The Sponsored Star for March is Here!

Meet Theo, GWCA’s Sponsored Star for March!

As a 13 year old boy, Theo is in danger of aging out unless he finds his Forever Family before his 14th birthday. If you or someone you know may be interested in learning more about this sweet boy, please contact the Matching Specialists at GWCA today!

Hi! My name is Theo and I am 13 years old. My eyes don’t work as well as some of my friends, but that doesn’t stop me from being a happy kiddo! I was hosted in the United States over the holidays but now I am back in China waiting for my forever family! My hosting family says that I am loving, respectful, and kind. I loved to help my host mom do laundry, make meals, and help out my little host sibling! I am a sweet kiddo who would love to find a forever family! If you would like to learn more about me, contact my friends at GWCA!

As our Sponsored Star, Theo has a $2,000 grant available towards his adoption fees! If you are interested in seeing Theo’s file or learning how you can be matched with him, visit our China Waiting Child Photo Listing or contact our China Matching Team today! 

What is a Sponsored Star?

On the 1st of each month, Great Wall China Adoption will feature one of the kiddos from our Orphanage Partnerships as our monthly “Sponsored Star!” As our Sponsored Star, that child will be provided a $2,000 grant towards their adoption fees! Each of the kiddos selected will be a Special Focus child,  meaning they have not found their Forever Family yet due to their age, or the degree of their needs. Together, we can find loving homes for these amazing kids!

We encourage any families interested in learning more about our Sponsored Star of the Month to visit our China Waiting Child Photo Listing, or contact our China Matching Specialists to learn how you can be matched today! Check back on the first of each month to meet the newest featured child!
