Flossmoor Family Opens Home to 3 Orphaned Brothers

The Agosto in Flossmoor recently welcomed three orphaned Colombian brothers into their home for the summer as part of an international adoption program, Sun-Times Media reports.

Hernando, 14, 11-year-old Rafael and 6-year-old Angel are back in the United States after an unsuccessful first round of adoption attempts. They're involved in the international Kidsave program "Summer Miracles." It provides families for orphans between the ages of 10 and 13 during the summer months, according to their website. The intent is for a host family to introduced the kids to the community and their social sphere in hopes of eventually finding a permanent adopter.

David and Julie Agosto already adopted three sons within the last 12 years. That's on top of their three daughters, now in their 20s.

“When you start off, you think you’re doing something good for someone else and then you find that you’re the one who has been blessed,” Julie Agosto told Sun-Times Media.
