On October 1 2007 Celia moved from the orphanage to a Jingmen foster family.
Celia is a 4 year old girl who is very happy to have a family of her own, as this story will tell you.
Foster mom told GHC that one day Celia was shouted at by other children that she was an orphan. Proudly she yelled to the children; "I have a mom!!"
Every day when foster mom comes to take her home from school she excitedly runs to foster mom and holds her.
She is a good-understanding girl who often helps doing little works in the householding like cleaning the table after meals
"Dad", she often says to foster father, "I love you so much".
Foster sister has gone to college but often asks her mom for an update how Celia is doing.
Lately she chatted with Celia by internet!
This story is proving how foster care benefits the life of a child who's destiny used to be to live in the orphanage.Celia is truly blossoming in her family.

Boys greeting from Jingmen
GHC Jingmen foster program is engaged to help Jingmen orphans live in foster families.
Many children now living in the Jingmen orphanage are older than 7 years.
Help them move from the orphanage to a foster family to give them the chance to build normal and strong relationships to engage them to grow up into healthy kids. Having good relationships has proved to be essential for orphans to help them develop positive selfesteem and get educated.
See the radiant smiles on their beautiful faces.
We definitely need to protect their childhood and keep them smiling as they can face a healthy future.
GHC foster programs aims to select, train foster families to care for these children.

Ella Zhou is happy in her foster family
Grace and Hope for Children (GHC)reports that Ella is doing well in her foster family.
The foster family has a six year old daughter whom Ella likes to play with.
As Ella is fond of dancing she is often dancing for her foster mom.
Ella has another special passion: watching the making of bread and cake at the local bakery's.
It is such joy to know Ella is feeling at ease and welcome in her very first family and making discoveries in the outside daily world.
Ella will turn 6 this Spring.
Thank you so much Ella's sponsor for giving her the opportunity to feel loved and be safe so she can explore life's wonders and interesting places all around her.

Jin Armando waiting for sponsorship
Like Ella Zhou Jin Felipe got sponsored too by now.
At the moment there is 1 little boy born in 2005 waiting for sponsorship for a foster family.
His name is Jin Armando. Unlike Ella's situation which was very unique we don't have photos of him yet. His photos and report are still in China and will be sent to his sponsor. We hope to get him out of the orphanage as soon as possible.
Hopefully the Chinese New Year of the Rat will bring good fortune: a foster family to this little boy.

Jin Ruth adopted to Norway
Another good news that reaches us lately is that Jin Ruth was adopted to Norway!
Jin Ruth left the Grace and Hope for children (GHC) foster care program in January 2008 when she was adopted by her Norwegian parents. We wish her a happy and healthy life in Norway and hope she will well attach to her family.

Ella Zhou will live in a foster family!
We are thrilled to announce that Ella Zhou got a sponsor!!
This means this beautiful girl will move out for the first time of her life of the orphanage to live with a foster care.
What an exciting time for her especially now at Chinese New Year.
Patty and I would like to thank her sponsor for coming out and helping Ella Zhou to change her life forever and face a normal life like other kids.
Right now we are waiting for her first report to arrive from China to show us more details and photos.But as you know it is Chinese New Year now and everyone has gone for family celebrations, if permitted by the weather and public traffic conditions.
