The following is another remarkable account of one of the foster parents who came to speak at our recent family placement conference in Shanghai, China.
Over the years she has fostered many children, including those with disabilities, who spent part of their childhood in an orphanage. One of whom went on to be adopted by an overseas family. She is extremely proud that he is now studying automotive mechanics in Germany.
“We have seen so much change in our children, and they have exceeded our expectations. We have received amazing support from the family placement workers helping us to care for our children in the best way.
“I have learnt so much by being a foster parent. It has inspired me to do more and I feel a great sense of achievement and joy. They receive warmth and love from their new family. I miss them very much.
“Now we have more children who are unable to go to school because of their disabilities. So we’ve developed a new education course for children who can’t attend school. We’ve witnessed amazing changes - children who couldn’t show any emotion can now express their love for you. We have opened a colourful new world of possibilities - we believe the children’s future is now full of hope because of this training program.
“I have so much love and responsibility for the children in my heart.”
Once again, thank you for your support and staying connected with our work.
