Defend 'Upholding the cause of the fatherless...' An adoption advocacy site for orphans who have come to Bring Me Hope Summer Camp in China. Welcome to Defend.

We are group of individuals whose experiences and histories vary, but one thing binds us: Passion for serving needy children and recruiting others to the same cause. This website was started with the hopes of not only becoming a voice for these kids but giving them extra love by finding them a “forever family.” We believe God created every person with value and it breaks our hearts when children a

re rejected, abandoned and abused. Defend is an extension of Bring Me Hope, a core group of leaders and interns working with hundreds of volunteers every year to deliver love and encouragement to Chinese orphans. Bring Me Hope began with one family, one adopted baby, and one summertime trip to China. Now they are an organization that spans several continents: From its hometown in Fallbrook, California, it has branched out to the rest of the United States, as well as Canada, Australia and Ireland. We are a small organization by design, so that more of our resources are free to help the orphans we desperately want to reach. Defend is a database that features all the kids that Bring Me Hope volunteers work with each summer. Our goal is to have YOU become part of our team by adopting one of these kids or advocating for their needs.

PLEASE SHARE TO HELP ISAAC FIND HIS FAMILY!!! Handsome Issac is nearly 12 years old and is a regular at our Zhengzhou summer camps! He is a delightful boy who quickly melts the hearts of everyone he meets! He is smart, hard working and has the best smile!!! Can't you tell! :)

His diagnosis is CP but this doesn't stop him! He is independent and can do anything he puts his mind too! His determination is inspiring! We know he would greatly benefit from regular therapy that would be available to him if he got adopted! He has seen lots of his friends be adopted recently and now it's his turn!! He only has a little over 2 years before he "ages out" and is no longer available for adoption! We just can't let that happen!

Meet handsome 9 year old Richard who camp to our ZhengZhou camp this summer!

His volunteer wrote about him saying: "Richard is very energetic boy who gets excited about anything. His bright smile easily cheers other people up. Richard never ceases to ask questions. He also very loving and out going." He is on Lifeline's Individual Special Focus List and his SN's are listed as cognitive/developmental delay, amyotrophia of left lower limb, and abnormal function of left limbs but don't let these labels scare you. He is so capable and deserving of a family!

Countdowns are normally used for exciting upcoming events. Birthdays, Holidays, vacations. But this countdown is devastating. 4 months. Approximately 120 days. That is all the time that remains for JoJo to find a forever family. Without one, his future is bleak. Please share this boy! There is still a chance for him. A family in process that is approved for two, or even a family starting from scratch that is willing to fight every step of the way can make it to him in time! For more information please email me at [email protected].

Stefan is a sweet and active 10 year old boy. He is currently on the shared list waiting for his forever family! He longs to be adopted, and would love to have a family where he has many siblings! He attends a local school, where he does very well with his studies. His favorite subject is math! He is a healthy, happy boy who would thrive with the love and support of a forever family! Contact [email protected] for more information!

Read what his BMH volunteer wrote about him:

"Stefan mostly likes to be part of our camp activities but sometimes he is shy and not confident. He liked to play on the waterslide, eat meals and play with toys. He isn’t a tough kid to deal with. He is a great kid to be with.

He can take care of himself such as taking showers, doing laundry but he still needs love from others. He is kind of outgoing and he is a fast learner. He likes to learn all kinds of things and he is interested in learning. Learning brings him hope and happiness."

Meet Hayden! The boy with a smile that can light up the room! He is 12 years old and is waiting on the shared list for his forever family! He has Cerebral Palsy, but it doesn’t slow him down one bit! He is a very active child, who loved to participate in all of the camp activities. He always had a smile on his face and loves to sing and dance! He is very insecure, and needs a family to show him unconditional love in a way he has never experienced. With the love and support of a family, he will thrive.
