One of the blessings of my job is working with our sponsors. We have an amazing group of families that love our kids. In the past year many of our children have met their forever families.

Recently we have had some of our sponsorship terms expire. Of course our hope is that all of our sponsors will stay on.. But, we understand when it is time to move on. We appreciate all of the support they give to our babies. It is because of our sponsors that our foster families and our China team can make a difference in the lives of our kids.

Our goal is to grow our network of sponsors. We hope that you will feel called to be Bamboo Parents. If you are waiting for a referral, will you consider sponsoring one of our children while you wait? It's a beautiful way to bring an orphan home...

Each of the five children pictured above needs one sponsor today. You can go directly to our sponsorship link HERE. Click on either the Changsha or Zhanjiang Tab. This directs you to PayPal where you can sign up. *If there is a specific child you would like to sponsor you can note that on your PayPal transaction. Or you can email me! It is $35.00 per month to sponsor one of our children. The minimum commitment is one year. Payment by check is also an option if you contact me.

If you have any questions, please email me directly at diana@pearlriveroutreach.org.

Bloggers/Sponsors: Feel free to pass this on!

Blessings,
Diana

We Need Two New Sponsors for Zhanjiang Babies!



We have been so blessed with wonderful sponsors for our Bamboo Babies. I wish there was a way to get the entire group together.. It would be a special day!

Recently we have had two spots open up for two of our babies in the Guangdong Province, Caitlin and Aiden.

Caitlin was born on May 1st, 2009. She moved from the orphanage setting to our program on July 20, 2009. In May she was 28" tall, and 17 pounds. As of this visit she was not talking yet, but understands everything. Her Foster Mother stated that she loves her very much!!

Aiden was born on August10th, 2008. As of his May visit he was 31" tall and 21 pounds. His foster mother reports that he is climbing on furniture. He loves to grab objects in his reach. He does not like it when his toys are taken away!! Sounds like a normal two year old to me!!

If you would like to join our Pearl River Outreach program by sponsoring Caitlin or Aiden please go to this link! Then click on the Zhanjiang Tab and choose the monthly, quarterly, or annual tab. We look for a minimum of one year commitments at $35.00 per month. We will be notified by PayPal of your sponsorship commitment and I will follow up with you!

If you have any questions, you can email me personally at diana@pearlriveroutreach.org.

I look forward to hearing from you!!

Blessings,
Diana

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
