Let's think of them and pray in whatever faith or form, for them. We need to let them grieve. Tempting as wanting to know when things will speed up for us is, right now, it is not the time. Thank you for the links to where we can contribute and donate. I would imagine that yes, adoptions will slow down. Let’s think of them and pray in whatever faith or form, for them.

Which is good on that side of the picture for those families that are grieving and those babies/children that need families. It is hard on this side when our hearts/homes have been so ready for a child for so long. it would logical seem possible that IA’s would almost stop altogether while those that have lost children in the tragedy look to fill their homes again with a child.

We will make timely arrangement and help the institutions rebuild themselves after the disaster. This is the CCAA’s “Press Release”

My agency just put out an email about their relief fund, but they are keeping 10% for "administrative expenses". I want to respond to the email group with a list of other funds where 100% goes to China, especially to orphanages and children. All I have right now is Love Without Boundaries.

They are, however, taking 10% of the donation for "administrative expenses", which makes me crazy! I found on the Love Without Boundaries site that 100% of donations to their fund goes to China. I would like to respond to my agency's "generous" offer with a list of alternatives where 100% of the donation reaches those in need. Can anyone help me with a list of links? Thanks!!!

My heart goes out to those parents I also wonder if this will create more demand for orphans from within China (which is great for them) and possibly slow things down for us (which isn't so great for us). Just thinking outloud in text format. Anyone else have this worry?
