Vietnam is experiencing one of the coldest winters in history. This is causing many children in the orphanages to develop pneumonia and the rhino virus. 10 of 19 children that were diagnosed with it have died, while the rest have been hospitalized.
This is the newest article about it...

Our agency is collecting money for heaters and more formula for the babies that are in our orphanages. Luckily, none of our babies have gotten sick. One blog that I follow was not so lucky. Their little girl died last week while they waited to go get her.
Please pray that the backlog of US visas for these babies can be worked through so that they may be brought home to their families and make room for new babies in the orphanages. Until this happens, new matches will be VERY slow.
This is an excellent website that explains what is going on and what we can do to help.
