20 Years of Hope: Ruth

Posted on September 28, 2023

A beautiful little girl came into this world in the summer of 2017 in a rural community in eastern China. Sadly, at just a few weeks old, she was abandoned into orphanage care — most likely because she had been born with a cleft lip and palate. Thankfully, the director at this baby’s orphanage had […]

20 Years of Hope: Bekah

Posted on August 24, 2023

In late 2012, LWB was contacted about a toddler girl with a complex set of heart issues. Her orphanage in China had originally hoped she could be adopted and that surgery could be delayed until that time, but her low oxygen levels and repeated bouts of pneumonia let them know that she couldn’t wait any […]

20 Years of Hope: Carolyn

Posted on August 17, 2023

In the summer of 2017, a beautiful five-year-old girl named Carolyn first joined our Rangsei preschool in Cambodia. Her teachers found her to be an active and playful child, eager to please and quick to grasp new concepts. A little bit on the boisterous side, Carolyn sometimes needed to be reminded to speak more softly, […]

20 Years of Hope: Archie

Posted on August 10, 2023

A darling little boy whom we call Archie was born in 2017. Sadly, his birthfather disappeared just a few months after Archie was conceived, and nine months later, his birthmother left Archie when he was just eight days old. Thankfully, we were able to quickly place Archie into our Cambodia foster care program. He joined […]

20 Years of Hope: Twins Max and Matthew

Posted on July 20, 2023

In early September of 2010, a rural orphanage in Henan province called us about a tiny, five-pound baby who had recently been abandoned. Max, as he came to be called, had been found with a life-threatening intestinal condition that often requires surgery within the first 48 hours of life. We knew there was no way […]

20 Years of Hope: Cayden

Posted on June 29, 2023

In February of 2015, we received a call from an orphanage who had a baby in severe distress fighting to survive. He had a large laryngeal cyst on his neck and was struggling to breathe and swallow. We immediately took him to the hospital and named him Cayden. Following surgery and treatment for a nagging […]

20 Years of Hope: Cui

Posted on June 22, 2023

In 1986, a tiny baby named Cui was born with a very wide bilateral cleft lip. As a result, her birth parents abandoned her in a rural field shortly after she came into the world. Thankfully, a man passing by that day found Cui bundled up near the dusty road. When he saw the tiny […]

20 Years of Hope: Dani and Margaret

Posted on May 11, 2023

In 2006, our China director visited a small orphanage in central China. It was a small institution that was just beginning to do adoptions, and conditions were quite stark. LWB supporters helped build a safe water system, purchased badly-needed supplies like new cribs, blankets, and toys, and began a nutrition project as many of the […]

20 Years of Hope: Elyse

Posted on March 2, 2023

Back in 2006, when our work in China was only a few years old, an orphanage in central China reached out to us for help. They had recently received a baby born with a myelomeningocele, a severe form of spina bifida in which the spinal cord and nerves develop outside of the body. In ideal […]

20 Years of Hope: Sampson

Posted on February 16, 2023

In the fall of 2016, we were first introduced to a solemn little boy who lived along the border region of Cambodia and Thailand. At just two years of age, Sampson had already lived through more sorrow than any toddler should have to experience. His father died when he was just a baby, leaving him […]
