Looks like Jadagrace Patton and Stacey Burk had a wonderful time soaking up the sunshine on their fall getaway to Hilton Head Island! ☀️

It may have been a little too warm for sweaters, but we hope there was still plenty of pumpkin spice to make it feel like fall. 🍁 Thanks for sharing your photo with us, ladies!

Gordon loves music, familiar songs, and interactive toys that light up and move. He is making encouraging progress in his communication and independence, and he responds beautifully to patient, consistent encouragement.

This sweet little boy has some medical and developmental needs, but they are only part of his story. He is a cheerful boy with a growing personality, a curious mind, and so much potential. Could your family be the one to walk alongside Gordon as he continues to grow and discover the world? 💙

For years, Shuai had heard his family’s stories about China. During a recent America World China Heritage Tour, he finally had the chance to create stories and memories of his own. ❤️ 🇨🇳

From reconnecting with the orphanage where he spent his first 20 months to forming an unexpected friendship with two fellow adoptees, the journey gave Shuai a deeper connection to the country where his story began.

Vincent is a sweet boy who loves attention and especially enjoys being cuddled. 💙 While he is nonverbal and communicates in his own unique ways, he is beginning to show caregivers what he needs through gestures and actions.

Vincent is waiting for a family who will take the time to understand his unique way of communicating, celebrate his progress, and walk alongside him as he continues to grow and develop.

Could you be the family Vincent is waiting for? Visit our Waiting Child Photolistings to learn more about Vincent and see his full profile.

Today, we’re celebrating with the Patel family as they welcome their daughter, Kiara, home from India! 🇮🇳

Kiara’s dad, Harshil, shares:

“We are so in love with our sweet Kiara! She is settling into our family beautifully. She already has her big brother completely wrapped around her finger, and her absolute favorite thing is riding in the car with us. We are so grateful to have her!”

Welcome home, Kiara! 💕 We are so grateful to have been part of your family’s journey and to celebrate this beautiful new chapter with you.

Proud mom Jean Carpenter shares these photos of her daughter, Hannah, who is a senior this year! Chris and Jean brought Hannah home from Ethiopia in September 2009 (be sure to check out their adorable Gotcha Day photo!), and they couldn’t be more proud of the young woman she has become.

Hannah stays busy running cross country, singing with her school choir, baking, spending time with friends, and traveling. Recently, she traveled with her local high school to London, Paris, and Rome... and this fall, she’ll be headed to Germany! ✈️🌍

What an exciting season for Hannah and her family! We’re so glad to celebrate this milestone with them and can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes you, Hannah! ❤️
