Reece's Rainbow

As we continue with Adoption Awareness Month, today I'd like to highlight Reece's Rainbow and their ministry to orphans throughout the world.

Andrea Roberts is the proud mom of Reece, an adorable young man who was born with a little something extra that makes him extra-special! Reece was born with Down Syndrome. And in 2004, Reece's Rainbow was started "as an outreach program serving new families with babies with Down Syndrome" in Atlanta. In 2006, the program expanded to promote the international adoption of children with Down Syndrome. Click HERE to learn more about Reece's Rainbow.
They've also expanded to promote the adoption of other special needs children, called "Other Angels" - click HERE to learn more about them.

You can click HERE to see many of the faces of children who've been united with their forever families thanks to Reece's Rainbow.

You can sponsor a child through the Christmas Angel Tree Project by clicking HERE. When you donate $35 or more, you will receive an ornament of your sponsored child.

You can sponsor an adoptive family by clicking HERE. International adoption is not cheap, and these families can definitely use the extra help as they seek to bring their children home.

Or if you're interested in adopting one of these children (that includes Vera!!), click HERE to see some of their precious faces. And click HERE to learn more about the requirements for adoptive families.

:) have you seen sweet Alina who is in the same orphanage as Vera? Cp and possible hydrocephalus (she doesn't apear to have it) if she does have it - it is SO easily treatable - and beyond that based on description I would bet she might be walking by now or will be with some pt! Maybe if you raise funds again you could for her? :) she needs a family (I so wish I could bring home vika, vera, and alina...three cp sweet hearts)
