More to share!!!

So I was on the Reece's Rainbow website and guess what?!?! Remember Little Miss Tatiana?? Her grant has went up!!! Yayyy!!! I am sooo excited about this. She now has $701.96!!!

Praise God! Now let's keep this little angel lifted up in prayer so that she may find her forever family!!

Little Miss Leah's grant is still at $36.00 as of today. Let's keep her lifted up as well. She needs a forever family.

Thanks for reading my blog, and thanks for listening while I try to be a voice for the children.

What's "wrong" with her????

What "wrong"  with her?

Well, she has what's called spina bifida and hydrocephalus. I put this in more simple terms, the way I've always explained it to individuals who don't exactly understand. This means her spine didn't fully close while she was in utero and she has excess fluid on her brain. It's not really that big of a deal to be honest. Yea, she doesn't walk. Quite simply put she's just like the rest of us, her legs just don't work.

This is the story I've told many, many, many, times growing up in response to the question, "What's "wrong" with her?" You see nothing is "wrong" with her. She is my sister, and I love her and she loves me back. It's hard to understand if you haven't been there. It's just not something you think about if you haven't been exposed to it your whole life. Nothing is "wrong", things are just different. And different isn't always bad.

You realize things you never noticed before. For example, just because a public place claims to be handicap accessible does not mean they necessarily are. Ramps are sometimes extremely too steep. And heavy doors can be a pain. Bathrooms are entirely too narrow, and steps are just ridiculous. Obstacles can most defiantly be overcome and challenges can be jumped like hurdles. God is in the big things, but it's even more fun to find Him in the small things. It's life. It's normal. It's mine.

Today I wonder what it's like for Nastya. She has spina bifida and hydrocephalus too. But I don't think she has a big sister. She doesn't have a family. She doesn't have a mom who will go to hell and back for her like my mom did and will continue to do for my baby sister. Who is there for Nastya? Who will be the one to let her know NOTHING is WRONG with her that she is not messed up or DISabled. Who will be there to tell her she is MORE THAN ABLE!! She is a princess too. Just like my baby sister. She is fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of GOD ALMIGHTY!!!! She has worth and value and she is somebody cuz God don't make no junk!

My heart aches for this little princess. I want her to have a family. I want her to experience what it's like to know you are loved no matter what. To understand Christ's love. How His love is unconditional, never failing, always consistent, and always overflowing.......

Progress :)

Lots of things have happened since my last post!! I have some very exciting news to share!!!! And a couple of things that are still on my heart. First with the good news :) Since my last post little Miss Helen pictured below along with little Miss Marissa have been moved to the "My Family Found Me" page on the Reece's Rainbow website!! Praise Jesus!!!! Two little girls are orphans no more!!!

I am overjoyed that these two little miracles will now have a family and a home to call their very own. Best wishes and many many blessings to both of you darlings :)

More good news...

My family has welcomed our new addition!! My little girl Aquilla was born on December 28th and at just a few weeks old she already has a personality bigger than she is. She may get that from me. Also my family has just been blessed with the opportunity to relocate. This was something that I have to give all credit to my heavenly Father for. This opportunity would not have been possible without him being involved. God is so good. I love how he places the orphan in families and moves mountains in every day life :) I can not praise or thank him enough!!!

Now for the other two little angles that were mentioned in my last post.

Little miss Valya. There is a new picture of Valya and she is also listed under the name Leah now. As far as I know Miss Leah does not have a home and a family to call hers. She is still an orphan looking.

To access Miss Leah's page click here. She currently has $36.00 in her account. Let's join together!! Let's lift her up in prayer, raise that grant amount, and help Leah find her forever family!!



Little Miss Tatiana is also still an orphan searching for her forever home. When I seen her updated picture it made me want to cry. This little princess needs a family now. She needs a mommy to hold her, and love her, and tell her how she is a daughter of the king. She needs the body of Christ to step up. Will you join with me to be her voice?

$544.46 is available towards Miss Tatiana's adoption. You can access here page here. Let's change this little girl's future. Let's find her family. Her fund has a nice start but it can always grow :) 



It would make this new mommy's heart glad if when I go back to the Reece's Rainbow website I seen both Leah and Tatiana had been moved to the "My Family Found Me" page! Let's make a difference in the lives of these two little girls!! Let's be a voice for the children. The children who have been forgotten.

Little Faces

Every time I go on the Reece's Rainbow website I find new little faces that I just fall in love with! These babies need Mommy's and Daddy's. If I could bring them all home with me I tell you I surely would. But until I am able to travel the adoption road myself (which I am eagerly anticipating), I will do what I can to help find forever families for precious little ones like these. Below are some faces that I just love. And my heart would just be so very thrilled if maybe something I shared on my blog would bring these little one's one step closer to getting home!!! See the faces that capture my heart! Maybe they will capture yours too :) And maybe, just maybe, there could be room in your heart and home for one of these little ones. And if not, maybe, just maybe, you can advocate, fundraise, or keep in daily prayer each one of them and join with me to be a voice for the children!!  


Here is Little Miss Helen. You can find here information here on the Reece's Rainbow website.

And here is Valya.

Both of these little girls are just plum adorable and I'm positive they both would love a Mommy and Daddy.

Below is Little Miss Marissa.



And one more little face for tonight. The picture below is of Little Miss Tatiana. I would love to just give here all the hugs and kisses she would ever need. Just like I would love to do the same for the little angels I listed above. Maybe I am being partial with the little girls tonight, and that could be because my little girl is due in four months. But I also have a little boy and he means the world to me. Little boys need families too. So just because they are not listed tonight doesn't mean I have forgotten about them.  

Meet Tatiana.

Thanks guys for taking the time out to read my blog and prayerfully considering adding a wonderful new member to your families.



New Information

Hey guys!

I have some wonderful news!!!! Reece's Rainbow has now made it possible for the children who are 6 years old and above to have there own grants. Before, all money raised for an older child would go to a collective grant for "older children". But as of now, the "older children" can each have a grant specifically for them. This means that Little Miss Nastya can have her very own grant. And in my opinion this means that we have taken one step closer to finding her, as well as all of the other children on Reece's Rainbow, their forever families!!!!! If that doesn't get you excited I'm really not sure at this point what will!!

So in saying that I want to make everyone out there aware that fundraising for Little Miss Nastya will go into full swing. We have to find these children families!!! I have read too many stories, seen too many pictures, and had my heart broken way too many times to let this opportunity pass me by. Even if it means these children find families just one at a time, that is progress!!! And we just don't have any time left to waste! There are children crying, starving, dying even just because they have no parents.

We have to do something! I have to do something!!! I have seen pictures of an 11 year old little girl who weighs 10 pounds, and children who should be in elementary school the size of babies still in cribs !!! These children have stopped growing!  Some have just shut down! No child should have a life like the ones I have read about!

But now is the time! For such a time is this!! Like Esther, who was put in a royal position to save her people, I believe if we allow God to do it He will bring us all into a position to help save our people, our children. Join with me and be a voice for the children!! Thank you in advance for your support, your prayers, and everything that will be done on behalf of these children. You may never know where a single act of obedience may lead you. Be open. Be willing. Be obedient.

Something to think about...

I've been reading several blogs lately. Some of them have made me voice aloud my thanks to God! These blogs were about children who will soon be orphans no more. There have been families that have heard of the children across the ocean, or maybe the ones right in there home town, that have needed parents. These blogs tell of how people like you and me have opened their hearts, their homes, and yes there wallets to bring a child out of the life of an orphan and into the life of a family.

Like this one. http://findingourlittleone.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2011-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&updated-max=2012-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=13

Meet Dawson and Issac. Here are two little boys that will soon be meeting there Mommy and Daddy! I have personally followed this blog on a daily basis!! And let me tell you, I have joyously watched and prayed as the "ticker" moves further and further along showing the financial goal being met.

Praise God!!

It makes me want to shead tears of joy, every, single, time.

But then there are blogs like this one. http://www.nogreaterjoymom.com/2011/08/because-it-is-our-problem.html?spref=fb

Meet Liliana. She is 11.

Yes, 11 years old. And she weighs 10 pounds. My son who is 13 months old weighs double that!!!! This is the kind of blog I read that makes me want to vomit and weep all at the same time! The blog link above explains how it IS OUR problem that little Lilana is so small.

A quote that I keep running across lately by Edmund Burke has proven itself very true. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Obviously I do not need to explain how very necessary it is for "good men (and women, and children)" to stand up. To be a voice. These children need a voice. I want to ask everyone out there who will read this blog to join with me and be that voice. If we all stand up we surely will be noticed. And it all can happen one person at a time.

The links above will lead you to a place where you can read more on all of the children I have mentioned. These children still need lotts of funding to make their homecomings possible. You are more that welcome, encouraged even to follow these blogs to stay posted on Dawson, Issac, and Lilana. And as always don't forget about Nastya. She is still among those looking to find her forever family. Join with me.

                                     Be a voice for the children!!!

DOTS Fundraiser

Hello!!! I have started a fundraiser to help Nastya find her forever family! Below is a link you can go to. When you follow the link you will see a picture covered in colorful DOTS! Once all of the DOTS are removed a picture of Nastya will be revealed!!! You can purchase a DOT for $5, but the more you purchase, the more you save, and that much more of the picture is revealed! Please consider donating $5 or more to help Miss Nastya find her forever family. Together we can change the life of another person. The power of one person can change the world.
