Help This Girl Find Her Family!

This is the email I receive from our agency today. I cannot publicly post the picture of this child because of CCAA rules, but she is beautiful as well as very smart. If you would like to have more info on this child please contact me and I will give you the name and number of our case manager who will be happy to talk with you about this precious child.Female. Hepatitis B carrierDOB: 1-20-1997She came to children welfare center on Jan 20th 1999. Now she is living with foster family and she receives good care from foster parents. She is a fourth grade student; she studies hard and does well in her studies. She is very smart and loves to sing and dance. She can manage herself in daily life and she also helps to do some house work such as cleaning tables and sweeping the floor. She is a very pretty girl and a good student with lots of talents.Dear China Families,As you can see that this smart and beautiful girl has only slightly over a year to find her family before she “ages out” of adoption. We would really like to try to prevent that from happening to her. She simply has too much potential and she truly wants a forever family…Please get her information to the lists that you are aware of and maybe, just maybe her forever family is out there; and they will come forward… We want to give it a final try before sending her file back to China; therefore crush her dream of a family that loves and cares for her… A child growing up in an orphanage does not have much future. She most likely will not be able to attend college; or get a good job… basically, she’ll just have a “gloomy” (I am not sure if this is the right word…) future; and we do not want that happening to her, not without one last try, at least.Please help us to get the word out! And pray for her to have a family, please.We thank you for any assistance you are able to provide!If a family wants to know more about her, I will be happy to talk with them when I get back from my China trip. Please feel free to give my contact info to anybody interested in adopting her.
