Rejoicing with the news that Taylor has a family! After sending a family info on what I knew about Taylor, and my experience with burns--they decided to proceed! He has waited waaaay too long for a family to call his own, so I am so happy today!! And yes--a bit jealous!! ;-)
On that note--I have decided to do a post weekly on kids that are still in need of a family! This week I will focus on the children that wait with limb differences...
Here are just a very FEW that currently are on China's shared list waiting for families.....
