International Women's Day 2018

March 8th is a day to honor and celebrate women around the world. Here at New Day we are blessed to work alongside so many phenomenal women. In China Women's Day is celebrated by giving women half of a day off work, and we want to acknowledge how amazing the women of New Day are.

Mother Teresa said, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” The women of New Day are casting ripples one child at a time and changing the world because of it.

Women like our nannies. They work tirelessly and love enormously. The nannies care for the children as if they were their own and give them the individual attention they deserve. The nannies spend countless hours away from their own families next to hospital beds and sacrifice daily to care for the children. As the children that they love are adopted they continually open their hearts to the new children that arrive. They provide care, comfort, and unconditional love each and every day.

Women like our foster mamas. They gladly open their homes to children and love them like they are their own. The foster mamas teach their children how to love and what it means to be in a family. They are the ones that put the children to bed at night and are there when they wake up in the morning. Our foster mamas are some of the most selfless and joyful people we know and the have changed the world in ways that they have never known.

Women like our medical and therapy staff. These women spend countless hours going to appointments, meeting with doctors, and researching in order to provide the best care possible. They make therapy fun and the children love therapy time because of them.

Women like our teachers and support staff. The teachers not only teach the children their numbers and colors, but they also teach manners, kindness, and most importantly love. The support staff clean, cook, and make sure everything is in order. Without these women things wouldn't be the same. 

Women like our office staff and volunteers. These women are often behind the scenes and tirelessly work to make sure everything goes smoothly. They daily pour themselves out to make sure the children know just how loved they are.

The women at New Day are daily casting stones that are creating ripples that we truly believe are changing the world!

Gingerbread Houses

"Wait wait wait you can't eat that yet!" was the anthem of our gingerbread house making. Our kids created wonderful sticky houses together using all the icing that didn't make it to their mouths. We loved getting to share this Christmas tradition with the children and from the pictures, we think they enjoyed it as well. The houses did turn out quite nice and very delicious.

Introducing...Micaela, Aerin, Larry, and Kevin

You may have noticed a few new faces on our facebook page, and we thought we would take the time to formally introduce them to you.

Micaela is 2 1/2 months old and has a smirky smile that we have fallen in love with!

Shortly after arriving she was admitted into the hospital and had surgery for her neurological disorder. We look forward to her return so we can continue to get to know this sweet girl!

Aerin is 4 months old and was born with a neurological issue. She babbles and smiles happily when she sees her nanny.

Aerin is settling in nicely and we all adore this sweet girl.

Larry is 1 1/2 months old and was born with a heart defect and a GI issue.

He is alert and observant of the world around him (when he's not sleeping!).

Finally, Kevin is 9 months old. He was born with a heart condition.

Kevin has the sweetest smile and big, beautiful eyes.

We welcome these 4 little ones with open arms knowing that the path ahead of them may have bumps and turns but vowing to walk alongside them every step of the way.
