twin boys

“Our life has changed a lot since we adopted our twin 19 month old boys. They were born in China, abandoned at birth, were found at an apartment complex in the early morning hours, and taken to a local orphanage. It was discovered immediately that, one of our boys, required surgery. I got a call from our adoption agency, we were in the process of adopting our twins and they let us know there was surgery planned. This actually scared us because we had heard from several other families that adopting kids with in need of gastrointestinal (GI) surgeries had not been done right and they had made the situation worse for the kids. But they wanted to go forward with the surgery. We later found out that it was Mending Kids that came and operated on him, bringing doctors that are very knowledgeable of his special need. They’re performed a perfect surgery. Today, our son lives a very normal life. He rides horses, plays on a football team, plays on a basketball team, he’ll soon be in baseball, he does things that normal children do on a daily basis. It is extremely important that organizations like Mending Kids are doing these life changing surgeries for these children. It allows them to one day, go out into the real world one day and receive jobs and have healthy relationships. We are extremely grateful to Mending Kids for the work that they do. It not only gives these kids a better opportunity to be adopted, but to make their wait more comfortable. They’ve changed these children’s lives forever.”
