Hosting an older Latvian child

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!

Latvian Hosting

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 have hosted...

four Latvian children and one Russian child, and adopted one of the Latvian children. Feel free to PM me for the details...

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.

We're hosting from Latvia for the first time too (Russia last year).

Two this time will be interesting. Looking forward to hearing how everyone's experiences have been. Have lots of questions regarding the adoption side of things in Latvia.
