Two years ago, World Racer Jenn Watson met a little Chinese boy with Down Syndrome named Zi. Jenn took a leap of faith when she asked her family to adopt him, and God opened every door to make it possible. Check out their amazing story…
Today, I’m honored to be posting at #LiveFully for my friend Evan Forester. Evan and his wife Morgan packed everything up and moved to New Zealand last summer. Now that their boxes are unpacked and they are settling in, Evan asked me to answer a few questions about adoption and orphan care for his community: Why are you so passionate about adoption? What made you move from thinking about adoption to actually living it and doing it? How has adoption led to a more full life? Have there been any unexpected challenges? How did you cope with them? How do you hope […]
Not everyone is called to adopt. But there aren’t very many people that would argue that we aren’t called to love and care for others in some way. Even the most cynical among us has to feel something, even if it’s anger or a jaded skepticism, when they see a photo of a naked, malnourished orphan standing alone in the bush on a red clay road to nowhere.

The little boy stands in the center of the dusty road, his vacant eyes looking far beyond the camera pointed at him. Flies buzz around his head. He is covered in a crust of dirt.

I am Christine Royse Niles, and I’m a writer, a recovering project manager, and a corporate refugee with a heart for orphans around the world. My two daughters were adopted from Ukraine at ages 12 and 14.
I post about writing, adoption, chasing dreams, and sometimes share snippets of a story or novel that’s in progress.
I’ve worked with bestselling authors to launch nearly a million dollars’ worth of books and online courses. I’ve seen what works (and what doesn’t), and I know what it takes for a growing writer to get your work out and grow as you go.
