Parents of the Year Help Place Chinese Orphans

Parents of the year spread the joy
Art, Amy and Anna Zhong have the best parents in Colorado.

For the year, at least.

Their parents, Joshua Zhong, 44, and Lily Nie, 43, were named Colorado Parents of the Year Monday by the Colorado Parents' Day Council.

The recognition goes beyond what they do as parents of their own 16-year-old twins and a younger adopted daughter, though - Zhong and Nie have helped many others become loving parents by placing about 7,000 children into families through Chinese Children Adoption International, an agency they established in 1992.
