Help sponsor a foster family in China

Thank you for your support of our Loving Families Program! For this report, we’d like to share a special video, about “Little Sister” and her loving foster family. Like many abandoned children living in orphanages she was placed with a family in this program. You may read a short overview of her touching story below and view it here via video: https://onesky.org/little-sisters-loving-family/.

When Little Sister joined our Loving Families Program, she was an abandoned, frightened 2-year-old orphan. Because of her special needs it was unlikely she’d ever be adopted.

However, our program offered her a second chance at having a family.

After living in an institution adjusting to family life was not easy. When she first met her new foster family, she was acting out and rebellious. Her catch phrase used to be “no.” At first, she was shut down and anxious because she was not used to being part of a family unit with parents and siblings.

But she soon showed small signs of adjusting.

Bit by bit, over time, she truly became part of her family, with caring parents who had gone through special OneSky training to learn all about raising and nurturing orphaned children, and children with special needs.

Now Little Sister is a well-adjusted 5-year-old who has a wonderful sense of belonging, thanks to her foster family.

Our Loving Family Program pairs children like Little Sister with significant special needs with permanent foster families. And, although the program was designed for children deemed “un-adoptable,” one in ten of these kids have turned around so completely that they have been adopted to another “forever family.”
