Happy New Year! Here are a few of our favorite moments from 2016...
A huge highlight of 2016 was the relationships we built with the orphanage nannies. With each visit, they were increasingly warm and friendly towards us, and we finally were able to see the fruits of our regular visits and efforts to connect with them over the past years. Guanxi is a big deal in China (what is guanxi?) and we are so thankful to have come this far.
3 year old Ava (left) and 5 year old Leah (right) arrived at the orphanage and we have loved getting to know them both! Ava is a smiley and giggly little one who spends her days in the baby room at the orphanage, unable to walk or crawl due to cerebral palsy. Leah is attending Kindergarten and easily making friends with the other kiddos in the orphanage.
Ezra and Eli were both made available for adoption in 2016, and in the fall the announcement came that they could be adopted TOGETHER as brothers! We are excited to see if a family will come forward to adopt them together...
Here's to 2017 adoptions! THANK YOU to all who supported, encouraged, donated, prayed, and thought of us in 2016. The Lord has been faithful to us and to the children we serve. And we are forever grateful.

A note from Rebekah...If you've ever wondered what it would be like to start a nonprofit from the ground up, to open a home for ORPHANS with special needs in Asia, you've come to the right place. Archives
