Ciera Celebrates Chinese New Year!

So fun to see our Bamboo Babies out celebrating Chinese New Years with their Foster Mama's! This is Ciera, and her Foster Mother was kind enough to share these with us!.. Pearl River is blessed to have Foster Families that truly care about the children they are responsible for!

A belated "Gang Hay Fat Choy" to all of you from us at Pearl River!

I leave tomorrow for China to bring our newest daughter home! Until then, THANK YOU for once again coming forward to sponsor Mia, Caitlin, and Lili! I can leave the country now, knowing that our babies are all fully sponsored!!

Blessings,

Diana

Hands that Love...

Our Bamboo Babies were recently blessed with beautiful hand sewn quilts from a special worldwide organization, named The Relief Society. Their motto is "Charity Never Faileth." Women from 18+ are members. This specific fabulous group of women is in Lawton, Oklahoma. Many of these special ladies are Army Wives, stationed at Fort Sill, OK.

We at Pearl River Outreach, our so grateful for the beautiful quilts that you have given our children. And, thank you for using your gifts to bless our Bamboo Babies!

Please know, each stitch is now being loved on and appreciated!

Some of their beautiful work!
