[blparent] Fw: [blindkid] URGENT $12650 grant, girl, orphan, blind, 3/9 adoption deadline, Asia

Tue Feb 23 17:59:31 UTC 2010

I called about that yesterday.  apparently, this is a normal procedure for 
China.  I guess they put them inot a training facility to train them for 
work.  Normally, kids at foruteen are trying ot figure out who they are and 
what life is all about.
