In March, 1994, the Gladney Center for Adoption's first internationally adopted child came home to the United States from Shanghai, China. Since that time, Gladney has placed nearly 1000 healthy infants and toddlers, and children of all ages with special needs, with families living in the United States. Over the past several years, adoption from China has emerged as an effective way to make or grow a family.

The Guiyang Moms
Also from an article on Xinhuanet:
More than 10,000 “Guiyang Moms” came forward to adopt orphans from the current earthquake. Guiyang city is the capital of Guizhou province, which is the neighboring province of Sichuan.
The first photo shows the Guiyang city bureau of civil affairs recruiting families to adopt newly orphaned children. The second photo is people filling out adoption applications.

What will happen to our Child that has already been matched with us? We already recieved our LOA and are waiting to travel to get him. He is in Deyang one of the hardest hit cities. I'm so worried that he will be offered up to local families. We've been waiting 6 months to get him, losing him would be devastating for our whole family.
