starting the change.

I wanted to share a clip of the documentary that really started a change towards Chinese adoption. I would love to say that I'm convinced everything is changed, but after reading Silent Tears, I have trouble believing it.
The Dying Rooms was a documentary filmed in China by three British journalists. They posed as orphanage workers, and filmed their findings with secret cameras. They found multiple cases of deliberate neglect of young children. But what they showed in the latter part of the documentary caused an enormous outcry

Mei Ming was featured on the Oprah special 'Kids Whose faces changed the world'. I'm sure that Mei Ming did change the lives of her 'sisters'. But I can't help but wonder how many more children are still facing situations similar to what this poor baby endured.

I gain comfort in this: Mei Ming is resting in the arms of my Savior tonight. She'll never be abandoned again.
