Help Orphans in Haiti

I am going to share a personal post that is dear to my heart today. Some of you may know that I am a mother to four boys. My husband and I are adopting an orphan in Asia. She is now 6 months old and we hope to bring her home in the Spring.

Our adoption agency also works with orphans in Haiti. With the earthquake in Haiti, they still have not received word to the status of the 3 orphanages they work with in Haiti.
Here is our quote from an email from our agency "We work with an organization in Haiti called Foye, who has 3 orphanages in Haiti housing over 300 children from all ages. We are desperately trying to receive word on how the children in the orphanages are doing and the care givers that work to take care of these children every day. We have heard from a 3rd party that the infant/ toddler orphanage is still standing but have received no word on the other two that are very close to the children's hospital that collapsed."
If you would like to donate to help these orphans, my agency, FEC has created a paypal account to allow those interested in donating to the three orphanages they work with. Anyone who would like to donate can go to http://www.paypal.com/ and click on the "Send Money" page. Enter their email address: donations@foreverychild.org and donate. As a 501c3 organization all donations are tax deductible and every penny will be used to get the supplies needed to their orphanages.
Even if you can't donate very much, a little here and there will go a long way! I want you to know that I practice what I preach, so I sent off a generous donation.

Thank you,
