Packages of Hope - China 2005

The Siping Project was inspired by Hannah.


I often refer to Hannah (Chinese name Huang Hua) as my Guardian Angel. She works as an adoption faciliator for IAAP (International Assistance and Adoption Project www.iaapadoption.com), and has assisted in over 400 adoptions to the USA since 1990, primarily special needs children.

In 2003, Hannah founded the American Special Chinese Children Assistance Center (ASCCAC) with her husband Frank, who is a pediatric doctor working in Changchun, along with financial assistance from IAAP and generous and kind families, ASCCAC has had a inspirational start.



The ASCCAC was conceived as a convalescent facility for children preparing for or immediately returning from life-saving surgeries. In addition, the facility has the goal of caring for very specific special needs children.

As of this post, my company, Siemens, has generously donated a washer and refrigerator for Hannah's facility.

In addition, a local Florida non-profit charity, A Mother's Love (www.amotherslove.net) is working with Hannah to establish an infant care program at ASCCAC.

I look forward to helping Hannah in doing what we can for these beautiful children.
