Earthquake in China

Thank you everyone for your calls, emails, and questions about Jackson. Thankfully, the area where he is from was not effected by the quake. Our agency reported that "we spoke with both Lu and Tong this morning. Buildings in Nanjing were shaking, but there has been no damage or loss of life in Jiangsu Province.

We are so thankful that his has not effected our little one directly, but his has impacted the lives of thousands throughout China. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. The news reports have been so grim as many parents have lost their only child as a result of the quake and buildings collapsing.

If you would like more information about the earth quake, or if you would like to donate to the relief efforts there are several reputable organizations that work directly with the orphanages throughout China and in the effected regions.

Please keep China in your prayers. Thanks!
