care is between 5 and 6 years old and with each year the child gets older, their odds of being adopted decrease. That's why at Kidsave we work on behalf of older kids in foster care who are so often overlooked and forgotten. See how you can help an older child in foster care this National Adoption Month at https://lnkd.in/demdd4kP! #kidsave #nationaladoptionmonth #fostercare #adoption

Kidsave® is about creating change for children the world has forgotten.
About us
At Kidsave, we are driven by the simple belief that every child, everywhere, deserves to grow up with the support of a loving, caring family. For older kids in foster care, scared of aging out alone, this can sometimes feel like an impossible wish. We’re here to change that. With your support, our innovative programs both here and abroad give older kids in foster care a voice and a choice in who they get to know and who will ultimately become their forever family. And with an estimated 8 million children living in institutional care worldwide and more than 440,000 children in foster care here in the U.S., the need has never been greater. Join us in becoming a champion for older kids in care. Spread the word, lend a hand, become a mentor, a host, or adoptive family and let’s give all kids the chance to thrive in loving, supportive homes.
