This is the adoption agency we used to bring Shaoey home.

This is a wonderful organization that works with the orphanages in China. With donations, they are able to sponsor children to receive extra attention from nannies and teachers and also to sponsor nannies to work in the orphanages. Fifty dollars sponsors a nanny to work for 1 whole month. They have also purchased playsets for the children.

This is a great site to pick up on a few Chinese phrases. Zhu4 ni3 hao3 yun4

Started by Christian music artist Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife Mary Beth, this site offers financial help to those who feel led to bring a child into their families through adoption.

A great website for babybooks specifically for children adopted from China!

Be sure to turn your sound on, it's even more moving if you listen to it!

It is our (the adoptive community's) responsibility to become educated and informed, prepared for the expected hurdles we know are there and equally prepared for the unexpected pitfalls that may surprise us along the way. That is why Informed Adoption Advocates exists. It is our passion to help adoptive parents and their children arrive at the end of this process with much happiness rather than sorrow. One of the ways we are seeking to do that is through the web. Our site is designed to be informative and entertaining, educational and encouraging. Take a good look around and we are sure you will find some article or feature that will make a positive difference in your adoptive experience. We also feature Adoption 101, which we hope will become THE educational option for those agencies that require their clients to obtain some form of certified education on international adoption.

Love Without Boundaries is a worldwide group of volunteers who have realized that people with a pure love for helping children can truly make a difference. We all donate our time and resources in an attempt to brighten the lives of orphaned children in China.

This is the site I used to buy our baby carrier.
