China Special Treasures: April 2014

Liam - MATCHED!

Thrilled to announce that God grew

another family this week, and Liam has an

amazing forever family!

Becky - AGED OUT!

Becky has aged out of the adoption system. We are thankful for this bright and sweet girl who impacts those she interacts with daily.

Becky will remain in ICC's care and a part of the ICC family.

It is with sad hearts that we share that Gregory has turned 14, and no family stepped forward.
Gregory will continue to be a blessing to those around him with his kind and helpful nature.
We trust that God has a special plan to use Gregory in his ICC family.

Mark - MATCHED

Mark has a forever family! Praise God!!!
He will be a forever sibling to Frannie!

Bobby

Bobby now has a $15,000 Reece's Rainbow Grant!

Additionally some agencies will provide grants for him starting at $3000.

Bobby, born in April 2007, is a delightful 12 year old boy who has Down Syndrome. He is an active boy who loves to play, especially with play dough, sand and bouncy balls. He enjoys bouncing on the trampoline and swinging on the swingset! During these times, you will hear his infectious giggles!

Watch Bobby giggle and play with sand! Love his laugh...it is the best!

Bobby currently does not communicate using words, but understands commands and instructions and responds through sounds and gestures. He would benefit from using sign language to help his communication skills.

Bobby is in the care of ICC and lives in a group style home with consistent caregivers. He attends kindergarten classes each day where he interacts with his teachers and has a good relationship with them. He enjoys painting and doing simple puzzles which is developing his fine motor control.

Bobby also loves to dance! There is a time of dancing every morning at the ICC center and he regularly joins in. Check out this cute video of him dancing one morning in Sept 2015.

A new October 2015 video of Bobby playing!

He is a determined little guy! He needs an active home and household to keep him from boredom.

Beautiful and sweet Tami, Happy 14th birthday. You are a gift and you are special.

We are thankful that you have International China Concern to care and love

on you and to be your forever family and community.

I'm sorry our advocacy efforts did not bring your family. We were honored to be your

voice so that you were not lost in the sea of names on the shared list.
