Visit an Orphan in Russia!
Upcoming Trips to Russia
March 26-31, 2010
and
June 19-23, 2010
Take a vacation with a cause, visit Russia and spend time with a Russian orphan!
Travelers will choose a child, fly to Russia as a group, meet and spend
time with the child in Moscow, sightsee together, and decide whether to
pursue the child's adoption. Travelers not interested in adoption are
welcome to join us. Single boys and girls, ages 7-14, and sibling
groups, ages 7-16, are available. The Lighthouse Project will arrange
transportation in Russia, lodging, several meals, and activities for
adults and children. Sightseeing plans include Red Square, St. Basil's
Cathedral, and other culturally-appropriate sights in Moscow. Cost depends on which lodging option
is selected, but ranges between $1500 to $2000 per person, including
airfare, assuming double occupancy.
This is substantially more cost-efficient than making a “first trip” to
visit a child in the standard, two-trip adoption procedure. Basic
paperwork includes an application and a statewide background check.
Those deciding to adopt will complete the requisite paperwork in the US,
returning to Russia to finish their adoption in one trip, six to nine
months later.
