Sweet and charming Raven was welcomed to our Zhengzhou Care Center in the spring of 2015. Upon her arrival, she was diagnosed with congenital heart disease. Raven has made great progress under our care and we are hopeful that she will have heart surgery within the next few months.
Raven will be celebrating her first birthday this spring, and we have loved watching her grow. She enjoys rolling over and can sit up momentarily without support. She loves to play with toys, especially her rattle and a toy swan. Raven is a very happy girl. She always has a smile on her face.
We are so thankful for the opportunity to care for Raven every day. Please join us in praying that she will remain stable and continue to gain weight. We also pray she will one day know the love of a family!
