Save This Date!

Mia and her forever family met on January 16, 2006.






On Saturday, May 17th, 2008, theAsianBridge will hold it's 2nd annual silent and live auction fundraiser. It will once again be held at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Glen Ellyn. Proceeds from the auction will provide financial grants for families adopting from Asian countries. We have many applications pending, and we'd love to be able to help each and every family provide an orphaned child with a loving family and home.
You can help more children find their forever homes by being a part of our fundraising efforts. There are many ways in which you can help including:

1. Obtaining auction items

* Solicit merchants in your community.
* Request auction items from the company you work for.
* Donate an item of your own.

2. Assist administratively
