There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still. ~ Franklin Delano Roosevelt
With the help of his foster grandpa, John has mastered the art of going forward. John formed an immediate connection with his foster grandpa when he joined our Fuyang foster care program at age five. At the time, little John was recovering from spinal surgery and had experienced quite a bit of trauma (see his previous blog, “The Land of Counterpane…and Beyond”). Learning to walk again required braces on his legs, which he still wears and may wear forever. Together John and his grandpa navigated through his recovery and continue to improve his mobility, not letting obstacles like big shoes or uncomfortable leg braces hold them back. Read more.

Ben is a beautiful little boy who is in LWB’s foster care program in Anhui Province. He loves playing with his foster brother, Jon, but obviously what Ben loves the most is being in the arms of his foster mom.
She likes to take him outside to walk in their vegetable garden, and she loves telling our local manager what a thoughtful and sweet little boy he is. We are such huge supporters of foster care for orphaned children as we believe every child deserves to grow up in a family setting versus growing up in an institution. Read more.

Autumn has arrived in Qiandongnan with cooler and milder days. The children are doing well and are providing a little slice of heaven to their foster families. Many of the foster families have expressed concern regarding the need for warm clothes, coats, and shoes for the children. Lente, a sweet one-year-old, is one of the beautiful children in Qiandongnan foster care. We would like to be able to provide a coat and warm clothing for her and the other foster children this winter. We would welcome your donation in any amount to help Lente and the other Qiandongnan foster care children stay warm.

Chelsea and Kevin are foster siblings in LWB’s Lu’An foster care program. They are both super excited about going to school this year! Chelsea is very outgoing, and if she had her druthers, she’d be outside running and playing. She likes to be close to Kevin, but he is not always quite so enthusiastic about that. Kevin prefers to spend his time playing games with his older brother. He is quiet and sensitive and can sometimes gets his feelings hurt easily. He will hide behind a door when that happens.
This sweet sibling pair really enjoy school. Kevin was thrilled to meet his classmates, and he is doing very well academically and socially. Chelsea is learning more and more each day. She is using her expanding vocabulary to speak in sentences now…and she does like to talk!

Regular readers of LWB Community may know four-year-old Julian from Loudi foster care. Our China foster care manager wrote the loveliest comment on this month’s report:
Julian desires to be loved and paid attention to by others. While I talked with his foster mom he hugged my back, touched my hair or patted my head from time to time. He became cheerful and clapped his hands when I turned my head to him. When I went back to the conversation he patted me again. He is such a special little boy. If only he could find an adoptive family full of love.
