Wanting to help special needs babies in the local orphanage (called a \u201csocial welfare institute\u201d in China), they fostered the first baby in their home and then sought Chinese families to foster additional children. As the work developed, it became clear that some children\u2019s medical needs were too complex to care for in ordinary foster families. Care homes were established where children could receive intensive, 24\/7, specialized care. Many of the children would eventually be adopted into forever families, but for the ones who were not adopted China Little Flower innovated group educational foster homes so that these children, too, could have families, receive an education tailored to their specific needs, and grow into independent adults. Fast forward nearly three decades and China Little Flower is still caring for children using the models, processes and systems developed from those earliest days.
