Every year from Nov. 1 - Dec. 31 <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/">Reece's Rainbow</a> has a special campaign to raise awareness and grant funds for orphans with special needs who are waiting for families. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each child has a "warrior" whose goal is to raise $1,000 or more to help with adoption expenses. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even more important than the money though...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is getting the child SEEN.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hope is that through advocacy a family will see the child...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And choose to adopt them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The money raised will then help the family cover some of the expenses of the adoption process.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Formerly called "Angel Tree" the Christmas fundraiser now has a new name!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://static.reecesrainbow.org/macc/">Miracle of Adoption Christmas Campaign </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Adoption truly is a miracle for children like <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/97197/evelyn-2">Evelyn</a>!<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many of the children live in poor orphanages and institutions with inadequate resources to provide for adequate nurturing or even basic necessities.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And even under the best of circumstances, no orphanage can fully supply a child's basic need for a family...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For permanence and a sense of belonging...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a Mama and Papa who are truly their own...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who don't just come and go when their shift is over like the nannies do, but are there for them...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Always.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year all "warriors" got to choose a child to advocate for...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I chose...</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/97197/evelyn-2">Evelyn</a> has spina bifida... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But her diagnosis should not define her!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is a sweet girl who according to her profile, "just radiates love!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/97197/evelyn-2">Evelyn</a> currently lives in an institution...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Many children in institutions die due lack of nurture, inadequate nutrition, and neglect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/97197/evelyn-2">Evelyn</a> needs a miracle...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She needs a family to make her their very own...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/97197/evelyn-2">Evelyn</a> your child?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can learn more about the adoption process <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/new-family/newfamily">HERE</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even if you can't adopt...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can still make a difference by donating to her adoption fund or sharing her story with your friends, family, coworkers, even strangers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You never know, one of your friends may be her family!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To help raise funds for <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/97197/evelyn-2">Evelyn</a>'s adoption miracle...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am doing a simple fundraiser that can help raise awareness for not only Evelyn but also for a waiting child or adoptive family of your choice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For a donation of $5 to <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/97197/evelyn-2">Evelyn</a>'s adoption fund...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will include a child or adoptive family of your choice in a future blog post...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I will enter the child or family of your choice into a drawing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The child or family that wins the drawing will receive a $25 donation to their adoption grant/family sponsorship fund!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sharing this blog post will give your child or family an additional entry into the drawing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In summary:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>For EACH $5 donation to Evelyn</b></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">A Child or family of your choice will be included in a future blog post</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
($10 = 2 children, $15 = 3 children, etc)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">AND will receive THREE entries into the drawing for a $25 donation </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Sharing this blog post</b> = 1 entry to the $25 drawing for a child or family of your choice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wishes...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What are wishes?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are things one hopes will happen...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or things one hopes to get or achieve...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Little boys may wish for a new bike...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Toy cars...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or an I-pad...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Little girls may wish for a new doll...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or a princess dress...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Children wish for an ice cream cone, or pizza...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But how many wish for a family of their own?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A Mom and Dad...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grandparents...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Siblings?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For some children family is not something to wish for...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is something they already have...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And often take for granted!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not so with the children below...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are waiting for something every child should have...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And never have to wish for!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A family of their very own!</div>

What comes to mind when you hear the word Treasure?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A bag full of golden coins?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Exotic items from King Tut's Tomb?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Heir loom china from your great, great, great grandmother?</div>

It's <a href="http://static.reecesrainbow.org/angeltree2015/">ANGEL TREE</a> Time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every year in November and December <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/background">Reece's Rainbow</a> has a special fundraiser where advocates try to raise $1000 for each child on the "Tree."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUNOAOg1k84WYzKC7_KtNxs878CJACuMQKxalrQjQPaF4ag3dHLtlLXEUGJLjaQtDl2QRJaJbpMyw3ZGRqjc3cUU208UZqmRFVzstMWePAfgT2jSGwh1NRlzb-snVZtJebXYDL7sSy30k/s1600/Angel+Tree+15+Button.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUNOAOg1k84WYzKC7_KtNxs878CJACuMQKxalrQjQPaF4ag3dHLtlLXEUGJLjaQtDl2QRJaJbpMyw3ZGRqjc3cUU208UZqmRFVzstMWePAfgT2jSGwh1NRlzb-snVZtJebXYDL7sSy30k/s320/Angel+Tree+15+Button.png" width="246" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyone who donate's $35* or more to one of the children on the tree will receive a photo Christmas ornament with the child's picture on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These ornaments can be used as gifts or hung on your own tree to remind you to pray for your child or share his/her story with friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*NOTE* $5 of the donation goes to cover the cost of the ornament and shipping and 10% of each donation goes to help all the children by keeping the wonderful charity Reece's Rainbow going so it can continue to be a voice for these children who need the love of adoptive families!</div>

This year I have the privilege of advocating for sweet little <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/83238/micah-2">Micah</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/83238/micah-2">Micah</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't he a darling?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Micah is 3 years old and lives in an orphanage in an Asian country...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His profile says he is close to his caregivers and gets along well with other children...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He loves music and playing with toys...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And his favorite toy is a ball!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Imagine if Micah had a family of his own...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A Mom and Dad to give him the love and attention he needs...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Siblings to play with...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stories at bedtime...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mama's soothing voice as she rocks him too sleep and sings him a lullaby!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Micah is waiting for these simple pleasures...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The money raised for his grant fund will help to cover adoption expenses for the family who chooses to adopt him...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And most important of all, through prayers and sharing his story...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully soon a family will see him and choose to make him their son!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can help by donating (donations are tax deductible in the US!)...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sharing this blogpost on Facebook...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sharing his story with your friends and acquaintances...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And by praying that God will find his family...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that soon sweet <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/83238/micah-2">Micah</a> will be able to live in a family of his very own...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who will love and cherish him always!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To donate to Micah <a href="http://static.reecesrainbow.org/angeltree2015/">CLICK HERE</a> to go to the Angel Tree...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And select Buy Ornament if you want Micah's ornament...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or just donate if you would like to donate more or less than $35 or if you already have his ornament and would like to make an additional donation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Imagine being an orphan...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because you have no family...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You live in a state institution...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even if your caregivers are kind...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are likely very busy with many other children...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there is little time for you to get one-on-one special attention...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You wonder if you really matter to anyone...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Occasionally a family will come to adopt one of your best friends at your orphanage...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The family spends one on one time with your friend...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They bring fun toys...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They shower the him with love...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And promise him that one day soon they will get on an airplane together and take him to their home far away...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And promise him that he will have a loving home with them forever...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have a picture book that shows your what his new home will be like...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has pictures of his bedroom where he will sleep...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dining room table where he will sit with his new family and eat delicious meals prepared by his very own mother...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Their are pictures of the family's backyard where he will get to play ball and ride bikes with his new brothers...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Their are pictures of each member of his new family...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mom, Dad, brothers and sisters, and grandparents too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the family goes back to their hotel for the night your friend shows you his picture book...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And while you are happy for your friend you have a secret longing...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That someday soon a family will come for you too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Soon your friend goes away with his new family and you are left behind to wait for your turn...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Often when you are sleeping you dream that the day has arrived...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your family has come at last!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But then...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just when you are about to get in the car to go home with them...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You wake up and realize it was just a dream...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As the years go by you begin to worry that no one will want you...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After all you are getting older and older...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And it seems like the families usually come for the younger kids...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You begin to worry about the future...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Soon it will be time to graduate from the orphanage...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And you have no idea what you will do, where you will sleep, or how you will find food...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a very frightening thought!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But then...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The summer when you are 15...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A mission group comes to do a program at your institution...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And there is a special Mom and daughter in the group who befriend you...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You miss them when the group goes back home...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But then...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One day you are told that this family...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This family wants to adopt YOU!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your dream is actually coming true...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will be a loved and cherished son...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will have parents who will love you forever...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who will guide you as you transition to adulthood...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will have sisters and a brother...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A home where you belong...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Soon...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They just have some paperwork to do...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have to wait for the legal processes to be completed...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And a court to make it official...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And money will have to be raised to pay for the legal costs and travel expenses...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But soon...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Soon the day will come...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will be going home with a family that truly loves you, yes YOU!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At last you have hope for the future...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your dreams are about to come true!</div>

While I don't know all the thoughts in <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/86887/sponsorturner">Jonathon</a>'s heart...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having the love and security and sense of belonging that comes from having a family is a very basic need that most of us take for granted...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Many of us can hardly relate to the reality of having no one to call your own...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No place where you truly belong...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Where you are loved for who you are with no strings attached...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But Jonathon has faced this empty feeling for a very long time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But thankfully, for Jonathon, his dream for a family is finally coming true!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He has <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/86887/sponsorturner">wonderful parents </a>who have chosen to make him their son...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are working hard on the paperwork...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And trying to raise funds to help cover the adoption and travel costs...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that soon (hopefully in about 6-8 weeks) they can travel to his country to complete the process to make him officially their son!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please pray for <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/86887/sponsorturner">Jonathon and the Turner</a> family during this time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And if you are able...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Consider making a tax deductible donation to their <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/86887/sponsorturner">adoption account at Reece's rainbow</a>...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The family is also selling T-shirts to help bring him home!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I don't think T-shirt funds are tax deductible... but you will have a shirt to remember him by!)</div>

I believe they have to sell a minimum of 10 shirts (of a particular design) in order to have the shirts made...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And they are short of that goal at this time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So far 2 of the black "I will not leave you orphans" shirts and 3 of the superman shirts have been committed to...</div>

Payday...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little money available for charity...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It won't be a big donation...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It won't go far...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But hopefully it will help a little...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully it will help a little with the adoption costs...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully it will help a child get a family!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But where should I put it...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What child should I give it to...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And will it really make a difference?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After all...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many children...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little donation is like a drop in the bucket...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it can be a little disheartening...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you go back and look at children you've attempted to help in the past...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Children like <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/17676/russ306">Russ</a>...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
$102.90 (no that's not the size of my donation)...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbUOMdmIf9J6IF1htNkGw-Fg30ivIa2HnkkWdedwNlgfqxkdGIVmU_E-fRFWzv2ES2A5EtO0OKX-o4szhP_wA0YV53ZnS15gEwCpOoY7wD3cVk8OZEBnF4XS2YanAl50O8Xw4wg2fYNzs/s1600/Russ-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbUOMdmIf9J6IF1htNkGw-Fg30ivIa2HnkkWdedwNlgfqxkdGIVmU_E-fRFWzv2ES2A5EtO0OKX-o4szhP_wA0YV53ZnS15gEwCpOoY7wD3cVk8OZEBnF4XS2YanAl50O8Xw4wg2fYNzs/s1600/Russ-1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's how much money was in <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/17676/russ306">Russ</a>'s grant on November 30, 2013...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know because I looked back at Jenny's <a href="http://zerothezeros.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html">Zero the Zero's blogpost</a> for that date...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think, if I remember correctly, that I gave a little donation (NOT the whole thing)...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To bump him over the $100 wall...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish I could say he is home with his family now... and thriving...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I can't because he's still waiting!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That means the money I gave is still sitting there...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Waiting to help him come home...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If a family ever sees him and chooses him...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Want to take a guess at what his grant reads today?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
$102.90...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The exact SAME amount it was over a year ago...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Has anyone besides me noticed this child?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This real child...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who waits for a real family to choose him?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This real child...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who faces a perhaps short...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And unpleasant future in an institution if he is never chosen?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know he has at least been seen by some in passing... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because one or more people put money in his fund to start his grant before I gave my little donation over a year ago...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And because I used to share him once in awhile along with sweet <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/17567/arnold303">Arnold</a>...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who was in the same orphanage as him...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
By the way...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/17567/arnold303">Arnold</a>'s fund hasn't changed in a LONG time either...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It currently reads $100.20...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My memory is a little fuzzy...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought he had been on Zero the Zero's blog too...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I didn't see him there...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So either I missed him...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or maybe he was already (barely) over the $100 goal when Jenny made her list so he didn't quite qualify...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In any case BOTH <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/17567/arnold303">Arnold</a> and <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/17676/russ306">Russ</a> are still waiting...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Without a single change in their grant funds in over a year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't really complain too much because...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I haven't been very consistent in sharing them or thinking about them either...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the list of waiting children is so very long...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although I went to Jenny's archive's specifically to look for <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/17567/arnold303">Arnold</a> and <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/17676/russ306">Russ</a> because I was going to blog about them...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While I was there I saw someone else...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was on that list over a year ago too...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On November 30, 2013 his grant was $23</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

And I know that he didn't cross the $100 wall till February 2015...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sad thing...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used to look at Jenny's blog back then when she wrote many of those archived posts...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was even able to bump a few of my special kids over the $100 wall with small donations...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I passed my sweet <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/52242/sullivan">Sullivan</a> by!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Look at him in his recent picture...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Reaching out...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Begging to be noticed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are REAL children...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Waiting...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And perhaps wasting away for lack of sufficient love and attention...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(They say Sullivan is getting weaker!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What can I do?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I give my little donation...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To one of these sweet boys...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or to some other child who catches my eye...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will the money still be sitting there in a year or two or more...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unable to do it's job because the child has not yet been chosen...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because the list of waiting kids is so long...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That they get lost in the crowd?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not in a position to adopt at this time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And even if I was...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't qualify to adopt from their country...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I can't adopt them myself...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And yet they are growing up without a family...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Growing up in pictures</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While they wait...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If they stay lost in the crowd?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Instead of giving it to one of these sweet boys directly...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have decided to use it for a little drawing...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And YOU get to decide who it goes to!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It works like this...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Share this post or one (or more) of these kids profiles...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Facebook, Twitter, your blog, or some other place...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Be sure to let me know you shared (and how many times/places you shared)...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I will enter the child or adoptive family of your choice into a drawing to receive my little donation...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It can be any child or family who has a grant fund on Reece's Rainbow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Feel free to browse the waiting children and adoptive families on the Reece's Rainbow site if you don't have anyone in mind at the moment!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Waiting Children: <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/new-family/thechildren">http://reecesrainbow.org/new-family/thechildren</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Families: <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/sponsor-a-family-2">http://reecesrainbow.org/sponsor-a-family-2</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your chosen child or family will get 1 entry for each of your shares on social media...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And if you write a blogpost for my boys your chosen child or family will get 3 entries!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(If you share your blog link with me so I can read your post too!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In addition I will feature the winning child or family in a blogpost on this blog!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will do the drawing some time on Sunday March 29, 2015...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My kids may not get this donation...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I hope they will get some visibility with many shares...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that hopefully...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They won't have to wait too much longer until it is their turn to be chosen by a family of their very own!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So share, Share, SHARE!!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were listed on Zero the Zero's blog too...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They made it over the $100 wall...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But unfortunately they are currently unavailable for adoption due to unrest in the region of their country they are from...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pleas pray for them...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully the issues can be resolved...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And they can become available again soon so they can be chosen, adopted, and loved by a family too!</div>

Do you remember</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your Daddy's bear hugs...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And your Mama's snuggles?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Playful tickles...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And smiles of pride and approval directed your way?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you remember the security of knowing that no matter what might happen...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your family would always be there for you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you remember those carefree days...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you could run and play without having to worry...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
About whether there would be enough food to satisfy your hunger after a long day of playing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If so little <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/52242/sullivan">Sullivan</a> would call you privileged...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lucky...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Blessed!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You see, <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/52242/sullivan">Sullivan</a> lives in an orphanage...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He LOVES to be held and cuddled!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And hates to be put down...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How often does he get those hugs and cuddles with the workers so busy...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With so many kids?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When other kids hurt him he cries for someone to comfort him...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of striking back at the offender.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Poor little <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/52242/sullivan">Sullivan</a>...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He needs a Mama who can give him the snuggles he craves...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A Daddy to give him bear hugs...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And read him a story...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A Mama to bandage his Boo Boos...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And comfort him when he gets hurt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A cozy little home...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With a loving family...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who will let this sweet, loving little boy know...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That that they love him...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And will keep him safe and secure...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And give him all the cuddles he needs!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A volunteer who visited him in July of 2014 reported that <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/52242/sullivan">Sullivan</a> is getting weaker...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh how he needs a family... and soon!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please Mama...</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64976/marty">Marty</a> is a lovely 13 year-old boy...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is loving, kind, and seldom gets angry...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He loves sports, is good at computers, knows many English words...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64976/marty">MARTY</a> has a dream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A big dream...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Something he has been longing for for a very long time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Something very dear to his heart...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What would a 13 year-old boy long for and dream about?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A bicycle?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A new video game?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Getting his learners permit and drivers license in a few years?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are common dreams for boys...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But they are not <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64976/marty">Marty</a>'s primary dream...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No, Marty has a dream that many boys wouldn't think of...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not because it is odd...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But because it is so very basic...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Something that most young boys take for granted...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Something they have always had and have never been without!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What is <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64976/marty">Marty</a>'s dream?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marty dreams of having his very own family!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A Mom and Dad who love him...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Treasure him...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are proud of his accomplishments...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tell him what a great kid he is and how much they love him!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not certain what happened...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64976/marty">Marty</a> was found abandoned as a baby...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ABANDONED...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Likely because of his hydrocephalus (which has been treated and gives him no problems now!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Family provides a sense of security...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of permanence...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of belonging...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It gives you your place in the world - especially in childhood...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64976/marty">Marty</a> is missing out on this basic, yet very important aspect of life...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But he hopes and dreams that this will change!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64976/marty">Marty</a> has a Foster brother, <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64975/gary-2">Gary</a>, that he loves dearly...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He hopes that they can both be adopted by the same family so they can be forever brothers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When a staff interviewed him and <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64975/gary-2">Gary</a>, <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64976/marty">Marty</a> said...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"<span style="background-color: white; color: #232323; line-height: 18px;">“This is the third time you have come here to meet with us… Why don’t we have a family yet?”</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64976/marty">Marty</a> DESPERATELY wants a family that will be his FOREVER!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sweet Marty knows it might not happen, but instead of being bitter and angry he said to someone who interviewed him...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #232323; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“but if you can’t find me a family it will be OK because in the future I will be able to help other children find forever homes.”</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sweet, sweet boy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's already thinking of how he can help other children have a better life than he has had!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64976/marty">Marty</a>'s dream CAN become a reality...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If a family is found in time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
According to the rules of his country <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64976/marty">Marty</a> must be adopted before he turns 14 in November 2015...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That means his family must be found quickly so they have time to complete adoption process before it is forever too late!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you know <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64976/marty">Marty</a>'s family?</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Peter is a special boy...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I've said before...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's waiting for a family to claim him as their own...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While he waits this Christmas time he has the special chance...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be upon the <a href="http://static.reecesrainbow.org/angeltree2014/">angel tree</a>...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And climb it to the top!<br />
<br />
*****</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hope that during this special time...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
$1,000 or more will soon be raised...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To help with his adoption costs!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now he's a little over 1/10th of the way there...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With $115 raised so far!<br />
<br />
*****</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To help him climb up toward his goal...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A virtual party has been planned...<br />
<br />
On this little blog...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For New Year's Day of 2015!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To celebrate sweet Peter's life and show him to the world...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hope that somewhere a Mom or Dad will see this special boy...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And know at last they've found their son...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And cross the sea to make him theirs...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And bring him home where he belongs...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be loved and cherished always!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's almost time to party for Peter...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a few short weeks to go...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But first we need to have some guests...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And that's where you come in!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you have a special child that's on your heart today?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It might be a child on the angel tree...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or any other special waiting child you'd like to be seen and noticed...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can invite them to Peter's party with just a little gift...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a $5 donation to Peter's fund...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will include your child in a blog post on this blog...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AND...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place your child on my blog sidebar (space permitting)...<br />
<br />
For at least 6 months (till July 1, 2015 maybe longer)...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AND...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course your child will be included in Peter's special party post as well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(By the way... for $10 you can bring 2 children, $15 = 3 children etc.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone who donates $35 or more to Peter's fund can also receive a special Christmas ornament from Reece's Rainbow with Peter's picture on it!<br />
<br />
To invite your child(ten) head on over to the <a href="http://static.reecesrainbow.org/angeltree2014/">Angel Tree</a>...<br />
<br />
Scroll down until you find Peter(Asia) and donate...<br />

The goal is to raise $1000 for each child on the tree...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
$1000 to help defray the cost of their adoption...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been following <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/">Reece's Rainbow</a>, an organization that raises funds and awareness for orphans with special needs, for a number of years...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I enjoy following angel tree and watching the children "climb the tree" on their way to $1,000...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have even given small donations to some of them...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I have never felt I could really be a warrior...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You see, $1000 is a lot of money...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can advocate for kids on my blog...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But $1000?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seemed like too much...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hate to ask people for money - especially in real life!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not a very good fundraiser...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And am not in a very good position to give large sums of money myself...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So it seemed like it would be better for me to just watch on the sidelines...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe do some blog posts to shout for some of the kids at the bottom of the tree...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But then I heard the news...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Any children who did not get personal warriors (advocates) by October 28...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Would NOT be on the tree...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They would lose this wonderful opportunity for visibility!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And there was one little boy...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who had been near the bottom of the tree last year...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He has until January 31, 2016, when he turns 14, to find a family...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that he will be "too old" for adoption (at least internationally) according to the rules of his country.</div>

Has a limited time to find a family...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And shares a name with my wonderful brother...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Made me anxious for Jeff to be able to keep his place on the tree this year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept watching to see if he would get a warrior...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But he didn't...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I seriously considered being his warrior myself...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At least I could blog for him...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And maybe raise a little bit of money...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That would be better than nothing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But as the deadline drew nearer many of the children got warriors and I thought surely he would get one too...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And he did...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the LAST day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of the children got warriors...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I was off the hook...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could just advocate for any of the kids as I had time and could advocate for Jeff especially...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Surely his warrior wouldn't mind!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But then someone asked me if I would like to be a co-warrior with her...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now you know how I came to be filling this blog with all things <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/56058/peter">Peter</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/56058/peter">Peter</a> (and the others) need our voices...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They need visibility...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To help their families see them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So they can be chosen, adopted, and become a part of a family...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who will be theirs forever...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can you help?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can you share their sweet faces?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or maybe you could spare a few dollars to help an orphan get a home...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every little bit helps!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Those who give $35 or more will receive a Christmas ornament (if they wish) with a picture of the child you donated to on the back of it!</div>

Isn't it a little bit EARLY to start talking about Christmas?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After all...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's only the FIRST of November!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Normally I don't make a huge deal out of Christmas...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I usually don't put up decorations in my apartment...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I don't have children of my own...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I'm usually away visiting family during the holidays anyway...)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But THIS year I have a big reason to celebrate Christmas...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least on my little blog...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because there is one little boy who needs my help...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little boy who needs a Christmas Miracle this year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/56058/peter">Peter</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjScEFao_WklDI6QDFdjBdz0nhZiUv_mn8CEPhh7wkBiJLuQTm3bi_WVPulD8UZ22GhDMWI1rZTjwVgT3MRUYqdAZnHqWE9bOoVom2sMp7PzzwrPWW7VG3wgzMZwv96Q8n8sVanwAwslf8/s1600/Peter-300x274.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjScEFao_WklDI6QDFdjBdz0nhZiUv_mn8CEPhh7wkBiJLuQTm3bi_WVPulD8UZ22GhDMWI1rZTjwVgT3MRUYqdAZnHqWE9bOoVom2sMp7PzzwrPWW7VG3wgzMZwv96Q8n8sVanwAwslf8/s1600/Peter-300x274.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/56058/peter">Peter</a> is a special little boy...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who lives on the other side of the world from me...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who had the misfortune of losing his family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not sure how it happened...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I don't know many details...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But it is quite possible that he was abandoned as a baby or small child...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because his parents felt they couldn't handle raising their special little boy...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because he would seem "different" to their friends and neighbors because of his Down Syndrome...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And it would bring "shame" or "disgrace" on the family if they kept him...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Sadly children with special needs are abandoned all too frequently in his country...)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or maybe they didn't know how they could afford to care for the extra needs he would have...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perhaps they felt the state could care for him better than they could...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whatever the case little Peter wound up in an orphanage or foster care...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And he is still WAITING for a Mom and Dad to choose to make him a permanent part of their family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/56058/peter">Peter</a> needs to be seen!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He needs to be recognized as the beautiful forgotten treasure that he is...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And Angel Tree is the perfect opportunity for me to advocate for him...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In hopes that somewhere...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Someone...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Will see his sweet face...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And know that he's worth whatever it takes...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To bring this sweet boy home to their family!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This blog has been rather silent for much of this year...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is only post #7 and it's almost November!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the silence is about to end!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's time for a new focus...<br />
<br />
Because...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://static.reecesrainbow.org/angeltree2014/">Angel Tree</a> is starting soon!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
(November 1 - to December 31)...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that means you will have the opportunity to put THIS sweet face on your Christmas tree!</div>

Lovely <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64526/twyla">Twyla</a>'s 14th birthday is 2 months from tomorrow...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64526/twyla">Twyla</a>'s 14th birthday is very significant...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It marks the END of her chance for a family of her own!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In her country children must be completely adopted BEFORE their 14th birthday...</div>

***** UPDATE (10/9/14) *****</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Twyla's birth month has been corrected in her profile...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her Birthday is in DECEMBER not October...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thankfully this gives her a little more time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But it isn't much...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She only has about 2 months from the time of this update...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If Twyla is your daughter please act FAST...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before it is too late!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64526/twyla">Twyla</a> is a lovely girl...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just listen to some of the things her profile says about her!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is social and chatty...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She enjoys reading, crafts, and the computer...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is good at learning languages and math...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Twyla is in middle school now and has a dream of going to college!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64526/twyla">Twyla</a> knows what love is...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She had a wonderful foster family who took good care of her...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But unfortunately, due to the foster mother's health condition...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They had to let her return to the institution...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thankfully they have been able to visit her regularly...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/64526/twyla">Twyla</a> really wants a family who can be hers forever!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

They are on their way back to adopt another child soon...</div>

And they have approval to add a second child to their adoption this time too...</div>

Money...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My fund needs to read $14,000 in order for my family to be able to afford the costs of adding me to their adoption...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The good news is...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I already have over $9,000 in my grant fund...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You can help by praying that the money will come in...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sharing my need with your friends...</div>

And giving a tax deductible donation to <a href="http://reecesrainbow.org/1581/brett2601">my grant fund</a> if you are able!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They have at least two things in common...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They both live in orphanages while they wait their family to find them...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And they both have hydrocephalus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It can be scary to adopt say yes to adopting a child you have never met especially when that child has a strange or scary sounding medical condition that you aren't vary familiar with. Since some of my physical therapy classes have talked about hydrocephalus, I thought I would share with you some of the things I have learned. Our body produces cerebrospinal fluid that surounds the brain to cushion and protect it from injury - this fluid acts as a shock absorber so we don't get a brain injury every time we bump our heads or jump up and down! This fluid is being continually produced, but there are drains to make sure the fluid does not build up to an excessive amount. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In hydrocephalus there is a problem with this system that causes the fluid to build up. Either the body makes too much cerebrospinal fluid, or there is something wrong with the drainage system. The drain may be clogged or blocked preventing the excess fluid from escaping. A person can be born with hydrocephalus, or it can develop later in life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since babies are born without their skull bones fully fused (hence the "soft spot"), it is possible for their heads to expand to accommodate the extra fluid that is building up when they have hydrocephalus. Here in the US children with hydrocephalus have surgery to install a shunt that drains the fluid. This prevents their heads from getting so extremely large. Children who receive surgery at a very young age can often live a very normal life! In some countries, however, the surgery is not always performed so soon. Sometimes this happens because there is not enough money or because the children are orphans. Unfortunately in some countries parents are encouraged to leave their children with disabilities in orphanages because it is assumed that they will not amount to anything or will be to difficult to care for.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When children who need the shunt do not receive the surgery, their heads can grow very large. When the bones eventually fuse the the fluid can continue to build up, but with nowhere to go the fluid starts putting pressure on the brain. This can cause headaches and even brain damage. This is very unfortunate as the damage is often PREVENTABLE! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Someone posted recently that he is an interactive little boy...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And his profile says he is calm, smiling, and happy but he can't sit up because his head is too heavy...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It also says he does NOT have a shunt...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This means he is in danger of brain damage that will likely get worse if the fluid continues to build...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Poor sweet boy...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is suffering unnecessarily...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He could be healthy and totally normal if he had received the surgery as a baby...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even now it is NOT to late to help him!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He may always have some affects from the lack of early treatment...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But treatment now can save him from getting worse...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It can relieve the pressure in his head so his brain can grow and develop better...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He can receive therapy to help him improve his physical abilities too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Love, family, surgery, and therapy can make a world of difference for sweet Darren!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ELEVEN!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
HOW. CAN. THAT. BE?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is so very small for 11...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And she's still in a crib!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately children in orphanages don't always get enough to eat...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And they don't get enough love and interaction...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So they are often smaller than most children their age.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Had a rough start in life...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know the full extent of the difficulties she faced as a baby...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But when she was not quite three years old...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her mother's parental rights were taken away...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And Chrystyna became a ward of the state.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For a time she was housed in a mental institution...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With little love or stimulation to help her grow and develop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thankfully, she was removed from the institution...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And sent to a better orphanage where children are able to receive better care...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And some type of education, however limited it might be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below is Chrystyna's most recent picture taken just last year...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been NINE years since she was taken from her mother...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's growing up without a family...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has a sister Karen who has now aged out of her opportunity to be adopted...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because she just turned 18.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But Chrystyna still has a chance!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She can still be adopted if a family is found for her!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If only someone will say yes to her!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dear Chrystyna just had a birthday less than 2 weeks ago (on January 17)...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is now 12 years old...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wouldn't it be wonderful if she could get a family before her next birthday?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can you share to help her find one?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or maybe, just maybe...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You could be her family!</div>

Chrystyna's advocate Chelsea, is eager for help spreading the word about Chrystyna...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last year I had a virtual birthday party for you on my blog...</div>

This year you can celebrate your special day with your VERY OWN family!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you have a wonderful day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year you were an orphan...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But you were not forgotten...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many people prayed for you...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And hoped a family would find you...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before this day, your 16th birthday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And God heard our prayers for you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He sent you a wonderful family...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we are so very glad!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so sorry to hear that your health has been giving you challenges!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be praying for you and your family, and I hope you can come home from the hospital soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know God is powerful loving and strong...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And he will be with you and your sweet family every step of the way!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Please keep up your courage...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have been given a very special name...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Why is this name so special?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My Daddy gave to me!</div>

This name signifies to me...</div>

That I belong forever and always...</div>

To give them his special name...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A name that shows they are loved and valued...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A name that says they belong to a Daddy who will be their protector, provider, and defender...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A name that says they belong!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Where is that Daddy now?</div>

Dear "Emmitt"(now Michaiah)...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the children I advocated for the most on this blog...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally came home with his new family several weeks ago...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But due to significant health challenges he has had to be hospitalized and it is unknown when he will be well enough for discharge...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please pray for him and his sweet family!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can read an update from his family on their blog at this link:</div>

On the joy you could have brought them...</div>
