Long time no blog...
And "my" sweet Emmitt has had many guests added to
his party!
They are on my sidebar...
But I'm way behind in blogging for them :(
Today I hope to begin to catch up!
The children in today's post were lovingly invited to
Emmitt's Party by Debbie - his angel tree warrior!
Thanks so much Debbie - and my apologies for the long delay in blogging for them!
They are precious and so deserve to be seen, chosen, and loved!

His first picture is disturbing...
He looks a bit angry and certainly sad...
But then...
Who could blame him for being upset?
Who could endure the hours and hours in a crib he's had to face?
Gratefully we have a more recent picture!
And it shows him OUTSIDE of that crib!
I'd still like to see a smile on his little face...
But maybe he's saving that for his Mama...
Could you be the Mama he's he's waiting for?
The one to show him that love really does exist...
And that he is special too?
*****
Before...
And after transfer to a mental institution...
Despondent...
Feeling hopeless...
Dark circles under his eyes...
His head shaved...
Oh who will choose a boy like me?
Who will see the little boy I was before I came to this frightful place?
Oh who will bring some hope to me...
And give me the chance to show who I can be if I only get some love?
There is hope for him if he only gets a chance!
*****
What a cutie!
Who could resist that smile?
His picture was taken some time ago as he's now reached the age of 8...
But that's not to old to be somebody's son!
Is that somebody you?
*****
Sweet little
Dennis is in a good orphanage for now...
But sometime after his 4th birthday he could be sent to a mental institution as most children with Down syndrome are...
Can you imagine that?
The sweetie deserves so much more!
Love and snuggles...
Education and opportunity...
A family all his own!
Thankfully
Dennis is just 3 years old...
So there is time to save him from ever finding out...
How terrible life in an institution can be!
He just needs a family to say yes to him!
A family to make him their son!
Could you be the one?
*****
Do you know what that HUGE hair bow means?
She has a nanny who thinks she's special...
And may give her some extra attention!
But she won't be able to do it forever :(
Sometime after her 4th birthday she'll have to leave her loving nanny and go to a strange and scary place...
And will likely be lost in the crowd...
There'll be too many kids...
And not enough help...
And not many toys at all...
She'll sit and rock and be bored out of her mind...
Oh please let's not let it happen!
There's still time to save this sweet little girl!
*****
Looks so sick and sad...
He desperately needs love and medical care!
He needs a family before it's too late!
Imagine some color on that sweet face...
What a difference love and medical care could make!
Can you save
Wyatt by making him your son...
Or by sharing his need to help him find a family?
****
Looks so thin!
His arms are super skinny and you can even see his ribs...
He's a starving little boy!
Oh what a difference nutrition could make...
And love could change his life!
But that love and nutrition must come very soon...
Or it will be forever too late!
Please share his sweet face or make him your son...
He hasn't much time to wait!

All of these Sweetie's (except for Kiril) are on Angel Tree this year!
For a $35 donation you can have an ornament with one of their pictures!
Thankfully Sonny and Emmitt have reached their angel tree goal of $1000 (though adoption costs much more than that)...
But Bruce, Dennis, Lianne, Wyatt, and Donavan are only part way there...
They need some more kind benefactors to help them reach the $1000 goal...
And even small donations help!
Could you give one or two of them boost?
Donations are tax deductible.
You can visit the angel tree
HERE and order your ornament(s) today!
*****
And don't forget sweet Kiril...
He's not on angel tree this year but he still needs a family...
And his adoption fund needs to grow too!
You can donate to Kiril's fund
HERE.
*****
Has one of these sweetie's caught your eye?
Is one of them your child?
You can learn more about the adoption process
HERE.
Can't donate or adopt?
Don't worry...
You can still help!
Praying for these children or sharing their need with your friends and acquaintances can help them find the love and families they are waiting for!
*****
And while you pray for all the others...
Please consider praying for "my"
Emmitt too!
I'd love to see him OUT of that bed and surrounded by a loving family of his own!
His time to be adopted is getting shorter by the day :(
