Blue Sky Healing Home is a medical fosterhome for orphans in China. We are located in Beijing, and have helped more than 120 children over the last 8 years, many with severe medical problems requiring surgery.
Starting with the not so good news.... we did not win our battle with an orphanage to have Xiao Bin remain in Blue Sky's care until his next cranial-facial surgery. Xiao Bin, who turns 4 years old this October, had major cranial and hand repair surgery in Singapore in 2010, and has been progressing so beautifully with physical therapy for his hands, general development, and even attended kindergarten. His orphanage required him to return, despite our pleadings and doctor's letters that he will thrive better in our home, and still needs constant monitoring for his condition. The event has reminded us that the children are still wards of the State Orphanage, and are not ours. Though, we feel they are. So it breaks our hearts to lose them so easily. We will try to keep monitoring him while he is in their care, and hopefully the staff will be responsive to our requests for information. His adoption paperwork is apparently processed and he is "available", so we can only hope that he will be chosen soon by a family. Below are pictures taken the day before Xiao Bin left last week. He is pictured with Xin Le.
