Layers upon Layers January, 2013

Many people wonder why the chinese layer the clothing, especially for babies. It's cold! Usually the average temp is still 56 - 60 degrees F even with heat. The govt. controls the heating so we can't turn it up or down. The little one is layered and has split pants too, but a diaper on for protection:)

Helen Helps!!! December, 2012

Helen, an intern who volunteered with our children last Spring, went back to Australia and had a very successful fundraiser for Swallow's Nest. She got area businesses to donate prizes, a local pub to donate a meeting room, and she had a raffle. This money was used to pay for our heating for home and the surplus was used to buy extra nutritional formula for some babies that were having some symptoms of failure to thrive. We appreciate her and her friends.

Crying Nannies October, 2012

Our house at Gang Po Lu is filled with crying nannies as this little one leaves with her new family. It is difficult but there are 3 more new babies for them to love. But each one has a special place in our hearts and each one is a favorite. Little Yin Huan is being adopted this week. She's been with us a long time and many have been involved in her care. Special thanks to our catholic friends in Shanghai and the special visitor from Japan who was visiting in Shanghai. These folks paid for her surgery over two years ago.
