Something was right

Last week I shared about Meizi Kershaw and her parent's visit to Xining Children's Home. Meizi was the very first child from Xining Children's Home to be adopted.

Sharing Happiness

Last week was one of really special celebrations!

A Heart-Stealer Called Ming

It seems impossible for a six-day old baby to steal hearts, but that was his age when Ming joined the Christian Action family at Xining Children's Home. Everyone who has had the privilege of looking after him has been smitten with Ming. I can't imagine how heartbroken his parents must have been to decide that the only way he could get medical treatment was for them to 'abandon' him.
