Transformations (Part 1)

Sometimes, when a child first arrives at New Day, they are afraid, guarded, quiet. The moment they come through the doors of our foster home, they become part of our family, and they are loved. It may take a little while for them to understand and realize this love, but when then do... something beautiful happens-- they blossom. They gain weight; they start to talk; they let their personalities shine. They start to heal, and the transformation is absolutely amazing.

Over the next week or two, you will be able to see for yourself the ways our little ones have grown and changed. We hope this helps you to see how much your support means in their lives. Love really does make a difference.

Just take a look:

  4. This is soooo true. When Emelia (HongShuang) first came she looked so sad and afraid in her photos, but now I love looking at photos of her smiling on the scrapbook!! :)

    Hannah is a perfect example of this also! :) She looks like a different kid!
