2012 Britt's Super Kids Where are they now? Have you ever wondered what our granted children do after they come home to their forever families? We asked some of our Britt's Kids how they're doing and received some great letters! If you would like to keep up to date with our Super Kids, subscribe to our email list today! JiaQun JiaQun's mom reflects on the past year: The kids are very involved in the community. All three of them are highly active in Cavan's organization, Socks for Vets. JiaQun LOVES visiting the Veterans and it has actually been an amazing cultural exchange because a great deal of the Vets we visit fought in the Pacific during WWII, Korea and Vietnam. At first, they had preconceptions of our little angel bear, but soon came to be one of the favorites at the Veteran's homes. It's pretty amazing. One of the photos enclosed is of JiaQun with a Veteran from Vietnam. JiaQun's health and development, for sure. He is struggling to understand what we tell him. He knows words, but doesn't understand how to use them. That is so frustrating for him, especially when something is wrong. As his family, we struggle too because we want to know what is going on and how to help him.JiaQun loves visiting the Vets, animals, and feeding the homeless. Loves it. I think it is all of the socializing. :) He also loves cars. Anything to do with cars and he is THERE. Yo Shen Yo Shen is doing great! He's in kindergarten and is thriving. He's already been in our local paper with his kindergarten class 3 or 4 times and he's always front and center in the photos - he's a ham! He is friendly, outgoing and full of life (which is the meaning of 'You Shen' in Mandarin, by the way!). We're pretty introverted people, but he is a complete extrovert and has forced our whole family OUT! He still has some surgery ahead this summer, but he faces life without fear.
