Thomas Christopher is being adopted !!!!
We just received an email from New Day Foster Home in Beijing that Thomas Christopher, the little boy that we sponsor, will be adopted soon. We have been praying for this little boy for about 6 months. Jude and Rachel say prayers for him at bedtime and our prayers have been answered ( and I am sure the staff of New Day FH as well) .
He is such a beautiful and special boy as well as so many of the wonderful children that live there are.
We will continue to pray for his medical and emotional needs for the coming months to follow.
The email we received is stated below:
Dear Friends,
During the past month, Thomas has had a lot of excitement in his life. We recently received word that he has an adoptive family in the United States that is waiting to come and take him home! When we told him, he became very excited and immediately wanted to see pictures of his family. A couple weeks after receiving the pictures, he received a phone call from his new family. He was overjoyed at the chance to talk to his mom and dad on the telephone. As soon as he got off the telephone, he quickly went to tell the other children. Recently, the children have been on a couple of field trips. The first field trip was to watch the winter wheat being harvested, which Thomas really enjoyed. He liked being able to walk in the wheat that hadn’t been harvested yet and eat some of the raw wheat kernels. He was also very fascinated by all of the big machinery that was being used to harvest the wheat. The second field trip that Thomas went on was to the Beijing Zoo. Thomas loved looking at all of the many animals that lived there. His favorite animals were the monkeys, zebras, and bears. Thomas is a cooperative young man. He loves going to preschool each morning and to his English class in the afternoon. Whenever he sees his teachers, he will ask them whether or not it’s time to go to class. Thomas has a very good appetite, especially if there are large pieces of meat for him to eat! Thomas is a charming young man. It is so wonderful to know that he now has an adoptive family waiting to adopt him!
