our History

Living Hope Adoption Agency was founded in 1994 by Samuel and Lily Fang. The Fangs, now American citizens, are originally from China. In the winter of 1993, they had the opportunity to return to their homeland and while there, visited an orphanage near Shanghai. After witnessing the overwhelming number of children in the orphanage, their hearts were moved to open an adoption agency in the U.S. to facilitate the adoption of Chinese orphans.In June of 2000, Samuel and Lily welcomed their own daughter home, adopted from China.Adopting a child is a big step regardless of how prepared you think you may be. That is why Living Hope Adoption Agency provides prospective, adoptive parents with a full range of supportive services, all designed to make the transition of growing your family as smooth as possible. Our qualified and experienced staff is here to answer your questions and to personally assist you, step by step, through your adoption.Living Hope Adoption Agency is honored to help orphans both through international adoption and our own Children’s Homes in China through our sister humanitarian organization, Living Hope International. We are convinced that meeting the needs of orphans is an accessible goal. With care and compassion, we will do our best to prepare families for adoption and that orphaned children are provided with a loving family.
