Just look at that face! Doesn’t John seem to be saying, “I’m looking for a few good sponsors. Do you know where I could find one or two?” John is a healthy four month old baby boy. He has been placed with a foster family in our Loudi Foster Care program in Hunan but still requires two sponsorships to be fully funded.

Ciaran is a wonderful four-year-old little boy in our Loudi Foster Care program in Hunan. He lives with Down Syndrome, so his speech development is a bit slower, but his understanding is excellent. He is a polite little boy who is quick to run to get a stool for his foster mom when she comes in from outside. He is quick to be obedient and enjoys collecting his toys and putting them away after playtime. What a happy helper he is!

LWB is thrilled to announce that we are offering $1500 grants towards the adoption of two wonderful little boys who are awaiting families.
Adam is a four-year old from Loudi in Hunan province who has faced a number of medical challenges in his short life. He had a heart defect which has closed on its own and clubbed feet which are correcting nicely (with close attention to his bracing and skin care by his foster family). He has had surgery on his spinal cord, and CT scans are showing decreased swelling of his brain. Such a strong little boy!

Maire is, quite simply, a beautiful child. She peers back at me from the pages of each monthly report with a stare as deep as the ocean between us is wide. Maire entered our Loudi foster care program in January of 2009 at about one year of age. This transition was quite difficult for her as she was extremely shy and distant and grieved heavily at the loss of her previous caregiver.

I worried about this beautiful girl with the profound gaze.

Some of our favorite photos of the year showcase the affection between caregivers and children. The love between Samuel from Loudi Foster Care and his foster mother is clear and beautiful to see!
I first “met” Adam when I was volunteering with LWB’s education program. He held a determined look in his little eyes. I learned that Adam had been born with multiple medical issues including a heart defect, a spinal meningocele, hydrocephalus and club feet. That’s a lot for one little guy to deal with!
I met Matthew a year ago this week. He was a teen living in Loudi, Hunan who had been benefitting from an LWB-sponsored tutor. He was working hard to keep up in his classes despite a visual impairment and everyone was impressed — including me!
Matthew is a special kid. He has spent his entire life growing up in the confines of an orphanage, but he possesses a spark in his spirit that lights up a room. I had the opportunity to meet him this past March and was so impressed with him. Matthew has albinism and poor vision, and [...]
