We are home

We have been home two weeks and are trying to adjust to this new life with 4 kids! Its is crazy, stressful and Fun! I have posted some pictures. I wish I had more but I was not able to take very many while there. I should have brought a photographer with me. I will try to keep this updated for awhile. Not alot of free time any more. The girls happen to still be asleep (its 9am Sat. am) so I was able to work on this. Love to you all. Cathie and family

Children Available For Adoption!

I have been given the priviledge to advocate for 9 very special children currently residing in the Duang guan province just outside of Guangzhou. These children are part of the True Childrens Home program. The mission of of the TCH is to save a childs life, fund corrective surgery, provide post op care, place children with foster families and facilitate the adoption of the children. It is their goal that when a child leaves the orphanage and becomes a part of the TCH, that they never return to the orphanage. That is the story for these children. They have all received their corrective surgery and post op care. They are all residing with foster families now waiting for their FOREVER FAMILY. Our Lulu is coming from the TCH and we could not be happier knowing the care she has received. These children are loved and cared for by very special people. I have the privilege of knowing the director Jenny Smith. She is a beautiful, caring, sweet christian woman who has devoted her life to helping orphans. She has asked that you contact her directly for more information on the available children. Her email is jennys@truechildrenshome.org I have photos of 4 0f the 9 children. I will post the other 5 later today or tomorrow.

Blessings to you all and my prayer is that your heart will be open if one of these precious ones is meant to be yours!

In his name,
Cathie
