These are the faces we're trying not to disappoint:







These are the faces of the children that keep us motivated to try to find them families. They each want a family of their own and we're trying not to disappoint.
Do you see a child that could be yours in one of these pictures? Let me know and we will try with all of our hearts to help you connect your red thread!

Could You Love One of These Children?
















Could you love one of these children or do you know someone who could? These children are all running out of time because they are 13 years old. They will no longer be eligible for adoption once they turn 14. These children deserve loving families who will believe in them and help them blossom. Please contact ASIA right away if you could be one of those families. Help us fulfill their dreams!

Waiting Child Advocates

ASIA has completed our powerpoint presentation on waiting children for all of those families who would like to help advocate. You can present it to any community you're a member of, or anyone you know who may be interested. If you would like to be one of those families, please send Marci an email with your mailing address, and we will send you out a packet: marcisk@asiadopt.org
Thanks for helping to find the waiting children of China their families!

A Day For Good News!!!!

This is always my favorite kind of post to submit:-) We have found families for more children! We have now found families for 11 of the children. New to the list of children that will have happy families are Felice, Ruth, Archie and Beatrice! It is likely we will have a few more to report soon as well. Congratulations to all of the families who have found their new additions! The following children will have families:

Timothy
Beatrice
Archie
Ruth
Felice
Spring
Lily
Kacey
Frances
Lucky
Jane

Our goal is of course to place 100% of the children, so let's keep that good energy going and continue to work to find families for the rest of these deserving children! When I think about these children wanting families so badly and waiting, hopeful, to hear that they will have a family, it makes my heart ache. We have found families for this many children...I'm sure we can find the rest, too:-) Thank you for all of your work and contributions toward changing the lives of these 30 children.

ASIA is currently working hard to put together a presentation for families interested in advocating for these children to use in their communities. Hopefully we will be able to make it available to anyone interested upon its completion.

We Need YOU!!!




We Need all of You! No one has come forward to adopt Skyler or Julia yet. Both of these precious children are in danger of aging out of the opportunity to have a family. Please use all of your resources to get the word out about these two kiddos. Surely they would make some family out there very happy. Please see their pictures and bios below. They have so much potential...let's help them reach for the stars!

The Power of Many

We have received such a wealth of volunteers who have heard about our special needs children in need and helped to spread the word about them far and wide. We dub you ASIA's Ambassadors and we thank you for your efforts! There is no doubt that with our combined efforts, we will be able to find these children the families they so deserve. So often we hear from families who would be glad to adopt one of the children if it weren't for the obstacle of coming up with so many fees in such a short time. While ASIA always does what we can to help, our funds are limited and this is where we can also use your help. If your heart is with these children, yet you can't help by adoption, please feel free to donate to our Special Needs Adoption Fund. With the ability to help more families, we will be able to bring more children home. There are many ways you can be an Ambassador for these children!

Urgent Need--Skyler!




Check out Skyler's winning smile! He has a positive outlook on life, is talented, polite and helpful. He lives in a foster home and helps his younger brother with homework. He is good at school, receiving good marks and is adored by everyone. He is active, outgoing and a good role model. Doesn't this child sound like he would make a wonderful family member? Skyler must be adopted before June when he turns 14 or he will lose the opportunity all together. Please help Skyler find his family quickly!

Julia--Urgent Need!







Julia is intelligent, cute, polite and enthusiastic. She was born in 1996, so will age out of the system if she doesn't find a family to work quickly for her! We've heard from so many of you who wish to help advocate for these children. Together we can change their lives--you are the ASIA Ambassadors for waiting children. Thank you!
