URGENT...

If you would please consider donating 10 dollars to our chip in account it would be so greatly appreciated. If you are in the process of adopting and are not traveling soon I would be happy to donate the money back to you when we return... most likely in January. Just do the chip in and write " also adopting"

we also have a magazine fundraiser ----->... easy to order your fav magazines and a portion will come back to Zoe..

The t shirts are great .... think about getting one. 20$ including shipping

Here is the message from her Foster Home supervisor

"XinHui cried as I hold her to down stairs, she cried for the nannies there, and even cried harder when we get on the taxi, then I talked with her, XinHui needed to get on the car, on the train and on the bus, to the orphanage to do passport and Mama will come to pick you home, she stopped at once and looked at me, said Mama come! I said Yes, your mama is coming to pick you up very soon. "

and yes I was in tears as I read it..

Please pass our chip in around. I am seriuosly desperate now. I am not even sure if it would be possible for me to delay the adoption since I will be close to the cut off for travel dates( 3mos from ta to travel) thanks for your consideration... Zoe's mama

The Starfish StoryOriginal Story by: Loren Eisley

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”
The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”
“Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”
After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said…”I made a difference for that one.”
