CHINA GROVE — Juan Estiven is 12 years old, a Colombian orphan with little chance of being adopted in his own country.
He’s not much different from the Russian kids that Kidsave founders Terry Baugh and Randi Thompson saw in orphanages in 1993. Because of the organization’s work, Juan has a chance to have his own family, one right here in Rowan County.
Ashley and Adam Pethel’s boys go to North Hills Christian School and look forward to the performance of the Children’s World Choir each January. Ashley found out what it might take to host a member of the choir, then took it another step.
