Dumplings Mean Family

A new children’s book supporting Compassion International

Dumplings Mean Family by Jennifer Shaw

Dumplings Mean Family is the heartwarming story of the international adoption of the Shaw's three youngest children. As an adoptive family, the Shaws are passionate about family preservation whenever possible, and Jennifer's work with vulnerable and orphaned children through Compassion International is what sparked their desire to adopt in the first place. When you sponsor a vulnerable child, you are supporting the preservation of their family in a real and tangible way. Jennifer Shaw invites you to step into their stories and become part of the hope they are waiting for.

When you sponsor a child, you rewrite their future: from poverty to possibility, from waiting to belonging.

Choose a child today and share Love that changes a life forever.

“When Ethan and his siblings are adopted from China to the United States, everything seems so strange and different. Their new American family doesn’t even know how to make Chinese food! For Ethan’s family, embracing two cultures means learning to fold and pinch their way to dumplings that taste like home.”
