This week, Sandy Banks speaks about an organization called Kidsave, whose goal is to find families for children from other countries who are labeled, "unwanted". Years ago, this organization was simply a place for children from Russian orphanages to come to, but over the past 12 years, it has blossomed into a place where thousands of children have been sent to. The biggest struggle for these families that "adopt" these children is the feeling of failure when they aren't able to find a home for the child they have custody of for a short period of time. The biggest problem in caring for these children is the language barrier, which does not allow the children to share their life story with the advocacy family they are staying with. One family that is an active member of Kidsave claimed that that children who are labeled as unwanted is on their list of tragedies.
