Introducing the SuperKids Adventure Program

Posted by Sarah Hansen on 2/1/25 12:58 PM

What is the SuperKids Adventure Program?

The SuperKids Adventure Program is a unique opportunity for families to make a dramatic, life-long impact on the life of a child. In this program, children from Asian and Latin American countries are invited to approved homes in the US to stay for 2-3 weeks. During their stay, the family these kids get the opportunity to be showered with love and attention, learn about US culture, and feel what it is like to be part of a family. In turn, the family has the chance to learn more about the child, their story, and their culture.

Maleah has been waiting for a family to call her own for far too long.  Our staff spent time with her last February, and we have been working hard to find the perfect family for her since.

The day we met her, she walked in with her head held high, displaying the perfect ‘this is lame’ teen strut.  She was trying her best to let us know this meeting was boring, and she’d rather be doing a million other things.  But she slipped up when she briefly made eye contact with both of us, letting down her tough teen façade just for a moment, and giving us our first glimpse into the amazing young woman that she is.  She knew why we were there, and it wasn’t hard to see her vulnerability behind the valiant attempt of only giving off teen ‘tude.
