Introducing Ying Rong

Ying Rong is a five year old, little girl from China, who will soon be our daughter.  Ying Rong was abandoned when she was one day old. She was found outside of a hospital in Zhejiang Province, China; she has lived ever since in an orphanage. Ying Rong was born with a rare condition called sturge-weber syndrome. Sturge-weber is characterized by a port wine birthmark, which she has on her head and face. She also has seizures, a symptom of this disorder.

We first met Ying Rong in June 2016 at the Denver International Airport. She traveled to the United States with a group of orphans who were all taking part in a summer hosting program organized by CCAI - an adoption agency in Centennial Colorado. Each orphan lived with a family for one month in the United States. 

Ying Rong is a very outgoing and confident child. She loves to be held and hugged, and she is not afraid of meeting new people. She is also strong-willed and a little obstinate at times. She fits right in with our other children!
