CURRENT NEED:
Esther's and Sharon's Homes need beds for the expecting
mothers staying in residence. In Korea most people sleep
on pallets on the floor. However, the women at Esther's
and Sharon's Homes are often in the final stages of
pregnancy and a real bed will make the final months of
their pregnancy more comfortable. Each bed costs $300
(this includes a bed and trundle bed). |

Programs: |

Family Foster Care -
Approximately 400 babies are cared for in 310 selected
foster homes until they are adopted. The
children are treated with the same love and respect as
the foster families' biological children.
Wonderful bonds and attachment created between the child
and the foster family serve to strengthen the bond that
will be later established between the child and his/her
adoptive family. |

Eastern Babies' Home
- located in Seoul, South Korea,
provides a safe home for at-risk children. Children are
taken care of here before being placed in a foster home,
adoptive home, or transferred to another care facility. |

Jacob's Home
- This orphanage is set up to care for
children who are under 6 years old and whose parents
have not relinquished their parental rights.
Some of these children may be
placed through domestic adoption with families living in
Korea. At the age of 6, these children are moved
to a government-run orphanage for further care if their
birth family is still unable to care for them or they
have not been placed by domestic adoption. |

Esther's Home and
Sharon's Home - these programs were developed by
ESWS to house unwed mothers. These young girls

along with professional counseling. Both homes are
a safe, nurturing environment where the women can plan
for their baby's future along with their own. |
