11,000

In 1992, CCAI began in the founders' basement. Josh and Lily began helping to find families for orphans in China. On Tuesday, the 11,000th child will be adopted into the CCAI family.  So many children who have found their families. It is an amazing thing. I don't blog much about CCAI, but they are great. I can call and ask anything. As busy as they are, we got a phone call from Josh checking on Alex and on us a few weeks ago. They really care about these kids. Josh has an amazing heart- in one blog post he wrote, he said he prays he is out of a job soon because that would mean all the kids have families. 

Here are my two of 11,000.

11,000 chidren. That is so many. Yet so many more wait for families. China says there are 576,000 children in their system. Outside sources guess that there are actually closer to one million. A million children who have no family. A million children with an uncertain future. 98%of children abandoned in China now have medical needs. Boys and girls are equally abandoned. So many children wait. Such a horrible decision the parents must make to save their child's life. Medical care in China is very costly, and inaccessible in poorer areas. 

If you want to help orphans in China, or have questions about adoption- let me know. All of the medical needs are not scary and many are easily managed. 

11,000 have found families with CCAI's help. There just aren't words to express my feelings.
