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.

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 includeHypo-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
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
Please look past all the pink, this adorable baby is a BOY! The picture is a year old; hoping to get an updated one soon. This little boy would do so well if he was adopted soon and given the correct medical help and therapies.
Girl, 1.7- year-old
Congenital hydrocephalus (no indications for a surgical correction at present); microcephalus; suspected infantile cerebral palsy; convergent concomitant strabismus; specific developmental disorder of motor function; delayed neuropsychological development.
Marilee vocalizes (vowel sounds such as “a-a-a”), although she does not yet produce defined syllables or connected syllables. She does not cry in a loud and clear voice. Her eye contact needs to improve further. Marilee does not yet respond to being called by name. She responds visibly to touch and relaxes greatly when someone holds her in their arms. Marilee is being monitored by a team of specialists at the orphanage.
look at how little she is and those chubby cheeks awww she would would also do so well in a family i hope she is adopted soon so she can know shes loved and get proper medical care and therapy.
Girl, born 2013
Congenital malformation of the central nervous system, symptomatic epilepsy, atactic syndrome, tetraparesis, porencephalia
I hate when all they do is list a child with a diagnosis cause that's not what a child is. Nora looks like a beautiful little girl i don't know if its just me but her wrists looks skinny and her hands are clenching together which I'm guessing is a result of a condition she has.
I know there isn't a lot of people that check this blog and that's okay. I don't do this to make money or become popular or some how famous. I do this cause I'm an advocate for this kids with special needs that need a home in this country or a different one. You might think I don't know what I'm getting into I'm only 15 after all to be honest I probably don't.All I know is there's these kids who do not have a family to tell them they are loved and that they matter. These kids don't have a family who take them to therapy or holds their hand through doctors visits.All because they have special needs most of these kids don't have a family and I think this is wrong and i will not stop blogging until they all have a family to tuck them in at night. Cause if just one of these kids find a family its worth it to me. So without farther to do meet Ashley I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put her picture on my blog so I linked her name to my blog for you to see her smiling face yourself. Yes Ashley is a teenage girl that has down syndrome but she doesn't let that limit her. she is currently in high school and participates in life skill classes she also participates in special classes for music, art and physical education. she loves to listen to pop music some of her favorites are Selena,Justin Bieber, Chris brown, and Drake. She also likes to color, practicing her writing through notes to her friends, going out to eat and shopping.Ashley loves to meet new people but is working on appropriate personal boundaries. she does best with a scheduled routine so she knows what to expect.
Orphanage 50 has a foundation called Maya's hope helping the kids out at the orphanage Most of theses kids have physical or mental disabilities most of them abandoned at the hospital by their mothers then moved to a orphanage considered out casts to society, but we know they are precious and are wanted.This organization helps these precious children by providing caregivers who are mothers to these children who would else have hardly any human contact. So I would like to highlight two of these kids for you today they deserve there chance at a family and I hate to see them wait until they finally get on the aging out page on Reece's Rainbow before everyone rallies because the thing is they need families NOW! so I hope u fall in love them like I have...
I HAVE A FAMILY!!!
Dillon is just the cutest!! He had a family but sadly they couldn't adopt him but look at that smile who wouldn't want to see that every day? no one that's who lol!! Still have't fallen in love??? hmmmm, maybe this would help
From a missionary who visited in August 2014: Dillon loves cuddles and attention. He also loves getting his photo taken with other people, then takes his own “photos” with his hand. He grabs you and says “cheee” and takes a selfie with his hand. So adorable! He has a killer laugh. He is smart and helps out the caregivers. He doesn't speak but verbalizes sounds and makes his needs known. He will be a lovely son.
From a family who visited with him in 2014: In all my interaction and time with Dillon, I never saw the slightest sign that he was aggressive or had the ability to hit children. In fact, out of all the boys there, Dillon is the most gentle, softhearted, and kind. I did see some horse play and pinching between the other boys, but never Dillon. Dillon is calm, extremely happy, and joyful, and very soft and slow with his movements.
From another family who met him:
He is beautiful! absolutely a treasure. a teddy bear my hubby says. When he first met me, he kissed my hand to say hello, and then he kissed (my husband’s) hand. He has a beautiful smile! We visited him again later that night. He gave me a huge hug. He just wraps his arms around you very tight! He is quiet, but sat next to me and loves to spend time with you. Today, when we arrived and gave the kids cookies, he was so happy. We have a video where he sets down what he has in one hand just to say hello to the camera. He is full of smiles. When we left, I went up to him and he put the world’s hugest smile on his face and put his arms out in a straight “t”, armed and ready for a tight hug! An absolute treasure is the best way to describe him He is more than that. He loves to play soccer. He runs and plays and laughs. He will be a huge blessing to a family! Also very gentle!
he can be seen in this video from Maya's hope from 18 seconds to 20 seconds were you can see his million dollar smile so check it out!! And if that isn't enough to convince you that this boy is your son he also has a $3,000 plus adoption grant with Reece's Rainbow!! Wow that's a blessing and its growing due to his awesome Christmas tree warrior which begins November 1st follow his link to check out his warriors progress in the fight to get $1,000 more added to his account by Christmas and make sure to donate yourself.
Well now that I've got You warmed up with cuteness hold onto your seat cause this girl will steal your heart for sure like she has millions of others. Meet little Kendall who was born in January of 2006 she is a true orphan meaning her mother has passed away I'm not sure if this means she used to live with her mom or she was given up at the hospital either way tho kendall deserves a family to love her. I HAVE A FAMILY!!!! From someone who met her in August 2014: sheis a total sweetheart. She loves being picked up, held and tickled. She can stand with support but her feet don’t sit flat on the ground. She needs a family who can get her the therapy she needs. She responds to the caregivers she has a bond with, she will pull herself along the ground to get to them. Her giggle is precious. She really is an amazing little girl who would light up her families life.
from someone else who met her
She was gorgeous, when I spent time with her she had been taken into the playroom by a caretaker and she was lapping up every single second, she couldn't stop laughing and grinning; it was a joy to watch! when I compare to pictures I received of her later in her cot it does not look like the same child! She needs a life and love, she could bloom, I know it!
It sounds to me like she is a very happy child who loves any attention she gets.She sure sounds like a sweet heart who would probably do well in any home and will need therapy once she gets home. I cannot wait for little kendall to find her family and be loved.
