About Me

Each year for the past 4 years, a group of orphaned children from Taiwan was invited to different parts of the US for a once-in-a-lifetime summer camp for 2-3 weeks. The focus of the summer tour is to allow the children to have a chance to experience living with an American family and to have the family-style life. Even with the language barrier, the children had so much fun and had such a blast, by the time they are about to leave their host family, they can understand simple conversation and it is so hard to say goodbye. These children ARE AVAILABLE FOR INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION and are WAITING FOR THEIR FOREVER FAMILIES. Their presence here in the United States will help their future transition into their adoptive family's life and to experience the culture. Are you called to host or to sponsor a tour child? Are you being called to be their forever mommy or daddy? Please contact kidstaiwantour@gmail.com

Ling, 9 years old

Cute Isabella has the most amazing curly hair!  She was recently placed in a new foster home with several other foster children including her friend from school.  Sadly, she was living with her grandparents but they are older now and can no longer care for her.  Initially it was difficult for her, but after some excellent guidance from her foster mother, her self-care ability is good and she helps with the housework.  She is healthy and has adapted well to her new environment. 
 
Isabella is usually eager to help others, is polite and is dedicated to extra-curricular activities such as cheerleading, judo and swimming lessons.  At times Isabella has been bullied at school so her foster mother has taught her to write her thoughts in her diary every day which has helped her and the mother understand her feelings better.  When meeting people, Isabella is initially shy but usually by the end of the visit, she is very outgoing and may even perform a cheerleading routine for you!
 
When approached about adoption, Isabella was concerned because she was afraid she would forget her maternal great grandparents and is worried about a new language.  The social workers have discussed overseas adoption with her and what it means and she is now accepting and understanding of it.  Even though her visit to the United States will only be two weeks, it will be very helpful for her to see the new country she may be adopted to and to learn a little English while here.  The other nice thing about adopting from this country is that adoptive parents will get to skype on several occasions to further help the transition.
