Our ProgramsWELLCOME HOME(TM) WELLNESS - An integrated wellness program for orphan, foster and adopted children While in China we met with the orphanage director and other officials to discuss the needs of the orphan children. Donations allowed us to purchase an air conditioning unit for the infant rehabilitation room. Many infants that have been institutionalized for the first year of their lives suffer from fine and gross motor delays and have nutritional deficits. Some babies have attachment difficulties. Many babies adopted from other countries have communication difficulties because of the language barrier that exists. Some babies have sensory integration problems. With proper nutrition, love and care these infants thrive and flourish in their new loving home. Many babies in China survive on congee (watery rice) for the first year of their lives. The formula given to these babies is of substandard nutritional quality.
Wellcome Home(TM) Wellness DVD will be helping adoptive parents to improve the overall health of their new baby. Click here to find out more!

SIGN LANGUAGE PROGRAM Global Child Advocates is a Certified Training Center for Baby Signs® and is utilizing their amazing products to help adoptive families to bond and communicate with their children. Sign Language is an important part of our orphanage wellness program as we plan to teach children in orphanages sign language so that they may communicate with any family, from any country, speaking any language after adoption! Please check back soon as we will be selling Baby Signs® products to help us raise funds to support this program. The Baby Signs® Program helps babies communicate what they see, what they need, and even how they feel. Child development experts Dr. Linda Acredolo and Dr. Susan Goodwyn at the University of California have spent over 20 years evaluating the effects of signing on infants' development. Funded by the National Institutes of Health, their research has shown positive benefits for both language and cognitive development. Benefits include:
The Baby Signs Institute continues the support of research focused on the impact of signing with hearing babies. The Institute also develops curricula and certifies a network of instructors across the globe who teach about the Baby Signs® Program through the Baby Signs® Parent Workshop and through Sign, Say & Play® Classes, theme-based classes offered through 6 week sessions and designed for parents and babies to attend together. The Baby Signs® Early Childhood Educator Training helps child development professionals bring the benefits of signing to their classrooms and agencies-benefits such as reducing frustration, decreasing aggressive behaviors, and promoting more observant and responsive interactions with children. The Baby Signs® Program is the Original sign language program for hearing babies. Today, it is the world's leading program because it is the only program that has been tested through scientific research, was developed specifically for hearing babies, was created by child development experts, provides flexibility to meet the needs of any family, and has a full range of signing resources. KIDS CARE Cultural CommunicationsWe believe that kids CAN change the world. Our group moto is "We all smile in the same language!"
In this group we share cultural information with the children to help expand their minds, improve their language, reading, and writing skills. It is also our desire to instill in the children a spirit of giving back, and encourage them to help other children in need.

This group is for kids about kids. It is also for parents and educators of American and Chinese children. The purpose of the group is to engage American and Chinese children in communication and interaction through on line dialog. This dialog will help our children to appreciate, communicate, understand, and care for other races/cultures. This program is designed to introduce American children and Chinese children so that they may learn from each other, and build strong friendships based upon acceptance and understanding.
This group is for children ages 6-13 and their parents, caregivers or teacher.
