Giving Hope to Chinese Orphans
My wife Lily and I moved to the United States from China. In the winter of 1993, we had the opportunity to return to our homeland to visit an orphanage near Shanghai. After witnessing the overwhelming number of children there, our hearts were moved to open an adoption agency in the U.S. to facilitate the adoption of Chinese orphans. When we founded Living Hope in 1994 we made it our goal "to provide homes for these children with a level of care and compassion that exceeded normal expectations and to bring American parents and Chinese children together to become 'forever families'."

In June of 2000, after seeing so many children being placed with their "forever families", Lily and I decided to provide a home for a little girl from China. Our two boys were excited about getting a little sister and we were overjoyed to welcome her to our home. We have loved watching her blossom into a little lady. 

Adopting a child is a big step regardless of how prepared you think you may be. That's why the Living Hope Adoption Agency provides prospective parents with a full range of support services, all designed to make the transition of becoming a family as smooth as possible.

Our qualified and experienced staff is able to provide home study services for local residents. We would also be happy to locate a licensed home study agency in your area if you reside further away.

We realize that adoption can be as confusing as it is exciting. That's why we do everything we can to make the process as simple as possible. Our staff is here to answer your questions and to personally assist you, step by step, through your adoption.

"Right now thousands of children in China are in need of loving families who will give them a future. You can do that...
international adoptions are providing wonderful alternatives to domestic adoptions."

Our established relationships in China help us to facilitate your adoption with ease, and we are confident that you will have a pleasant experience traveling with Living Hope Adoption Agency.

Living Hope Adoption Agency is well-versed in the complexities of the international adoption process, and will guide you through each stage of the process. We will help you complete the necessary paperwork, arrange your trip, and provide a facilitator as you travel through China and finalize your adoption. 

While many people are concerned with the expenses associated with adoption, Living Hope is able to keep the cost of adoption down because of our commitment to making adoption affordable. I am sure you will find that our services are competitively priced. Living Hope is up front about the cost of adoption and we provide our clients with resources for financial aid.

Through Living Hope International we are able to care for some of the children remaining in China through our Orphanage Projects. Through our growing network of orphanages, American families can sponsor a child in one of our Children's Homes, providing that child with food, clothing, shelter, medical attention and educational supplies. More importantly, each child receives more individual attention as a member of the Living Hope family - they realize that they are special and loved. 

We are more than just an authorized and approved, private, not-for-profit adoption agency. We are a group of Christian professionals committed to providing people like you with all of the adoption services you will need as well as providing an excellent level of care for the orphans remaining in China. We welcome you to Contact Us for more information.
