One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a figure in the distance. As he got closer he realized the figure was that of a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy he asked, "What are you doing?" The youth replied, "Throwing starfish into the ocean. The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die.""Son," the man said, "Don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can't possibly make a difference." After listening politely the boy bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the surf. Then smiling at the man he said, "I made a difference for that one."

I am already in the process of adopting through China (LID 11-14-06) and am curious about some of the children you have in your care. I was reading your last post and noticed Breanna. All these kiddos are cute, but she just really jumps out at me. How would I got about getting more information on her? Or is that even possible?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to email me back.
