Journey of Hope Has Arrived in China!
Follow our blog and see photos from our Journey of Hope in Shanghai!
Do you know about the Journey of Hope? It is a perfectly named initiative, involving Alliance For Children, the China Center for Adoption Affairs, and the famous Shanghai Social Welfare Institute. Through this program, which involves direct, hands-on experience with the children (ages 3-13, all waiting for adoption in China) we are looking to find forever families for 30 children. Perhaps you will be one of them…

For the full details on our trip or to inquire about adopting one of these special needs children from China, visit our Adoption News page, and also please visit our blog, which is located at http://allforchildren.ning.com. We are posting blog entries and photos from China daily to tell you about the children and to spread the Journey of Hope as far and as wide as it will go.

Procter & Gamble Contributes $50,000 to Alliance for Children Foundation
Dec. 1, 2007 - Wuzhou P & G Sunbeam Village Opened!
On December 1st, 2007, a new foster care "village" opened in Wuzhou, China. This project provides apartments for Chinese foster parents to live with groups of 5 orphans (most of whom have special needs) as stable families. It is modeled after the very successful Sunbeam Village project in Hefei that has been supported by the AFC Foundation for 5+ years, and was made possible by a generous $50,000 donation from Proctor & Gamble’s Live, Learn and Thrive Global Cause. Visit our Wuzhou P & G Sunbeam Village project page to see photos of the new families and to read the first inspiring report on how these orphans, previously institutionalized, are now thriving in their new family setting.

Purchase a car and support the Foundation!
As a proud supporter of the Alliance for Children, Ray Ciccolo will donate $250 to the Alliance for every car you purchase, or for any person you refer to one of his Village Automotive dealerships. See our adoption news page for more info.

In Loving Memory of Xiao Fu - Alliance is very sad to note that Chinese orphan Xiao Fu, who has been profiled on our web site (after meeting President Bush and Secretary Rice), passed away on July 7th, 2008, after suffering from a long illness.

Xiao Fu was an inspirational individual and touched many lives around the world. Please visit our Help a Child page if you wish to make a donation in his memory; all gifts will be used to help the orphans at his Hefei orphanage in China and to support the group he founded, Rights into Action for Disabled Youth, in Hefei.
