In the wake of the earthquakes in central China, we've been asked several times about what we know. Most of our information is coming from here. Please visit and support Half the Sky in their efforts to provide assistance across China to all who've been affected by these terrible events. We've read about many orphanages in need of support, children that have been moved to tents or busses because buildings are no longer safe, hundreds of newly orphaned children because of these awful events, school buildings collapsed with children inside, entire cities completely devastated, etc. Please check the website for updates and find ways to contribute if you're able.
There is much sadness in the China adoption community today also because of yesterday's loss of Maria Sue Chapman. Check here for an official release of information from the family. Here is a link to our local radio station. Listed in the center of the page under "KTIS Faith Report" they have a pop out with a little more information as well.
So, please KEEP PRAYING. There is so much hurt in this world and we need to live with hope and faith that God's loving grace will guide us through it all. We just have to believe.

oh my heart is so filled with grief for this special family as well as for China itself and the aftermath of this earthquake. I pray we all make a difference some how no matter how small we think it may be. Thank you for your post....
Many prayers. These tragedies are all too much to comprehend.
I am with you Beth, too much tragedy in our world right now, its almost too much to handle and process at times.
Blessings

Wow!! I can't believe it's almost been a year (for us) when left for China (May 31st).
My heart also aches for all of those poor people in China, devastated by the earthquake, and for the Chapman family's tragic loss too....
