We're pleased to announce that WACAP has received a $25,000 P&G Live, Learn and Thrive grant from Procter & Gamble to help us expand the Russia Milk Fund.

To date, due to financial constraints, Russia Milk Fund support has been limited to only those children with the most acute health problems. But this year, WACAP has committed to bringing this critical program to all the children in the institutions served by the Milk Fund in three Russian regions.

Now, thanks to the P&G grant, your donation to the Russia Milk Fund is matched, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000! Please make a gift to the Russia Milk Fund today. Your online donation will be processed through PayPal on a secure server. Or call us at 206-575-4550 to donate.

WACAP has worked in Russia since 1993, and has found families for more than 800 Russian children.

A Family for Me is WACAP's project to help find families for local kids in foster care. These kids are featured on "QKids" every Monday at 8:45 a.m. on Q13-FOX.

Eddie appeared on QKids on Monday, Aug. 18. He is an intelligent boy with a good sense of humor. He thinks quickly and often responds playfully, but also has a serious, thoughtful side. Eddie says his favorite subject at school is lunch, but adds that math is OK too. He loves computers, electronics and his new puppy, Cooper. Eddie’s willing to take risks and try new things. He’s hoping for parents who really want him to be part of their family and appreciate him for who he is.

If you have any questions about A Family for Me or QKids, please call us at 1-800-732-1887 or by e-mail. (For general questions about WACAP and adoption, call 206-575-4550 or 1-800-732-1887.)

These well-traveled suitcases are stuffed with donations for orphans in India and Thailand. When WACAP's staff members return with empty bags, we'll need your help filling them up again with new clothes, toiletries, school supplies and other in-kind donations. Over the years, we've delivered literally tons of supplies to orphanages this way. Your gifts can make a world of difference to a child. Check here for guidelines, and how you can help.

Mary Moo, vice president of international adoptions, is WACAP's Employee of the Month. Mary’s knowledge and background of Asian history and culture, her foreign language skills, her unquestioned commitment to WACAP’s mission statement and her enviable ability to balance all facets of her life impress her co-workers daily. Colleagues praised her management skills, professional demeanor, and intelligent analysis of issues and challenges. "Mary is always calm, collected, and easy-going," said one colleague, "even when she is single-handedly managing three or four programs at once while staff takes vacation or are out sick." Another put it this way: "Mary Moo is the adoption world’s equivalent of a rock star!"
