Loving Older Orphanage Kids (LOOK Project)

Domestic and international adoption finds homes for only a small number of the mostly younger abandoned children living in Chinese orphanages. Once a child has reached about seven years old, his or her chance of ever being adopted is even further reduced. While a few are placed with foster families, most of the older children—many with special needs—reside in the orphanages, grouped with similar-aged boys and girls, until they are 17 or 18 years old. The LOOK Project is intended to send love and care to these children.

The mission of the LOOK Project is to provide older children growing up in Chinese orphanages with the health, skills, and knowledge they will need to eventually function as independent, productive, and healthy adults in society.
