Love Without Boundaries is a organization that helps the children in China in so many different ways. This was posted on their blog a few days ago and it was wonderful to see Hudson's little orphanage friends. I have gotten to know some of the moms of these kids through the blogging world and they are family to us. We been closely following how things are going in Pingliang and are thrilled that two of the kids pictured below will meet their forever families this week. When we show Hudson these pictures he says "Ohhhh" and gives the kids kisses!! We love you Pingliang kids, Mrs. Yang and the wonderful Ayis!!
Perfect Timing

The following photos are from an orphanage located in Gansu Province, just north of Sichuan. The building, like so many others, was damaged by an aftershock. All 80 children have been living outside in tents to keep safe. Unfortunately, the weather has been damp and chilly.
Love Without Boundaries was able to contact the director and found out they were in need of warm clothing and diapers. In perfect timing, we had just finished a clothing fundraiser for this SWI, through our Orphanage Assistance program! Due to the generosity of the SWI adoptive parent group, we were able to send a large shipment of clothing and diapers just when they were needed most.
Don't the babies look snug in their new clothes
It looks like some of the children are enjoying several sets of clothing....
It appears the sun has at last come out. How wonderful it is to see the children warm and dry, enjoying the day in their walkers.
I love how the babies clap and wave, unaware of the tragedy nearby.
One of these little guys will join his forever family in just a few weeks. His anxious mama was relieved to see pictures of him safe and sound!
We are thankful for all the loving Ayis in the earthquake area who are working so hard to keep the children fed, warm, and safe, despite their difficult circumstances.
