We are excited to offer the opportunity to adopt college students into our families at BUMC. This program offers a wonderful opportunity to provide a family atmosphere to students who are away from home while at school. It has been a huge blessing for those of us who have participated in similar programs in years past.
Activities for families with adopted students could include (but are not limited to) sharing meals together, going on hikes, having a movie night, engaging in regular conversation, hanging out in a family dynamic, etc.
After the forms are completed, students and families will be paired together with the best fit possible. Your responses will remain confidential (the people pairing students and families will see them) unless you give us permission to share them with your paired family/student.
If for any reason you do not feel comfortable with your paired family/student, you may contact Kelly Beeken (khbeeken@gmail.com) or Sondra Edmison (smedmison@me.com) for assistance.
We hope that this provides a fun and healthy way to build community between the members of BUMC and the students who participate.
