We have great news to share with our Australian supporters:
Starfish Foster Home is now an in-country partner with Global Development Group, in the "Starfish Development Project".
This means that the Australian Taxation Office has approved of this project, and that all Australian donations to this project are tax-deductible. I want to express my thanks to Dr Siew Keng Chan who did all the liaising with GDG on behalf of Starfish in Australia. Getting international tax free projects are very difficult to get approved and she did it. We are also grateful to GDG for being willing to work with us here in China.
It is important to quote the project number "J701N" with all donations, so that the donations will go to Starfish. GDG has assured me that all donated funds will go to Starfish.

Our latest adoption, Nava, will be living in Dallas,Texas with her family with two older brothers. We currently have 49 babies under the age of 3 and a half at the foster home. We have just added four boys from the Xian orphanage, Malcolm,Trevor, Jonathan and Peter.
We are currently preparing for a medical team from Australia to do a medical trip starting September 26th and help 20 babies with cleft lip and palate surgeries.
