Another one comes home!

WOO!!!HOO!!! Another child who is about to age out has a family!! Hui Pan, who will turn 14 on July 1st will be joining a little brother from China on his way home. His family also has two daughters from China and four bio sons.

This family could use some help with the additional costs involved in bringing home a second child - especially at the last minute. Please jump over to their blog and help them out. http://gettingliam.blogspot.com/

If you scroll down, you will see a donate button. They are also partnering with Lifesong for Orphans so you can donate there if you need a tax receipt.

Orphan Statistics

Inter-country adoption has decreased 59 percent from its high in 2004, due primarily to restrictions by sending countries.
81.5 million Americans have considered adoption. If just 1 in 500 of these adults adopted, every waiting child would have a permanent family.
Every year more than 23,000 children age out of foster care, leaving them without families of their own.
The average waiting child is 7.5 years old.
Last year, nearly 9,000 children were adopted internationally
Of the estimated 238,280 children who exited foster care during 2013, the median amount of time spent in care was 21.8 months.
In 2013, California and Texas were the two U.S. states with the most children in public foster care waiting for adoption.
As of 2013, an estimated 17.7 million children worldwide had lost one or both parents to AIDS. Most of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa.
The births of nearly 230 million children under age 5 worldwide (about one in three) have never been recorded, depriving them of their right to a name and nationality
