20 Years of Hope: Ting

At the age of 18, Ting joined other young people to receive lessons on personal finance, self-esteem, career counseling, […]

20 Years of Hope: Our 1st Cleft Exchange, Dr. Padilla, and Sydney & Reagan
In late 2003, when Love Without Boundaries was just a few months old as a foundation, we were approached by a medical team that wanted to set up a cleft surgery mission to China. We never in a million years would have attempted something as complex as sending a team of physicians to a foreign […]

Life Skills Camp for Vulnerable Teens
Pre-pandemic, LWB had a dynamic life skills program for children preparing to “age out” of institutional care in China.

20 Years of Hope: Dani and Margaret
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.

20 Years of Hope: Tobias
Tobias was born in 2018 with a medical condition called anal atresia. With this condition, the anal opening is either blocked or missing altogether, making it terribly difficult (or even impossible) to expel any food that is taken in. Sadly, this led to Tobias’ abandonment and early life in an orphanage setting. Although anal atresia […]

On-Site Family Care Reopening in Xiaoxian, China

Three Brothers, Together Again in Foster Care
For a young child, the gift of a loving family is truly invaluable. In a perfect world, every child would be able to be raised within their biological family, but that is, unfortunately, not always a viable option. In these instances, the role of foster care becomes key. A loving foster care family provides stability, love, and a feeling of belonging for children whose biological families are no longer living or who are unable to provide for them due to any number of circumstances.

A Snapshot of Orphan Care in India
This week, we have set a goal to find 20 additional sponsors for our foster care program in India. This program has been a dream of LWB’s since 2016 because we believe so fully that every child deserves a family. India has one of the largest populations of children in orphanage care, so expansion of our successful foster care program here from other countries was a definite goal.
