Post On Line Headline: Quake Delays Adoption

Just saw this on line. picshttp://edition.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2008/06/26/lah.quake.adoption.cnn

Speakers are working, thus I can't hear. But the pictures 'say' it all. Looks like one very happy ending for all.

I'm with jess. I bawling too! What a touching and moving story. Thank GOD that she survived. WHat a horrible feeling to not know! I have to say when I heard of the quake. My thoughts went to the poor parents and children waiting adoption. The wait for china is so long already and now with that catrophe it must be horrible just horrible. Pray for them everybody pray. They need it so bad!
