4 year old Celia is proud to have a mom and dad!

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.
