them tell the story of the miracle of adoption, and all of these beautiful children waiting for a place to belong. So that's what we did! And we are still doing...
We sell note cards and t-shirts and posters and bags and stuff with our paintings on them and then we give the money to organizations like Love Without Boundaries, Half The Sky & New Day Creations to help the kids with their great programs. It is so cool to be able to do something that directly changes the life of another child! We also hold donation birthday parties and try to encourage others to do the same. Just by giving up gifts on our birthdays we have funded cleft surgeries, sponsored foster care and fed orphanages! When we came home from China, and walked into our room again, we were amazed by how blessed we were. We decided it was time to start giving back! The past year has been so fun and amazing. We still find it hard to believe we are helping so many children. We are always looking for new ways to use our talents to help more thought. This has become our #1 pastime. Nothing else feels better! As kids, we can be very powerful. All of our little efforts really ad up- fast! Please join us and see what a difference we can make; if we all join together, we can be really BIG!

We were making books for Sophia as Christmas presents. Our mom was looking at the pictures and thought they were really special. She thought other people might like them too. Sending Our Love: Destination China was born. She told us to put our hearts into the pictures and have
