Success Stories

Lively Luke

Luke is a darling, six-year-old boy in LWB's Kaifeng Foster Care Program. He is described as active, playful, coordinated, well-behaved, sensible, and gentle. Despite being diagnosed with Down Syndrome, Luke is a very capable little boy. He can dress himself for the most part, use the bathroom on his own, and attends kindergarten each day, after which he spends the afternoons with his foster grandparents and tells them all about what happened at school. He has learned some counting, likes to draw simple shapes, gets along well with his classmates, and remembers most of what his teacher tells him.

Luke loves to watch his grandma play mahjong, as well as sing songs with her. He also likes to dance along to the different tunes on her cell phone! Aside from spending time with his foster grandparents, Luke enjoys playing with toy cars and bikes, as well as bouncing a basketball around the neighborhood. He is a busy boy!

Thanks to our foster care sponsors, Luke has truly thrived in his community and has developed a strong emotional foundation. He is very much loved by his foster family, and their greatest wish is that Luke finds a permanent, loving home. When that day comes we are certain that this wonderful little boy will be a devoted and affectionate... and lively... son!
