CHINA RELIEF
Beijing Foster Home is Caring for Orphan Children
By Terry Meeuwsen

It's a journey every child deserves - to navigate through life's
adventures in the arms of a loving parent. But there are millions
of children who will never know a father's love, who will never
feel a mother's touch -- children like those I met in this orphanage
outside Beijing.
All the CBN staff members were moved with compassion over the great
need these children had just to be held. There are 350 children
here in a space designed for 150. Some have been brought here because
of special needs; some have been abandoned due to severe birthmarks.
The staff does what it can to take care of every child, but the
job is not easy. After seeing such great need, one may ask, "What
could possibly be done?"
That answer comes in the form of CBN WorldReach in China. I learned
that CBN is opening a foster home and taking these children out
of the orphanage, a few at a time, and placing them in a home environment.
Then, CBN is working with the American
China Adoption Association to place them into the arms of loving
parents in America.
At the Lang Fang Foster Home, run by an American couple and their
daughters who have a love for the Chinese people, the very children
we saw lying in the orphanage were now in a home environment waiting
to be adopted by American families. All because people care enough
to give to CBN.
It's not to sacrifice or give up food or things, its to help widows
and children, and that's what we are doing here. We've been given
much. But now we've got an opportunity and an obligation to sow
back into these kids the love of Christ. That's what we are here
for.
CBN IS HERE FOR YOU!
Are you seeking answers in life? Are you hurting?
Are you facing a difficult situation?
A caring friend will be there to pray with you in your time of need.
