Every year thousands of kids worldwide spend Christmas without a family. Some spend Christmas in orphanages where Christmas isn't even celebrated. Where its like any other day still waiting for a family to pick them laying in a crib or simply waiting.While others live in foster care system waiting for years to be placed in a family, being moved from home to home.

Foerch family

Chad and Erin Foerch met at Cedarville University and became college sweethearts. They have been married 13 years and have four biological children: three boys ages 11, 6, 1, and 1 girl, age 8. Erin graduated with Elementary Education and planned to return to school for a degree in special education. She has always had a heart for kids with special needs. Erin currently home schools their children and plans to continue home schooling after the adoption. Chad and Erin planned to have another biological child, but God began stirring individually in both of their hearts towards adoption. They found their daughter on Reece’s Rainbow and fell in love with her through her pictures and her profile. She will fit in perfectly in their family dynamic. Their children are all very excited to bring their new sister home, especially her big sister, Eden. They are currently open to adopting two children and are praying that the LORD will make His will clear. They greatly appreciate the financial support along with the ministry of prayer and encouragement that comes from Reece’s Rainbow.

kaydence

If you've been reading my blog for a while you know I love bed ridden kids come times called crib babies. They are usually the last ones chosen for adoption and I understand It can be scary. Its hard to look at a child in a bed with tubes sticking out all over them and remember they are kids too that need love and a family so today as I was scrolling through AdoptUSkids.org which is a site listing kids in foster care waiting for forever families this one little boy stuck out to me. He's four years old named Kaydence

and he has very serve special needs which include  Hypo-ischemic Encephalopathy , Cerebral Palsy , respiratory distress and seizure disorder. Kaydence is non-verbal and non-ambulatory and is probably in a hospital or a specially picked home.From his link on AdoptUSkids.org they say he is a very sweet child who loves to be talked to and touched. I'm not sure if he's in a hospital or in a foster home but I hope someone loved on him today and told him how precious he is. Though he realizes on caregivers for totally care I believe he would be a great son and would bring allot of joy to a family. Something about him drew me to him i don't know what it is but I hope he finds a family soon he has been through allot in his life so far and it would be awesome if he had a family to help him through it. If you are interested in Kaydence please follow his link to learn more

Lucy and linus

These siblings have been listed for a long long time and continue to wait for a family.

Lucy is a 5-year-old girl (born 2007) who has congenital microcephaly, infantile cerebral palsy, severe mental delay,delayed psychomotor development, multiple malformation syndrome.  She rolls from back to belly and vice versa independently. She remains in a seated position for a short time when provided with some support. She  shows interest in toys – she grabs and holds a toy in her hand, waves it around and examines it closely. She responds emotionally to seeing a familiar adult.

Linus is a 4-year-old boy(born 2009) who has microcephaly, congenital anomaly of the central nervous system, delayed psychomotor development, severe mental delay, multiple malformation syndrome. When  put in a baby walker he steps on the floor with his whole feet and starts to slowly go around the room in the walker. The boy remains in a seated position for a short time with an adult’s assistance. He follows each and every movement of a person or an object with his eyes and head. He loves to watch the other children playing and moving around.

These siblings have very similar diagnoses. Biotinidase deficiency is suspected. There is an emotional bond between the children and they often hold hands, smile, laugh, look for each other with their eyes and jest with each other when they are placed side by side.

The picture to your right they look to be younger and way skinnier. They seem to be doing well and yes they have allot of needs but they will do allot better in a home with a family to love and care for them where they can get the proper help. They sure are cute don't you think?? If you think these are your children you can learn more about the adoption process here and visit their page on Reece's rainbow  to learn more about them
