Lisa and John Bentley made the difficult decision to go to China with their four children and make a difference in the world. The couple decided to start a Christian orphanage where they could take in Beijing's children with disabilities who were considered "undesirable." Lisa admitted to the LA Times that she had trouble fitting in with the culture, she didn't really like it very much, and she was a bit homesick. Then it happened: a baby boy in a yellow jumper was discovered abandoned in a field. He was so badly burned, he looked more like a log of wood than an infant. There were bandages and marks on his arm that indicated an IV, and two dollars were stuffed into his pocket — it was clear his mother tried to save him, then gave up.
When Lisa saw the sickly little boy in the hospital, she knew he was hers. Lisa and John made the decision to adopt little Levi. Years later, Levi would return to the same field. His parents would photograph him in the same spot. The act was simple, but it represented so much more. When they found Levi, he was covered in burns and ash; just a few years later, he's a healthy, happy young boy.
