Below is a link to a video that was just produced for Alliance For Children Foundation by Academy Award(tm) Winning Actress Marcia Gay Harden and her husband. This video beautifully explains what they do at the Foundation and what they hope to accomplish.

China Program Update-AFC Email
Hello Alliance families!
Happy New Year to you all!
Referrals
It has been another disappointing month. This batch of referrals has been a small one, only covering 5 days of log-in dates, from December 15th to December 19th, 2005. Therefore, Alliance hasn’t received any referrals from this batch. Our next log-in date is December 27th, 2005.
We hope we can have good news to share before Chinese New Year.
Happy New Year to you all!

China Ghosts
China Ghosts: My Daughter's Journey to America, My Passage to Fatherhood
We loved this book! Over the holiday season we both read this and found it to be a fascinating read about a father who went to Changsha to adopt his daughter Jin Yu. Jeff Gammage is a journalist for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Gammage writes, "Having a child enables you to imagine every child as your own." He finds it a revelation how much he loves her but is full of contradictory emotions regarding her origins: angry that she was abandoned as an infant and had to suffer her first two years in a Chinese orphanage, but grateful to China for granting him such a wonderful daughter. He views Chinese adoption as "a place where elation is paired with regret and hope stands as companion to sorrow."
