While the foster home in China was the focus of Morning Star Foundation in its early years, government regulations have changed, requiring our foster home to close. All of the children formerly in our home have been either adopted or given alternative placements. Our focus in China has shifted to working directly with families to provide lifesaving heart surgery for their children if they have no way to pay for their care. This desperate situation can be a catalyst for children to be placed in a foster home in the hopes that another would have the funding to provide for them. We provide the medical care these children need so that they can stay with their biological family for a lifetime.
