Sean & Drew have families

We are very pleased to announce that the CCAA has issued pre-approvals for two families in the process of adopting Sean & Drew! Congratulations to these families and these 2 boys. We can't wait for them to come home.

Also, Tina is now available again. She is the 2 year old girl with a congenital heart defect.

We are hopeful that many more of these children will be coming home in 2011.
Happy New Year!

First Journey of Hope child comes home!

Malia is on her way home! Formerly known as "Sue" from our Journey of Hope program, Malia is the first of our children from this program to come home. This photo was taken in China and as you can see, she seems quite happy with her new family! (If you are reading this message on our yahoo group, you can go to the blog to see the photo at ftia-joh.blogspot.com.)

We have a few more families working on their paperwork to bring home some of our Journey of Hope children, and a few more that are currently reviewing a child's file; but we need to find a lot more families.
