I've been kind of quiet for a while friends. April Udihuri and I have
been very busy getting the word out about the great kids Gongzhan and i
met in the JiangXi province. So now i have a special post. Today was a
day where the air was filled with magic. I was lucky enough to be on
the Autumn moon festival cruise with the CCCWA and well over 100
families and children. My dear friend Erin Martin, and her family were
there. I had the privilege of meeting her youngest daughter twice in
China before she came home. There were so many miracles that I saw on
this cruise. Families who found there children and children who found
their families. During the cruise, we completed some squares for a
tribute quilt. We asked children and families touched by adoption to
pay tribute to all the children who still wait for their forever family.
They drew a picture, traced their hand or wrote a message on the
squares. I will assemble the squares and we will present this quilt to
the CCCWA in the future when Gongzhan and I go to China.
So of course, I had so much fun working with the kids, I got no
pictures, except for one of the statue of liberty out the window as
everyone was eating lunch. So if you want to see some shots of this
magical day, check out Erin's blog. I am sure she will post some shots.

Here are a couple of pics of the kids quilt squares. Although today was
really special and magical, there are many children who still wait for
that forever family. Remember, everyone can do something to help these
kids find their forever family. Outreach to friends and thru your
online and actual community. Send prayers, positive energy, remember
someone in your community who is waiting, or has just adopted. Reach out
with a meal or help them in their fundraiser. Everyone really can do
something.
