Dreams

Have you ever had a dream? A dream of something that felt so strong inside you that it hurt when you saw others accomplishing it? The children in the Hope Journey program each have a dream of having a family of their very own. Parents that will come to their high school and college graduations. Grandparents for their children. A support network that will always be there for them, no matter what. They see other children getting adopted into families and feel that pain and wonder...where is my family? Well, it's ASIA's job to find that family for each and every one of them. We have to find where their red thread ends. We have to find the families that will help them soar to new heights. We have been able to match 18 of the 30 children so far. We have 12 more who are still waiting. Could you be a parent to one of those children? Could their dream of having a family be shared by your dream of having a child? Were you meant to see this site and find your child? Find out...contact me for more information on the children, or view them on the ASIA website: http://www.asiadopt.org/waiting-children/current-waiting-children

Urgent Matters!!!

When children in the orphanage system turn 14 in China, they are no longer eligible for adoption. This can leave them in pretty diar straights regarding their futures. We have several children in our Hope Journey program that are in danger of this happening to them. Sweet Sherry turns 14 in August. Sensitive Skyler turns 14 in June! Gregarious George turns 14 in August as well. These children deserve to have families to call their own, to love, to always be there for them, and to give them the opportunities they won't have if they age out of the system in China. Please help us find the families for these children that I know must be out there somewhere. Someone must be willing to fight to bring these kids home before they turn 14! There must be families out there who feel these children would bring them happiness. Please feel free to pass on this information and anyone interested is welcome to contact me: marcisk@asiadopt.org

Happy News!

I have more incredibly happy news to report! Families have come forward for many more of the Hope Journey children! Clarke, Hannah, Shirley, Julia, Wendy and Misty will all have families! Congratulations to those families! If only we could see their faces light up with this news...their dreams of having a family will be realized! Thank you to everyone who has helped to advocate for these children! Your work is immeasurable. Thank you also to the families coming forward to take a chance on these children.

Need I Say More?

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!

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

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!
