“Each child at the orphanage described in Unseen Tears left an imprint on our hearts. One has come to our home in the States as we legally adopted her, but the rest of her friends at the orphanage in China need continued assistance with physical, financial, and nutritional challenges, and most of all, they need our prayers.”

~ Robin Cronin, Adoptive Parent

There are so many current world events that are loud and chaotic, demanding our attention. Yet Beau’s book refocuses our attention on a group of children who are quietly hidden away but desperately needing our attention. With his first person account, this book touched my heart for the disabled children of China.”

This book shows the huge need for an ever growing special needs population in China to be loved and adored just like any other child in the world.”
