Happy Birthday.

Happy birthday sweet boy! I pray that next year, when you turn four, that you have a mommy and daddy to celabrate with, not go away forever to the institution. I love you snook-ums.
I love you, sweet boy.


Is Emory your son? Can you see him lighting up a room in your house? Do you want him to perish alone with out the love of a mommy, the happiness of a daddy, the joy of a faamily? I don't! So some one please consider him. Yes he has alot of needs but if he is your son you'd look past them, if he was born to you, you'd do anything for him. If you can't adopt, at least donate to his fund as a birthday gift!

Thank you, Amanda.

Another year?!

What do you think he's doing right now, the day before he turns 3? The day before its marks three years alone, with out anybody to love him? The day that seems like just another to a million people. I wonder what his birth mommy feels like, what his family feels like. Do they remember how beautiful this child is? Do they still love him?

Well, If he's your little boy, please, PLEASE step out now, before it's to late! I don't want him to go another year alone. Do you?
Please some one, his mommy and daddy, his family, Please, look at that sweet face, those tiny folded hands those eyes, I can't get enough of those eyes!
If I was old enough, I would bring home this angel! But I'm not, so it's my job to make sure a family comes for him, pray for him, and be his voice here in America!

This little angel boy, needs some one, some one he could look up to, some who will love him! Some one who's there for him! Will YOU be that some one?

Happy Day before your birthday, Emory!
Please give the best gift you can this year, a family! If he isnt your boy, please donate.
Thank you!

Monkey Boy, Emory.

Emory stole my heart ever since I laid eyes on him last April. He is so precious! Just look at him!
Does he look like he could be your's? Don't you just want to love him? I love him! He is so sweet look at those little fingers and eyes! His eyes say "Mommy, Daddy, please, please come save me before it's to late! please mommy! Please Daddy!!! I need your love, I need a home, I can't waste away here any more!" Those little eye's deserve to see more than the four walls of the orphanage he is in. He deserves to hear more than the same voices and crys that he hears everyday! He deserves LIFE! HE deserves a happy life! Full of JESUS and SUNSHINE!!! He NEEDS his mommy and daddy by his side! Maybe a few siblings too! He will turn 3 on the 25th of this month. Can some body, please, find him as your's so he has a birthday worth celebrating next year, so he won't be sent away to the terrible institution! I love all these kids with all my heart, because we are supposed to "Love them like Jesus, carry them to him..." (my new favorite song.) :)

Here is his picture and ReecesRainbow info!

Emory  (10)
Boy, Born February 25, 2008
 
Emory is new to this orphanage, and can be adopted with Lydiah or Evan.  He was born with anal atresia, but has already had one corrective surgery.  He currently has a tube in, and will require additional surgeries.   He does NOT have a heart condition.  Developmentally he is doing very well.  He is happy and affectionate and in need of a loving family!
Emory is still young enough to benefit from early intervention therapy!  Please give him a chance! 
 
From one of our adoptive families who visited with him in May 2010:  “ Emory had just returned from Kiev, where he had another corrective surgery. They built him a lower intestine and a rectum. He is very  frail and in desperate need of a family. The director told me that he almost didn’t make it through surgery and that the Dr’s were surprised by his will to live. The director wants very much to find him a  family and made a point to walk us down to where he was so we could get his pic.   She also showed us his corrective surgery….which caught me off guard, but she was so pleased funds were available to help this little guy!  His rebuilt rectum is at the site of where is colostomy bag was…on his lower left abdomen. He wore 2 diapers, one that went horizontal around the site and then a typical diaper. ”
 
We are so glad to have new photos of Emory, and I am personally touched by the way he clasps his hands, as if he is just praying for his family to come for him. 
$4971.1 is available towards the cost of my adoption!
 
 
So I advise YOU to "LOVE THEM LIKE JESUS"!!
Love, Amanda.

Kaleb.

My sweet, honey, Christopher, has been lucky enough to have a mommy and daddy find him! So now, I have been chosen to be sweet, Kaleb's warrior.





Boy, Born September 29, 2003
Don’t mind the pink outfit and the long hair.  This is a BOY, and a healthy one!  This photo is old, he is already 7 years old, but is doing well and needs a family!







Please, this little precious, NEEDS a mommy and daddy to love him, to tuck him in at night, to hold him when he's sad. Yes he's older, but that just makes it all the more fun. If God has laid it on your heart to adopt this precious, please step out in faith, and trust, now, before its to late, and he is sent away to an institiution.


I love you Little Kaleb. :)

Some People....

Okay, I know people are entitled to their own opinion but, to me, this lady was outrageous!
Okay let me tell you what happened, So my mom, my sister Madison, and I went to the doll show to sell some of my mom's collection to raise money to bring Josiah home. (which is really close to happening!). It was a little bit later in the day after lunch, mom and Madison got up to walk around to look at the other booths. A few people just walked by with out saying a thing, but this older couple stopped to look at the dolls.
The man said "You look bored."
I responded, "I am. I just want to sell something to bring my little brother home from EE, Here's a flyer, if you want to read it."
Then his wife says in the RUDEST tone, sort of like I was a little kid who didnt know anything, "I THINK KIDS SHOULD JUST STAY WHERE THEY'RE BORN!"

So, they just walked off to the next booth while I stand there absolutley SHOCKED at what this lady just said to me. I was getting so mad, it really bothered me, A LOT.
I texted my friend and told her what had just happened and she replied, "That's AWFUL!" 
"I know, its like would you rather them die, alone, in an institution, in Ukraine or Russia or where ever they are from then have them have a FAMILY and LIVE in AMERICA!"

Of course as soon as my mom got back I told her, she was shocked too, and especially shocked that I didnt say anything back to the lady. Since I'm the kind of person that would, but I was in such shock that I couldn't even remember what had gone on before that!

People like that can't see the blessing of ADOPTION! The blessing of bringing a child into your family, who has NO ONE, raising and loving them, and helping them get through life LOVED! The blessing of a special needs child is AMAZING! And because of this lady, and this post, I hope you decide, in your heart that adoption is an AMAZING gift, blessing From GOD! I hope you consider adopting Little Christopher or some one else on Reece's Rainbow . There are so many little blessings that need a mommy and a daddy to love them! Please help save the life of a child!
