Heinrich


Heinrich was born in 2009 with Down syndrome, specific mixed developmental disorder, features of autism, farsightedness, atopic dermatitis, functional heart murmur, hydrocephalus. Due to a difficult birth, he was born with pneumonia, and incubated for a few days.

His development is delayed; he recently started to walk without help, but not yet steady. Emotions are weak, play activity is primitive, throws away toys, turns them around, puts into the mouth, sucks his fingers, makes stereotypic movements with his head, swings.

He’s not yet speaking, and it’s possible he has a hearing delay.  He eats with help, does not yet holds a spoon or the bottle, still it is hard for him to chew a hard food. The level of understanding is low, does not have motivation to make an activity.

It sounds like to me he needs a mommy and daddy to reach his full potential. He probably is not getting the attention he needs.

Heinrich has a $1,434 dollars in grant money from Reece's rainbow

Will you please pray for Heinrich, that he would he loved and cared for by the nannies, that he would not get sick, that the nannies would come to know the love of  Jesus, that others would see his need for a family and donate and advocate for him, that his future family would come quickly.

Next meet the Mellor family, they are in the process of adopting this sweetie who has congential defects of development. 

from their Reece's Rainbow family sponsoring page

Matt and Betsy are a Christian couple who LOVE being parents and are so excited about their family growing! They appreciate so much the work that Reece’s Rainbow does to match up families. While it is certainly a blessing to the children, Matt and Betsy know firsthand that parents receive the lion’s share of the blessings when a child is born into a family through adoption. They are so anxious to bring sweet Maia home and have their family all together!

Matt and Betsy have been married for 15 years. God has blessed them with 2 biological sons, Timothy and Titus, and one adopted daughter, Anne. Anne can’t wait to have a sister! Every night she prays for a sister to share “bump” (bunk) beds with. How exciting that her prayer is being answered! Home is down the street from Betsy’s parents and grandparents and they spend a lot of time with extended family. Everyone is thrilled about Maia and can’t wait to have her home.

Faith is an important part of family life and Matt and Betsy regularly spend time in worship and socially with friends from church. The congregation they attend has many families with children and Maia will be welcomed with open arms by her church family.

Can we please get their adoption grant larger they only have about $50 in adoption grant money and they are traveling to meet their daughter on January 21st. Will you please donate to their adoption grant to help them cover the cost of her redemption? will you please pray for their safety and health as they travel? will you pray for their little girl to know she is loved and to stay healthy as they meet her? Or  will you do nothing?

i wish

Most teens my age wish for a boyfriend/girlfriend, phones , clothes , money, not me. I could have one wish I would wish I was 25 and able to adopt.It is so hard advocating for children you have come to love when you know by the time you are able to adopt the children you fell in love with would have aged out, died, or possibly be in families. So without farther to do meet the children I wish were mine. All these children are currently waiting for families click on their names to learn more.

Vitaly




















Boy, Born January 14, 2005
Little Vitaly is so handsome, with his dark hair and eyes!   Vitaly was born with CP and is not able to walk at this time.    He is moderately cognitively delayed, but will regress every day he is in this place.  He is already living in an institution, and he needs to be rescued desperately.   Otherwise he will never have a chance to walk, never have the opportunity for surgery or therapy. Vitaly has $100 as a adoption grant.

Vitaly and Greta are in the same institution, but Vitaly is bedridden so he is in a different room.
I am hoping to get his grant up to so they can be adopted together and there would be no more children at this institution available for international adoption.

Please continue to donate to Greta's grant and Vitally's adoption grant, I will have fundraiser soon I promise.

Don't forget Noel

AND LOOK WHO IS ON THE MY FAMILY FOUND ME PAGE!!!!

These four are going to be sisters!!!!!   will you help me support the family  by helping them cover the HUGE  cost of redeeming these girls?http://reecesrainbow.org/64432/sponsorherr)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Greta

I FOUND MY FAMILY
This year I am trying to fund raise $1,000 for Greta, Greta is a orphan born November of 1998 with down syndrome living in Europe her profile on Reece's Rainbow (http://reecesrainbow.org/32794/greta) says this,

Mama, are you out there?  Please come get me!  We are so happy for the chance to help sweet Greta find her family.

Greta is very petite; more the size of a 5 year old than the 13 year old she actually is.  Developmentally, she is quite delayed, probably closer to a 3-4 year old.  In many ways, she is toddler like. Greta is missing out on the essential things in life- a mama and daddy to teach her the things she needs to know, school lessons to maximize her potential for learning, and hope for a future.

From a family who visited with her in September 2012:  “Greta desperately desires to be loved and shown affection. It broke our hearts to see how desperate she was for attention. She would climb up us before we even knew what was happening and was clinging to us. She probably needs to go to a family that can devote a lot of one on one attention to her, and that she be the youngest child, because she can get aggressive when she is jealous for attention. I hope this helps her find a family.”

From a family who visited with her in August 2012:  “Love Greta!  She climbed over the playpen wall to hug on me.   She’s walking now, thanks to a team of foreign therapists who worked in that group.  She has so much potential- but needs a lot of love and a family!  I just know there has to be a family out there for this thin, wiry little girl, a family who likes to play and be energetic  ”

Greta currently has $40.95\$1,000  fund raised right now which puts her adoption grant at $18,545.35 out of the $25,ooo needed to cover EVERYTHING EVEN  TRAVEL ,won't that be a blessing for her future family? Greta will age out in November of 2014 and be moved to a adult mental institution if she has not been already. Will you help me fund raise for her adoption? will you pray for Greta's health, for a family to step up, for the orphanage workers to come to know Christ. will you please share this on your Facebook in hopes of her family finding her? or will you do nothing?

I will share a video of Greta when $100 is fund raised!!!!

It's a new school year

Most kids right now are getting ready for the new school year, their packing their backpacks with pencils,pens,markers,and other stuff they'll need for school. They probably are excited to finally see their friends after a long summer or maybe they have jitters about meeting their teacher.

    but some kids never get the chance to go to school because they are sent to mental institutions at the age of  four or some times five ,these kids who will miss out on school this year, they will miss out on all the excitement of the fist day of school, they will miss out on having friends,and unless they are adopted they will miss out on the love of a family.

Reece's Rainbow : Noel

meet noel, I'm her guardian angel

Noel was born with hydrocephaly and severe cerebral palsy in October  of 2004  (which makes her 8 years old ).   She has had surgery and has a shunt for her hydrocephalus, but she is still just “existing” for right now.  She is blessed to still be at the baby house….the director can’t bear to send her to an adult mental institution where she would be left in a bed all day.

There is no way to know her potential until she is out of an orphanage and in her own family setting.  She will likely require 24 hour care  but will be a blessing to the family.   But she deserves a family of her own!

Because of her severe special needs, any family considering a commitment for Noel should be home study approved and have experience caring for a child with these significant needs

                                                         noel is listed on  Reece's rainbow

my song for Noel:

rock rock in my arms tonight

 I'll tell you I love you

and hold you tight

dreams

dream about findings

I'll hold you some more until you wake

you are so lovely child

my heart my dreams my hopes are all for you

you are so lovely child

my heart my dreams my hopes are all for you 

Reece's Rainbow; at rick of aging out

In Ukraine and Russia 10% -15% of children who age out of an orphanage commit suicide before the age 18    

http://reecesrainbow.org/59838/ally  I AGED OUT

 60% of the girls are lured into prostitution
 
                       











http://reecesrainbow.org/1696/julie I AGED OUT

  70% of the boys become hardened criminals
 
http://reecesrainbow.org/51606/barton I HAVE A FAMILY

  Many of these children accept job offers that ultimately result in their being sold as slaves.

 
http://reecesrainbow.org/47566/nick-2 I HAVE A FAMILY
 
Millions of girls are sex slaves today, simply because they were unfortunate enough to grow up as orphans.
 
http://reecesrainbow.org/1687/karen I AGED OUT

    Reliable statistics are difficult to find, even the sources often list only estimates, and street children are rarely included.
 
http://reecesrainbow.org/54397/trudy  

But even if these figures are exaggerated by double, it is still an unacceptable tragedy that over a million children would still become orphans every year, and every year 7 million children would still grow to adulthood as orphans with no one to belong to and no place to call home.

 
 http://reecesrainbow.org/54645/mason-madison

   They are totally vulnerable and easily fall prey to predators and slave recruiters.
 http://reecesrainbow.org/52642/sutter I HAVE A FAMILY  

The disastrous outcomes of most children who age out of institutional care is evidence that these children don’t know the meaning of love, and are unable to comprehend God’s love.

http://reecesrainbow.org/59313/iggy I  HAVE A FAMILY



 Receiving Jesus Christ makes no sense and too many of them will never have a chance to become adopted children of God.

Reece's Rainbow : Ginger and Jamie

WE HAVE A FAMILY

The sun beamed down on us as we walked along the beach's shore, Ginger hand tightly gripped my index  as she walked by my side, Jamie and colt were a step behind us. jet blue water rushes to fill the foot prints left behind, Jamie lets out a giggle as the water reaches her toes and gets swallowed into the river once again. I turn to watch as Jamie lovingly follows Colt , watching his every step as not to let him fall into the water's reach. Colt and Jamie have become great brother not to mention best friends.

But Jamie and Ginger aren't here, they're in an orphanage on the other half of the world



Ginger and Jamie are 5 year old fraternal twins waiting for their forever family. They can only be adopted together as siblings.


From a family who met them in 2012:
They were [children] I wanted to remember. We met them both on several occasions during our outside visits. Ginger was all over my hubs, tugging, pulling, hitting, and climbing all over him. To say she wanted attention from him is an understatement. She had lots of energy and always wanted me to pick her up. She always wanted me to hold her hand too! We went on several walks together. She’s a spitfire for sure! Jamie was a lovely little boy. He was always so helpful to the younger kids in their group. He loved to push the others on their bikes and was a big help to the nannies. They’re both available and would thrive with lots of love, structure, and attention. I’d be happy to share our experience if any one is interested!


It sounds like they would be perfect siblings for a family, they will be blessed by Ginger's energy and Jamie's gift of loving others. But time is running out for them for they soon will be transferred to a mental institution for adults where they will be separated. WON'T YOU HELP THEM?

would you please donate to their adoption grant on Reece's Rainbow http://reecesrainbow.org/41347/ginger-jamie-twins this money will help them pay for the heavy burden of adoption costs.
 
would you please share this on your Facebook or twitter page in hopes of their future family seeing their picture?

would you please pray for Ginger and Jamie  that they might get adopted soon as to stop their transfer to a mental institution?

Or are you Ginger and Jamie's mom or dad, there is a $4593.70 adoption grant that could help you cover the cost of  their adoption. Please hurry time is running out for them!
