For children in children's welfare homes, being able to return to the family is the best destination, which is also the wish of "loving mother" Yang Shouwei.
On the second floor of the Weifang Children's Welfare Institute, there is a smiley wall and 84 smiling faces, which are photos taken by the children who have been adopted from here in recent years when they leave.
Yang Shouwei, vice president of Weifang Children's Welfare Institute, said: "Our job is to hope that they can return to their families, and when we see them go home, this is our original intention and the dream of our children." ”
From the moment he enters the welfare home, Yang Shouwei will take each child to treat diseases and do rehabilitation training to prepare for the child's future entry into the family and society. When Xiao Yugang, who was suffering from ichthyosis, arrived at the welfare home, he was only two years old, his skin was crusted, and he could not speak.
"Dripping red tears, the eyelids are turned outwards, and it feels like there is no complete piece of skin in the whole body. But Sister Yang is just like (treating) her own children. Wang Min, a social department worker at the Weifang Children's Welfare Institute, said.
There is no cure for ichthyosis, but Yang Shouwei did not give up, and she took Xiaoyu to Jinan and Beijing for treatment. In the past 22 years, Yang Shouwei has accompanied more than 400 children to perform more than 600 surgeries. Some children are uncomfortable crying after the operation, and Yang Shouwei has been holding the child in his arms. Under the meticulous care of Yang Shouwei, Xiaoyu's wound began to heal, and he shouted "Mother" in surprise.
"Raise your head and bark, the corners of your mouth a little up. I was so excited that I went from being two years old to more than three years old, almost two years old, and she called me mom. Yang Shouwei, vice president of weifang children's welfare institute, said.
The little girl doll, who was once full of disease marks, became a lively and smiling little girl, and at the age of 8, Xiao Yu was adopted by a loving family. Over the years, 467 children in welfare homes have found adoptive parents and regained their own homes.
Growing up archives, every child in a welfare home has a copy. Birth footprints handprints, can walk, change teeth ... These growth moments that are transferred to the hands of adoptive parents are to make up for the lack of companionship and allow children to integrate into the new family faster. Despite the great concern, after the child left, Yang Shouwei never took the initiative to contact the child.
Yang Shouwei, vice president of the Weifang Children's Welfare Institute, said: "Usually, we may fantasize about whether this child is going to school and has gone to a few grades. But we also just look at the pictures, because I think it's not easy for a child to have a complete family. Every child in my imagination is a smiling face in front of my eyes. ”
