About Benjamin Lilu

In March 2013, the Baldwin Family was introduced to "Leo", a little boy in China with severe heart defects, through an email from their former adoption agency, CHI.  Immediately, Melissa felt a deep urgency to advocate for him and began to gather as much information as possible on him and then tell anyone and everyone about him.  The more she found out about him, the more she realized that he was a really good fit for our family.  In the midst of family discussions, investigating health insurance coverage and his medical needs and much prayer, we decided to pursue the adoption of little "Leo".  We named him Benjamin Lilu.

We have been amazed at the outpouring of support we have received from family and friends and the ways that God has opened door after door in the process.  Our prayer is that God will sustain and preserve his life while we do what we can to expedite the process to bring him home.
