Voice 1:  When I was about the age of five, I was abandoned in a hospital in China. I was crying like a fierce storm.
Voice 2:  I was taken to a big building to meet my new family. My adopted family greeted me with lots of gifts and lots of love. 
Together:  Every child deserves a home and a family to care for them and love them.
Voice 1: I lived in an orphanage until a foster family took me in.  I couldn’t go to school, because I couldn’t walk alone without falling.
Voice 2; In America, I’ve had the opportunity to attend school and I love it! In second grade, I had two pelvic hip surgeries that made it possible for me to walk. 
Together: Every child deserves to be educated!
Voice 1: My foster family was very nice to me. I spent my days with my foster mom while everyone else was on their daily schedule of school and work.
Voice 2: I now have a family that truly loves me and I enjoy school and lots of other activities!
Together: Whether adopted or biological, every child deserves a life filled with love and happiness!
Voice 1:  At the age of eight, my belongings were packed up and I was returned to the orphanage without any explanation.  I was very confused and scared.
Voice 2: Life is now bright and my dreams for a family have come true! I have a desire for a college education, to get married and  have children.
Together: All children around the world deserve to have their dreams come alive! Lets help make that happen!
