SPECIAL CARE UNIT
The future of the world depends upon the children, yet sometimes the children's future depends upon us.
Our Special Care Unit (SCU) cares for orphaned children born with medical conditions, born prematurely or those who are in need of specialized care. Children come into our unit from local orphanages and remain in our care until they are healthy enough to be placed into a loving foster home.
Upon entering our unit, the children are immediately evaluated to determine their medical needs, bathed, fed and placed into the arms of one of our wonderful caretakers. With the help of medical professionals we begin to develop a medical and specialized care plan for each child. If needed, we arrange for the child’s surgery and medical care by partnering with other charitable groups working in China. Our caretakers accompany the child during any surgery to ensure they are receiving the best care possible. Quality care post surgery is given to each child, so they have the best chance for successful healing. Some children’s needs are too severe and the only care we can provide for them is palliative care. Other times the child only needs individualized care and lots of love and attention to thrive.
OUR SPECIAL CARE UNIT STAFF
Our staff is very committed to helping each child grow to their fullest potential. We try to ensure that each baby’s physical and emotional needs are met every day. All of our staff is fully trained and receive ongoing training to improve their skills to provide the best care and nurturing for these children.
FOSTER CARE
Once the children are healthy enough, they are not returned to the orphanage, but placed into a loving foster care home in China. We encourage the orphanage to place every child’s papers for adoption, in hopes that they will find their forever family.
