We send you warm Thanksgiving greetings from an elephant in China…
From giraffes in China…
From zoo coasters in China…
From ligers in China (WARNING: this video a bit on the shady side)…
And finally, from the Platts in China.
“Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore! He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the Lord!” (Psalm 113:2, 9).

8 years ago, we spent Thanksgiving in Kazakhstan while we were adopting our son. We cherish those memories. Enjoy yours!
