The Shaw Kids, Christmas 2007
I would like to welcome you to our new blog. This may be the first time some of you may be receiving information about our Foundation so I'd like to tell you about it's inception.
My wife Heather and I adopted our daughter, Lilah, in April of 2004. Lilah made our family complete - we have 3 wonderful birth sons and our beautiful adopted daughter from China .
When we returned with Lilah to our home in Wheaton, IL my wife was often stopped by strangers and asked about our daughter. They would tell Heather that they were considering adopting a child or had a friend or family member thinking about adoption. They also said that the paperwork seemed overwhelming or that financial barriers were keeping them from moving forward with the adoption process. That is why we formed theAsianBridge. This non-profit organization provides families with information, education, and financial assistance so their adoption processes can move forward. We have a miraculous mission to build forever families for children who do not have a home or family.
In order to accomplish this we need resources to help these families complete their journey. Please consider a donation to our foundation. Donations can be made on-line on our web site, http://www.theasianbridge.org/ or sent to:
TheAsianBridge
802 Howard Street
Wheaton, IL 60187
All donations are tax deductible. You will also receive our beautiful Asian Bridge pin with a donation of any amount. (Please see our web site for a picture and history of the pin.)
Wishing you Happy Holidays,
Geoff Shaw, Founder & Director of theAsianBridge
