Have you guys read the post about the talk Amy Eldridge of Love Without Boundaries gave at the Chinese Heritage Camp? She spoke about how the landscape of Chinese adoption has changed and the challenges of orphan care in China. It was really informative. I get questions often from family members and friends about what's going on with adoption in China. This article spells it all out. She did a great job in sharing how things have changed and why. I would have loved to have been there for that. And she's correct in saying that adoption while it's the best thing for the orphaned child is not the solution to the orphan crisis in China. Only preventing children from being orphaned in the first place will solve the problem. I never really looked at it that way. I just always thought about the need for more families to adopt.  It kind of changes how I will be praying for the orphan crisis in this world. Anyway, it was a really good article. You should check it out if you haven't already read it.

Oh, Lisa, you've made me so happy! Not only that you linked to Amy's so-important remarks, but that you GOT it! The only way to solve the orphan crisis is to prevent kids from being orphaned!
