“The mission of Starfish is to save the lives of Chinese orphans with special health needs. Our vision is to provide a safe and loving home in Shaanxi province where orphans with special needs will receive nurturing care during their infancy and toddler years. Starfish will provide the best medical attention available in mainland China to meet the special needs of babies facing complex medical problems such as spina bifida, heart conditions, and cleft lips and palettes.
Striving toward this vision, we will focus on the following values:
* To expedite the movement of children out of orphanges and into the arms of loving adoptive families
* To serve as a resource center for other orphanges seeking medical care for their children
* To build a mutually supportive relationship with China’s government officials
* To facilitate correct and rapid processing of required adoption dossiers”
