An item from my To-Do list that I could use some help with

To Do: Pack a box (or 2) of gently-used infant clothes & toys.

I would like to be able to bless Miranda's orphanage with clothing and toys for ages 3-24 months. From Miranda's referral picture, I could tell that what was shown was likely the "best face" of the orphanage - the brightest-colored outfit (shared among all babies) and the most colorful accessories/toys.

Earlier, when I asked my adoption agency for permission to donate clothes/toys, the answer was "No. One-time donations would be disruptive". But I am still going to try. I'm hoping that a personal delivery might make a difference, and bringing enough clothing for everyone, not just special individual children, will show that it will not be disruptive. I know that our gently used baby items can go a long way to clothe and bless the kids in the AnQing orphanage!

Please email me to let me know if you are able to help! Many thanks in advance.

THANK YOU to the ladies at MOPs and the United Faith Preschool - I received a box of *VERY NICE* outfits for the orphans at Anqing. I have sorted them by size and we have over 50 outfits for ages 0-9mths. Please continue to send them in, and larger sizes are welcome!
