Pam and Clay Williams went to a closed country in 2003 to teach English. In 2004, their lives changed dramatically when they found a newborn baby girl at their gate. They provided the surgery she needed and gained permission from the local authorities to foster and eventually adopt her. Two years later, they founded Swallow’s Nest Children’s Home and began accepting more children into their home. While operating Swallow’s Nest Children’s Home, over 100 children were cared for, and more than 90 children found forever families through adoption.
In 2015, Pam and Clay returned to the US. They continue to support the operation of Swallow’s Nest through close communication with overseas partners, fundraising and financial oversight. They also enjoy speaking to groups on adoption-related topics.
