Most teenagers (including my son Danial) hate taking out the garbage. But I know an exception to this rule. In fact, fourteen-year-old Zi-Wei is not only exceptional, he is inspirational to me.

There was much rejoicing two years ago when Shannon and John Silva came to take their adopted daughter Madison (Liang Ying) from Xining Children's Home back to their home in the USA. We celebrated together before their departure, something I try to do with all our adopted children. Whenever children from our homes go to be with their forever families, I wonder to myself what their future will look like, and how they will face the obstacles life has a habit of presenting. Shannon's latest update answers some of those questions...
