Can you read this without tears?

Amy Eldridge has written eloquently today on the Love Without Boundaries blog about older orphans and their desperate desire for a family.  I challenge all of you to read this without tears…and then pass it on via your blog, via Twitter, via Facebook.  As Amy says about these children, “If not us, then who?”

ON MY OWN, by Amy Eldridge


Under Chinese law, after the age of 14 children are no longer adoptable.  Can you imagine the anguish and despair these children feel when they have their 14^th birthday without a family?  Options in China for orphans are few.  Family is everything.

To learn more about Chinese older child adoption, also written by Amy Eldridge, click through to Annie’s Wonderful Waiting Children blog.  It will enlighten and sadden you.

Then, visit Love Without Boundaries and choose a child to sponsor for an education, into foster care or for a surgery that will increase their chances of being adopted.  Spread the word about adoption.  Talk to people at your church, your office, your school.  But above all, pray for China’s orphans.
