I hope Ti Ali was one of the lucky ones who reached Pittsburgh today.

And we've been glued to the reports about the children in orphanages ... and Alexander. We watched the footage of him in the blue shirt, pointing at the camera and tugging on his shirt. Both of my girls are very concerned about what will happen to the children (I've explained the process of adoption several times over the last few days); my youngest asked me this morning "Did Alexander get home yet?". Please know that my little family, all the way up here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada are thinking about you guys and praying for you. All our best, The McNeils Jean and Russ,

We just adopted last year, a child from the U.S., and ... I don't even have words for all that I am feeling about this. I cannot possibly imagine all that you are feeling right now. I am not a person who prays, not often, but I will be praying for you, and for Jamie and Ali, and most especially for those children. Much respect, and many blessing. Keeping you in my thoughts.

I'm so deeply sorry you are going through this. Please know that I'm sending prayers and thoughts of Peace, comfort and more Peace to you, your husband and of course, your beautiful son, Alexander. I have two internationally adopted daughters myself and my youngest (from China) was caught up in the 'slowdown' etc... while I cannot fathom what you are experiencing right now- I have the deepest compassion for you and your husband. Blessings and Godspeed to you all, Shannon Jean,
