I do NOT know anything more than what I am sharing here but will update when I learn more...
There was an earthquake today in Beijing. Conflicting reports about the magnitude are being heard, due in part to the news blackout from the Tibet conflict. Currently China is allowing nothing to be reported except the "official government" news statements.
Please pray for Logan and the children and staff at Philip Hayden Foundation. Pray for their safety and that the adults will be able to keep the children comforted. I can't imagine how scary that could be! Pray too that this does not affect the issuance of our Travel Authorization (TA), the piece of paper that gets us to China. Without a TA, we cannot get Logan a visa to enter the US. The TA is issued by the China Center for Adoption Affairs, located in Beijing.
Alos, please pray for the Tibet conflict. As it stands right now, it's not a huge issue for our travel as we're not anywhere near Tibet. But, it has changed the process by which visas are issued for us to travel, and that may impact us. Also pray for peace in the skies--with the Olympics coming this summer to Beijing there have been terrorist threats against in-China flights. We will have to fly some inside China, and somehow the thought of flying with terrorists isn't my idea of fun.
Grateful that God is in control,
Jennifer
