We got another update from Jenny at Half the Sky about the earthquake and the news is very dismal. "As of now, Thursday afternoon in China, there are 14,866 people confirmed dead, 14,463 in Sichuan Province. There are 22,438 people reported missing – 21,020 of them in Deyang alone. There have been 3,300 aftershocks and they continue". Many orphanages have been affected, too many to list on my blog. You can go to RQ and read more on these orphanages.
My heart just goes out to all of the parents in China who have lost their only children. So very sad.
Many friends and family have asked, "Will this will affect our adoption?" We honestly have no idea. Time will tell. If you would like to give money to help with this terrible tragedy here are just two of the many places you can donate: Half the Sky or you can donate at GWCA .
Once again, please keep the people of China, especially the children, in your prayers.
