” And whoever receives one such child in My name receives me… ”
Matthew 18:5
New Life Foster Care was started due to the overwhelming needs of the children abandoned in government run institutions in Oradea, Romania. Many of the children would languish in a horrific state of malnourishment, sustain abuse and develop Failure to Thrive and Attachment Issues. Even now, children are sent back to parents having unthinkable conditions for a home. Witnessing the harsh reality for abandoned children served as grounds for beginning this project. Through God’s grace, we opened New Life House in April, 2000, to help alleviate the suffering of the children. In June, 2003, we began to transition our children into wonderful Christian Romanian foster families. We are seeing amazing results with the children receiving the love they need in a family setting. We are so proud of what the Lord has done for our children through our foster care program. Florin is just one example of what prayer and God’s love can do to change the life of an abandoned child.
Florin
Florin came to our ministry from the local Children’s Hospital where he was abandoned when he was 3 months old. He was in good health but we wanted to intervene early so he would not develop so many of the problems that the other abandoned children already had. He was taken into our Christian orphanage, New Life House, and then transitioned to foster care in June, 2003. In his current foster care, he is very loved and treated just like a little brother by his older foster sisters! He is so smart and loves animals (especially horses!) and being with his foster family on their farm. Although we would like to see Florin adopted, the fact that his biological mother will not sign for him to do so prohibits him from ever having an adoptive family. His foster family has agreed to raise him in permanent foster care if the laws do not change to allow him to be adopted.
