Sweet Ava Thuy



Little Ava Thuy turned 2 years old in April. She has a mommy, daddy, and big brother waiting for her at home in the US. Her waiting family first saw Ava almost one year ago, and this little girl's sweet face has been etched in their minds and hearts ever since. It has been very difficult for them to see her grow up in pictures and know they've missed witnessing so many of her life's precious milestones. It breaks their hearts to hear her big brother ask when his baby sister will be coming home, when they are unsure when or if that time will ever come.

Ava appears to be in good health, but it remains to be seen how long this will last. Her waiting family knows the year between 2 and 3 years old is crucial for proper physical and mental development, and that is why it is so important that Ava and these children come home as soon as possible. While Ava's waiting family is confident her caregivers at the orphanage are loving and caring, a caregiver can never be a substitute for a loving, nurturing parent. Please help us unite these children with their waiting forever families.
