CHINA :: A baby has landed

Each time we share a new baby's story with you, we are reminded of this beautiful poemby Joan Margalith entitled "The Babies Are Landing":

...There are so many places to land on Earth.

It all gets decided long before birth.

Every baby's landing is carefully planned

at this very moment, in that very land.

And it's just as sure as the nose on your face,

that each baby lands in exactly the right place...

Baby ZZT has indeed landed at just the right place—into the loving hands of the caregivers at Swallows Nest Children's Home in China. She is the first child that The Red Thread Promise is sponsoring in 2013.

Born with hydrocephalus, she has many challenges ahead. We are grateful that she has already received surgery for her condition and is recovering in the skilled hands of Swallows Nest's nannies. 

With your support, Baby ZZT will continue her recovery and grow into the healthy child she was meant to be. Her monthly care is $175 ($125 for the nanny / $50 for foster care). Donations can be made via PayPal or by check - information can be found in the sidebar at the right. 

Thank you for keeping Baby ZZT in your thoughts and prayers. 

CHINA :: Baby XX update

Baby XX, May 2012

Will you look at how Baby XX is growing! We received some new photos of her from Swallows Nest and have heard that she is doing well. As you know, she already received her surgery to treat her spina bifida and The Red Thread is supporting her post-surgical care. 

We are unsure if she has been placed on the adoption list yet, but we do know one thing for sure: your support of this beautiful child has made a significant impact on her life. For this, we thank you.

We will be supporting Baby XX until she is matched with a family, a process that could take 2 years or more. She will require frequent doctor's visits and other specialized care as she recovers from surgery and moves forward in a better state of health. If you would like to be a part of Baby XX's life, please send your tax deductible donation for her treatment and care to:
