waiting child highlight: BAAS boys

February 24, 2014 Family Found 0 Comments

I went to visit Pan Zhi Hua Children Welfare Institute, one of the orphanages that BAAS started one to one orphanage partnership with in late October of 2013 and had a wonderful time meeting the staff members and the children. Children from Pan Zhi Hua CWI are mostly older children (3 to 12) who have spent their infancy and toddlerhood in the orphanage since this orphanage has never done international adoption before. They are so lovely and friendly it was hard to say goodbye to them. The staff members are wonderful and loving and the facility is new. I was very impressed by how happy the children are. I hope very much to find forever families for all of them. The orphanage staff members are actively preparing children’s dossiers and are committed to working with us to find loving homes for the children. I would like to introduce the children and post the links to the youtube videos so you can get to know these wonderful children better.
