Several years ago, the founder of our adoption agency, Joshua Zhong, started a great organization called Chinese Children Charities. For years, he and his wife have traveled to China to lead medical missions, to teach child care training courses at orphanages, and have successfully lobbied the government as child care advocates. The have founded several well equipped child care facilities in China all the while applying state-side cash donations to the purchase of critical orphanage supplies such as formula, clothes, blankets, and heaters.
All of us with strong emotional ties to China, have been deeply saddened by the recent earthquake in China's Sichuan province. The epicenter was only several hundred miles from Eliza's orphanage. Recently Joshua did an interview discussing the situation in the earthquake area. Here is a link to the video.

We've been thinking about you since we heard about the earthquake and wondering how close it was to the orphanage. We will continue to pray for China and everyone affected.
We would love to get together sometime! I don't have your e-mail or phone number, so can you send it to me? tmlamay@yahoo.com Once Eliza's leg is better, it would be fun to go to the park for a picnic!
Take care! Joe, Tara, & Gabi
