Earthquake hits China!!!!

I woke up this morning to discover a major earthquake hit in Sichuan Province. This quake had a magnitude of 7.8 and could be felt all the way in Bejing over 900 miles away. Needless to say I am terrifed for Lila. She is in Shaanxi Provnice which is just north east of Sichuan.I have not heard any reports on the the state of the orphanges and will be praying for good news. I need to get my girl home and need to know she is safe. Please pray for all of China and our little Lila! You can look on the map to the left and see where these provinces are located.

UPDATE:
My agency, CCAI, posted an update about the quake. Their rep in China doesn't think that any of the orphanges suffered an structural/major damage. They will be able to get more info tomorrow due to the 12hr time differnce. I am feeling better but pray for all those who have lost family members.

The other child in this picture in the red coat is my son John. IF that truely is Lila, we were told they were great friends! Can't wait to get them together sometime! We will be visiting Philidelphia in August and seeing some of the other children that lived there with Lila and John also and JOhn's possible twin. Hope you could join us by then!
