A Place to Call Home.
Family Care
Providing a nurturing family atmosphere for vulnerable girls is the passion of our hearts and the dedication of our lives. That’s why we’ve adopted eight beautiful Hill tribe girls into our home in Chiang Rai.
These girls had been at extreme risk of falling through the cracks back into a life of extreme poverty or being exposed to sexual exploitation. The girls who joined our family had suffered varying degrees of emotional or physical abuse, were from extremely remote villages with no access to resources or opportunities for education, and had either been orphaned or abandoned.
Over the years the eight girls we adopted into our lives and hearts, ranged in age from 11 to 17 years old when they joined our forever family, and we are still raising, mentoring, and homeschooling the youngest four, now teenagers.
These beautiful girls hadn’t been raised in a family environment prior to being adopted into our home. We believe that a nurturing family home provides the best opportunity to mentor these teenage girls into adulthood. A positive trend is developing in this direction based on research done by children’s rights organizations. Unlike institutional care facilities, and as a family, we remain in a relationship with and continue to mentor our adult daughters after they leave home. #wearefamily
