Waiting Children Wednesday: babies

Its hard not to love babies with their chubby cheeks and happy giggles its hard not to want to scoop them all up. Babies waiting for adoption are usually scooped up quicker than an older child but they still need to be advocated for so they don't wait and grow older while in an orphanage. . Today I'm going to share some babies with you who have been listed for a long time and need to be advocated for.

AWWWWW look at precious Sylvie with her chubby cheeks and her little bald head. little Sylvie has down syndrome and was born December 2014. She has been listed on Reece's Rainbow since March 1, 2016.

Look at those adorable round cheeks and handsome baby face  . Curtis was born in March of 2014 and has Down Syndrome and post-op congenital heart disease handsome Curtis has been listed on Reece's Rainbow since April 29, 2015 and has almost $800 in his adoption grant.

AWWWW look at that cute little hair bow in her hair and that bright smile. Precious Jubilee has Cerebral Palsy and is on medication to control her seizures (temporal lobe epilepsy). At the time she was listed on Reece's Rainbow she was only 17 months old she is probably close if not older to 2 now. I've seen an adorable video of her that is beyond precious I would love to connect a forever family with.

Look at that adorable little smile and little baby chub. Little Robert has been listed on Reece's Rainbow since April 27, 2015. I think its about time this little guy cam home to a loving family. Robert was born with Internal hydrocaphalus, condition after VP shunting, double reflexory pyramidal insufficiency, crossed eyes in 2013. 

HOW CAN I HELP?

SHARING- by sharing either any of the above children's Reece's Rainbow page or this blog you can tell others about their need for a family.

PRAYING- you can also help by praying for any of their health, for the nannies to come to know Jesus and show his love to the kids, for their families to find them in his perfect time, for their orphanages, etc..

GIVING- giving through Reece's rainbow is tax deductible and is very simple. giving to their adoption grants encourages families to commit to them and helps the families cover the high cost of their redemption.

Waiting child: Sweet Daniela

I would love to introduce you all to a sweet girl named Daniela who I have been keeping an eye on. She continues to wait for a family and is at risk of being lost in the stack of waiting children and aging out in 4 short years. 

"Daniela was born March of 2006. She has waited on the shared list for years to be chosen by a family. She is listed as having mild Cerebral Palsy.

Daniela is in foster care in the countryside near the orphanage. She has normal communication with her foster mother and people she is familiar with. Her speech is clear and has normal interactions with those around her.

Her personality is a bit introverted. She likes to play with other children in the neighborhood, but due to her gentle personality, some children bully her during play, so her foster mother sometimes does not allow her to go out. She is well-behaved and follows directions. She is now attending school, she is said to be in “senior kindergarten.” Her foster mother is reportedly a countrywoman with little to no education, therefore she cannot help Daniela with her studies and homework and as a result Daniela is a bit behind her peers in school. Her favorite activities are: singing, dancing and other kindergarten activities. She loves to go to kindergarten and play outside.

Her left eye appears to possibly have amblyopia, although this is not specified in her file. She reportedly has “normal vision” although she is said to have a "little squint." She is able to care for herself and her daily needs."

In this video you can see Daniela chasing chickens and it is the cutest thing. 

In this video you can see Daniela helping her foster mom.

"She has waited for a family for a long time. Daniela was first made paper ready at the age of three and has been waiting for a family to adopt her. Hoping and praying 2016 is her year for a family."

You can learn more about Daniela at her Twenty Less profile here- http://twentyless.com/daniela/

HOW CAN I HELP?

SHARING- by sharing this blog post or her profile on Twenty Less you can tell others about her need for a family.

PRAYING- you can also help by praying for Daniela's health, for her forever family to find her in his perfect time, for her orphanage and foster family, etc..

Urgently needs a family: Abram

Anyone who has followed or read my blog lately knows that i have a heart for crib babies. Lately there has been one crib baby I've been keeping my eye on and that  is Abram.

From Abram's Reece's Rainbow Page;

"Boy, born 2012

Hydrocephalus posthemorrhagic

Oh sweet love needs a family and medical care."

There isn't much known about Abram from his Reece's rainbow page but that doesn't change his need for a family. Abram desperately needs a family to see him soon so he can get the love and medical treatment he needs. Without a family Abram will likely not get any medical treatment and will spend the rest of his life bedridden in a orphanage or mental institution.

In this picture you can see just how tiny Abram is and how he spends his days in his crib.

Abram is screaming for a family to see him. Are you Abram's family?

HOW CAN I HELP?

SHARING- by sharing either Abram's Reece's Rainbow page or this blog you can tell others about his need for a family.

PRAYING- you can also help by praying for Abram's health, for the nannies to come to know Jesus and show his love to the kids, for his family to find him in his perfect time, for his orphanage, etc..

Meet adorable Emerson, couldn't you just imagine seeing this sweet face every morning?Little Emerson is three going on four in October so hopefully next year he will be able to celebrate his birthday in a family. I don't understand how he hasn't been scooped up yet as he is so young, maybe it's because he's waiting for you?There is a $47+ adoption grant available through Reece's Rainbow.

From Reece's Rainbow:
"Boy, born October 2011 PRC Progressive Muscular Dystrophy
Emerson is a shy, quiet, and lovely boy. Though he’s fairly introverted around strangers, once he’s in a familiar environment he’s quite lively! He loves playing with blocks, and even by himself he will be very quiet and focused when building with them! Emerson was initially diagnosed with liver dysfunction, but when it didn’t respond to treatment they tested for muscular dystrophy (elevated liver enzymes are often found in children with MD from the muscle breakdown as opposed to a liver dysfunction), and found he was positive. Currently they don’t see any symptoms of the muscular dystrophy- he can sit, crawl, and walk while holding onto something! Emerson also demonstrates good fine motor skills; he can scribble with a pen, pick up small objects with his thumb and forefinger, stack two blocks, and turn the pages of a book. When looking at books he loves to point out the pictures. He can feed himself finger foods, and cooperates when getting dressed. He understands simple instructions, like being told to pick up his toys, and can point out his eyes and nose when ask. Emerson is able to imitate simple words like “mom” and “dad.” This sweet boy is waiting for his family. Are you the ones he waits for?"

The video above is about a  girl with Muscular Dystrophy and what's it like.

The next child I want to share with you guys is Alexis he is in Arizona but can be adopted anywhere and his adoption would cost little to nothing.


Alexis is ten years old who sounds like a sweet boy who would be a blessing to any family. Alexis has a contagious laugh,loves to take pictures of himself doing silly faces, wonderful helper, and always willing to do stuff his foster parents ask. Alexis wants to be a dad and work in a hospital when he grows up, can you be the parents that help Alexis accomplish his dreams and help him be all he can be?You can learn more about adopting Alexis Here.

The next child I'm posting today is Javier he is in Kansas and can be adopted anywhere and his adoption would cost little to nothing.



Javier has the most amazing smile don't you agree?

From NDSAN:
"Javier is a social young man who is a very quick learner. He loves to play with toys that talk, looking at picture books and signing about animals. Javier uses sign language to communicate with others. He knows about 40 words and is working on learning more. At, school his favorite thing to do is hang out with his teacher, staff and his classmates. Javier will need lots of supports in place in school and in the community. He will need a family that is willing to advocate for Javier and make sure that his special needs are being met. Javier would do best in a two parent home that will continue to teach him how to complete his daily self-care needs. His forever home will need to be very structured and provide Javier constant one-on-one contact.

Javier would do best in a 2-parent home where he is the youngest or only child. An ideal family would be one close to Kansas, so that there can be several visits for a successful transition."

In loving memory of Vitaly

Yesterday we lost a little boy named Vitaly  He was one of the firsts listed on Reece's Rainbow, he was little then, he had potential, hope, and a shy smile.

But slowly other children were chosen and still he waited and waited. At the age of just 4 or 5 he was transferred to a mental institution. A few years later there was a update on Vitaly.

Vitaly was in urgent need, he was fading away and needed a family to save him ASAP. Sadly Vitaly passed away before a family could be found.Vitaly will not have a funeral at the mental institution he was just another number and child to feed.

I would like to thank everyone who advocated for Vitaly to find a family and to those who donated to his adoption grant. He will be missed by us and to the caregivers who loved him. This is why we do what we do, because we know every life is precious and is worth it. Vitaly is now safe in the arms of Jesus healed and happy.In memory of Vitaly would you please consider donating to a child at risk or already transferred to a mental institution with Cerebral Palsy? I will list a few below just click on their names to learn more about them.

Some cuties waiting for a family who have autism

I had a friend with Autism when I went to a Christian school and she was the most talented artist I have ever met and I wish I had a picture of her art to prove it to you.She was a sweetheart, I cannot remember a time I ever heard a mean word out of her. She loved Jesus and had neat handwriting, she was a wonderful person to be around and I miss going to school ever day and seeing her happy. So every time I hear of a child with autism waiting for a family to adopt them it breaks my hear because I think of this wonderful girl I went to school with in a orphanage because of a label.Kids with autism are more than just their autism they loving, happy, giving, and talented. Yes, they have struggles but they need a family to love them beyond their struggles and help them become all they can be.All the children listed below have autism and are waiting for a family to adopt them you can learn more about them by clicking on their names. If you cannot adopt them please consider donating to their adoption grant, sharing, or praying.
