Chinese earthquake relief information


As you may or may not know, my family is currently awaiting the call to travel to China in order to bring home our son, who waits in an orphanage in the coastal city of Shantou.

Though each bit of news from the earthquake zone in China breaks our hearts, we are greatly relieved that neither our son, nor any of the other children waiting for families in his orphanage has suffered any injury as a result of this horrific event.

Many other kids - those in central China - have not been so fortunate. Numerous orphanages and schools in Sichuan Province and in other adjacent provinces suffered catastrophic damage, and the toll of the dead and injured continues to climb.

These children are in desperate need of the basic necessities of life: food, shelter, water, clothing, medecine, etc. Their lives hang on a slender thread of aid, in many cases. Chinese Children Adoption International - the agency through which we're working to bring home our little boy, and the largest such organization in the country - has set up a new fund in order to utilize their vast network of contacts in the Chinese government, religious and charitable organizations, and other aid groups in order to directly assist orphanages.

You can donate directly to CCAI's Earthquake Relief Fund by clicking here. 100% of your (tax deductible) donation will go to help orphans in China.
