A home for Julie

I was recently in China, on a mission trip with a wonderful Christian organization called Bring Me Hope, that reaches out to orphans through a summer camp setting. {You can visit their website by clicking here.}

While with them I was with Julie, to care for and love on her for a week.
She is eight years old, and is not currently available for adoption. Her family has to ask for her file so that she can become "adoptable".  To get the file her family must go through Chinese Child Adoption International. http://www.chinesechildren.org/

She lives in a foster home and gets Physical and Speech therapy.  She can crawl, sit up by herself, and is starting to say simple words like Mama and Aunt.  She is very smart and can communicate with her eyes very well.
