Since we got home with the boys, I have been considering volunteering for Love Without Boundaries. I can finally say, I am one! I fell in love with this organization when I learned they had taken in my twin boys, one by one, when they were extremely sick and helpless in China. Love Without Boundaries has healing homes, also known as Foster Care Centers. There is Heartbridge, in Beijing, which is the one my boys were in. They also have Anhui Healing home in Anhui, which is a cleft healing home, as well as True Children's Healing Home which is in Fujian. Until a week ago, there was one in Henan, called the Henan Healing Home. Tragically, it was closed down and all the children are now living with Foster Families, except one, which had to go back to the orphanage. The government implemented this change in Henan after a fire broke out in a foster home outside of Kaifeng, killing seven children. It was a tragic incident but it deeply saddens me that the Love Without Boundaries home was closed as a result. Their home was very modern and well staffed. They had plans in place if there was indeed a fire, including aprons that would allow them to carry out several babies at once. None the less, it has happened. Therefore, we must be grateful the home helped as many as it did and pray for those who have been relocated as they adapt to this change in their life.
I will be writing updates on children to their sponsors. This is so awesome to me, considering while Trigg and Ivor were in China, we sponsored them through LWB, and these monthly letters were highly anticipated as we waited to bring them home. Since they have been home we have sponsored other children and it is such a joy being a part of their journey and healing as they receive the love and care they so desperately need.
Healing Homes are places for healing, simply put. If you would like to be a sponsor, I have included a link to enable you to do so. If you have any questions... please don't hesitate to ask.
Below is a photo of Trigg and one of Ivor taken at Heartbridge,
