Chelsea's Help International

Introducing: Chelsea’s Help International – Helping Orphans in China We had fun playing with the kids at the Zhongshan Childrens Welfare Institute (ZCWI). The ZCWI is one of 56 orphanages in the province of Guangdong . The ZCWI is home to over 300 children. We wanted to do something for the place that gave Chelsea a home for the first 2 years of her life. We plan to send shipments over a couple of times a year. We want to start by sending soccer balls to our friends at the ZCWI. If you would like to help, send your contributions to: CHI PO BOX 2633 Ruston, LA 71272. We would like to send by April 1, 2013. Thanks for sharing.

Merry Christmas!!  We had a great Christmas at the DeForest house with lots of family and good times.  We thought often of our daughter whom we don't know yet.  We pray for her and the people who care for her.  Hopefully this will be the last Christmas that she is not with our family.

A couple of real sweet girls dropped by Christmas Eve and gave us the Chinese Lantern and fortune cookie ornaments and delivered the dragonfly from another friend.  We are so fortunate to have friends who have been where we are going and support and pray for us.  Thank you!

Merry Christmas to our girl!
