A Very Special Sponsor Family!
I have said it before, we are blessed with wonderful sponsors at Pearl River Outreach!
We have a very special family in the Netherlands that have allowed us to make sure our Hengshan babies are toasty and warm this winter! They sent us a donation and asked us to buy warm clothes for the kids. They also happen to be Jamison's sponsors. So, not only did Jamison get to celebrate his birthday in style this year. He also got to celebrate in a new hat, mittens, scarf, shoes and a snow suit! And, so did his friends!!!!
Thank you "V" family, for loving our Bamboo Babies! And, for making Jamison feel so very special! You are a blessing to our Hengshan babies!! And, we are truly grateful for your great big hearts and your generosity!

Happy Birthday Jamison and Oliver!!
Thanks to a very special family, we are now able to celebrate the birthdays of our Bamboo Babies in a special way! We have received a donation that allows us to make each one of our babies feel extra special on their birthdays by celebrating with a cake, and even a party with their friends!! The first of these birthdays just happened recently. I am so excited about this amazing blessing for our kids, and their foster mothers!
Happy birthday Jamison and Oliver! And, thank you from the bottom of my heart C & M!

All I want for Christmas is a Family!
Lili is in Foster Care at Changsha, #1 in Hunan.
She was born on May 9, 2008. Lili is quiet and shy.
Her foster mother reports that her vocabulary is growing, which is really
allowing her to make her needs known.
Her foster mom also reports that she
loves Lili very much!
Gracie is our newest Bamboo Baby at Changsha #1!
She was born on April 20, 2009. Gracie tends to
be shy and to play independently when she is in a group setting
with other children. She is a sweetie!
Precious Gabriella has been with our Zhanjiang program since June, 2008.
She is 5 years old, with a birthdate of April 28, 2005. We continue
to pray that Gabriella will find her family. She is quiet
and reserved. Her foster mom tells us her favorite thing is to go
to the park near their home.
Adorable Chloe is also at Zhanjiang, in the Guangdong Province.
She was born on March 6, 2009.
Chloe's foster mom reports while developmentally
delayed, she is in good health! She says she get's tired
keeping up with her!! Chloe's favorite food is fish.
Do you have room on your Christmas lists this year to sponsor one of these children?
$35 per month, $420 per year, $1.15 per day...
Contact me at diana@pearlriveroutreach.org or go directly to our sponsor tab and sign up!
Blessings,
Diana

What Love Can Do!
"Lindsey" from Hengshan... This special Bamboo Baby has been home with her forever family now for almost one year.. Look what love can do!
Best friends in China, and still best friends in the United States!!!!
Sienna (Diana's daughter!) and Shaelee!
Forever Friends!
So to all of our wonderful sponsors, and friends to Pearl River!! This is why we do this!
Our goal is to prepare our precious children for the joy of a family!
To teach them how to love and trust!
We will not always have the chance to follow our children once they are placed. But, when we do it is such a blessing!
We are in desperate need for sponsors (ELEVEN!) So, please contact me if you are interested in providing just one child the chance to be loved!

Will You Give the Gift of Hope? 12 Sponsorships Needed!!
For $35.00 per month, $105 quarterly or $420 a year.. This gift gives one of our children the ability to live with a family. It gives them food, formula, clothing. But, most of all it gives them a foster family who can teach them to trust and love. How do I know this to be true....? Because today I am leaving on a plane to visit one of our precious babies. Do you remember "Lindsey"?
She was a Bamboo Baby for almost four years. She has now been home with her forever family for one almost 12 months. She is thriving... Why? Because with the help of her sponsors Lindsey was in foster care where she learned how to love and be loved. She learned how to hold hands, give kisses, hug her family, how to express herself, how to be a part of a family, how to bond. She was given the chance of a future, because of four families who said "yes!" So if you don't think your support will make a difference, please trust me when I say, it will! And, it does!
Here are the nine Bamboo Babies that need your help now!!!!

If you would like to join our group of Bamboo Baby Sponsors you can go directly to our donations tab here. Please email me too, and let me know that you have a specific child you would like to be matched with. I do my best to accommodate those requests! Your commitment is for one year, with the hope that you will renew! If your child is adopted during your sponsorship, you will be matched with a new child.
My goal is to be at 100% sponsorship again by the end of October! Will you please help me get there?
Blessings,
Diana

*I will be traveling until the 23rd. So, I will get back to all sponsor requests the week of the 24th.
Birthday Cuties!
Two of our precious Bamboo Babies celebrated birthdays in Zhanjiang yesterday, Ainsley and Jayden! Ainsley turned three and Jayden turned two. Our prayer is that you are matched with your forever families this year!
Happy Belated Birthdays Girls!!

Introducing Our Newest Babies!
August was a fantastic month. Many of our Pearl River Babies met their forever families. We said farewell to: Heidi, Caitlin, Ciera, Zach and Liam. Two of our children were adopted domestically! And, two went to Spain, and one to the United States! This is why we do this, to prepare our precious children for their future! We are so happy when they are placed in loving homes!
September began with eight new Bamboo Babies! They are all at Changsha #1, and they are all precious! I have noted below the babies that need sponsors. If you are interested you can email me at diana@pearlriveroutreach.com. Or, you can go directly to our Changsha donations tab and sign up for your annual sponsorship here. Please let us know the child you would like to sponsor and I will do my best to make that happen.

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.
