NEW HOPE FOSTER HOME

New Hope Foster Home is an orphanage in Beijing for kids with special medical needs – they provide care and medical treatment for babies with surgically correctable deformities. Dr. Joyce Hill and her husband Robin opened New Hope in 2002 after adopting a special-needs little girl and started taking in babies from local Chinese orphanages. Today with 6 facilities in Beijing and the Henan province, New Hope cares for over 300 children – all fully funded by donations by friends and sponsors.

This Beijing location has since been closed due to Chinese Government restrictions.

"This is my new Family" - Nine year old orphan Shao Dong shows off a photo of his newly matched family posing with a picture of him. Suffering from an imperforate anus and living at New Hope Foster Home where he is the oldest child by 5 years - he has been matched previously but unfortunately returned due to his condition.

Xiao Xiong ignores Xiao Dong's attempts to play with him. Xiao Xiong once belonged to a friend of one of the nannies at New Hope who could not care for him any longer. The sad dog does little but sit there every day.
