Look Who is Home!




One of the very best parts of this job is connecting with families after they are home with our Bamboo Babies! I have been blessed to connect with three in the last few months that are home, and one who is about to travel. This is why we do what we do... It is to give these beautiful children the foundation and love they need to thrive with their forever families!

Do you recognize this cutie? Does she look like the little girl on our header second in from the right? YES, it is precious "Kiley"!!!! She is 2 1/2 now and she has been home with her family since November! From the pictures I have seen and the emails I have received from her sweet Mom, she is doing great!

I will always have a special place in my heart for Miss "Kiley"! She was the first child I ever sponsored at Pearl River! That special day led me to this job, and ultimately to our new daughter. You just never know what's going to happen when you sponsor a Bamboo Baby!

Thanks to "Kiley's" family for allowing us to post her pictures here! We are thrilled that she is home, happy, and loved!

Blessings,
Diana

Our Bamboo Babies Need Your Help!!

Welcome back to the Pearl River Blog. As you can see we have had a little makeover! We are so thrilled with what the talented Design Girl did for us! Thank you Danielle!

My name is Diana and I am the newest member of the PRO team. I am thrilled to be here. I am blessed to have two children, one who is from China. I have a heart for orphans, and the opportunity to give back in this way is an awesome blessing for me! One year ago a friend asked me to help with the sponsorship of a Bamboo Baby. I was so touched to be asked to help. $35.00 a month seemed like so little to provide food, shelter, and love to another. I hope you will feel the same way, and that you will join our Pearl River Family today.

Our goal is to have 4 sponsor families per child. This allows us to keep the cost of sponsorship low while meeting the rising costs of formula, and overall support of our children. Below are our precious Bamboo Babies that need sponsors immediately!

Also, before I lose my audience, please take note of the adorable button on the sidebar that Danielle created for our blog. We would love to be linked to as many of you as possible. And, if you do, please leave me a comment! And, if you are a sponsor or frequent visitor and you would like us to link to your blog, please let me know that too!

Without further ado, I present our babies who need YOU!

If you would like to sponsor one of our babies, please go here! Or, to our donate button on the side bar. Then click on the program where the specific child is that you would like to sponsor. (You can email me the name of the child you would like, or you can make a note on your paypal order too.) You can set up your account to pay monthly, quarterly, or annually. You can use PayPal, or you can send a check to PRO. If you choose to pay monthly or quarterly, your account will be automatically deducted after the first payment. As a sponsor you will get quarterly updates and a photo of your child. If you aren't interested in sponsoring a child, but would like to help, there are so many other ways. A donation to honor a friend or family member is a great way to give a gift! This is my new favorite birthday gift for my friends!

We will do our best to honor your wishes to sponsor a specific child. Our goal is for all of our Bamboo Babies to be loved until they can be adopted. When your child is placed with their forever family, we will joyfully notify you and assign another one of our kiddos to your family!

We are grateful for your gifts, and for your prayers for our children!

If you visited us today, we would love to hear from you! Blessings to you, and welcome back to Pearl River! I hope you will come back soon. I will be posting frequently about our kids, families, sponsors, and opportunities!
