Earthquake Info

This is not adoption related, but China related. Most of us, for obvious reasons, feel very strongly about our children's homeland. It is a great article form the NY Times and some very very powerful and moving photographs. I thought I was having a bad week and this put things in perspective.

I just cannot imagine this complete loss and devastation, and I can't stop thinking about it. I think that might be the saddest article I have ever read.

Here is the link to the Love Without Boundries Earthquake Aid and they have reports on the different orphanages and how they faired in the quake:

Thank you, Jess,
It's amazing that each of the orphanages have been somehow protected from the forces of nature.
