DEFEND is a new advocacy site being launched by
Bring Me Hope Foundation, to advocate and find families for the orphans who attend
their summer camps in China.
Defend's aim is simple -- "Upholding the
cause of the fatherless..." It is a database with information and photos
of the many children just waiting to be chosen by a forever family.
UPDATE! Jan 2014 - Lance has a family!!!! One of my personal favorites being advocated for there, (and reportedly the camp favorite), is a twelve year old they call "Lance." His massive smile lights up the room; and his cheerful voice praising his Maker gives one the goosebumps! This boy loves to sing! Be sure to give a listen to the second video on his profile to hear some of that singing. What Lance wants more than anything in this world is to have a mom and dad. Could it be you?
If you would like to learn more about this sweet boy, or any of the great kids they advocate for, stop by the brand new
Defend website or
Defend Facebook page
If you have room in your heart and home, but aren't sure how to get started, feel free to drop me a line or check out the helpful section on their website about
how to get started with adoption.
These older children have so very much to offer. All they need is the chance - and a family!
