SOUTH CHINA IN CRISIS

Hi everyone,
We got this message today from our adoption agency about the massive blizzards in South China that are causing devastation and deaths. South China is a hot and humid area that is not prepared to deal with freezing temps. We traveled to South China to get Nate and finish our adoption process....I can't imagine being a family having to travel there now or wondering if the baby you're waiting for is ok. Please keep this in prayer and if you feel motivated to help, click the link below in your browser to do that.

Dear Friends of Children's Hope -

South China has been hit by massive winter storms and frigid temperatures that have devastated entire provinces, causing water shortages, power outages, and freezing deaths. Few people have heaters or other cold weather resources in this sub-tropical climate, and most orphanages are ill-equipped to keep the children warm and fed during this crisis.

Join the emergency effort to reach more than 1,000 children in 10 orphanages in the hardest hit areas with warm clothes, bedding, heaters, food, water, and other critical supplies - go to www.HelpAnOrphan.org to learn more from Melody Zhang in Beijing and find out how you can help.

Thank you for sharing your blessings with children in need,
The Children's Hope Development Aid Team.

Thank you for posting that. Bailey is in maogang SWI/district. I wish I could hear how they are. Every blog I've been to has posted this so I hope it will help.

PS I have a fillipino sister in law and their children look so much like their mom. So I have fillipino blood relatives! Also my friend Romona who is on the blog posted last Feb 07. She has been on a few commercials and was a Rams cheerleader. We are the same age and she just HAD her third baby too! it is not fair how she doesn't age!! lol Now we know why you are so pretty!
