Superkids Team
Superkids is a humanitarian aid initiative within the Asia Waiting Child Program of the Gladney Center for Adoption. Our goal: to improve the lives of children in Chinese orphanages via adoption advocacy, medical and rehabilitation services. Starting as a tiny team providing services to special needs children in a single facility in Shanghai in 2007, we've grown to a broad coalition of physicians, early childhood development specialists, teachers and volunteers who've aided 500 children in orphanages across China.
In recent years, Superkids has been able to meet hundreds of children and provide additional information to prospective adoptive parents. However, Superkids has a long history that includes other types of important child welfare support.
Superkids started over 10 years ago as a humanitarian aid initiative. In the early days, therapists and doctors traveled to China, Ethiopia, and Colombia to train caregivers, assist in providing therapies for children, and deliver expensive therapeutic devices. We now have an opportunity to again help to provide much needed therapeutic support to children in the XinYu orphanage in China. We are hoping our Superkids followers will consider helping with this initiative.

XinYu is an orphanage that Superkids has visited several times. Even though one-to-one partnerships are no longer part of the China adoption landscape, Superkids is committed to maintaining our support of Xin Yu and continuing our relationship with them. XinYu is in a small, rural area and has fewer resources than other orphanages in big cities. But they have a desire to provide quality care, including therapeutic support for the children residing there.

When I think of all of the kiddos I’ve met during our Superkids trips, Dale is always one of the first to come to mind. He is just such a sweet, fun kid! He’s always smiling, happy to see us and participate in any of the crazy things we ask of him. He’s up for playing a game of ball, showing off his drawing skills, and answering our many questions.
