When Cuteness Hides...

Some children and babies seem...

Charlotte

To have a double dose of cuteness!

Adam

Handsome!

London

And smiley!

Felix


Tabitha


Ted

Dressed up sweet!


Annalisa


Joanie

Cute little mannerisms...


Dominick

Those chubby baby cheeks...


Penelope

Gorgeous eyes!


Beckett

And just plain super cuteness!


Hudson


Ivan

They're almost irresistible!

Thad


Lorraine


Angie

But sometimes that cuteness though still there...

Hides underneath some terrible things that should never NEVER be!

Sometimes you still see glimpses of the cuteness peaking out...

And other times that cuteness hides and scarcely can be seen...

'Cause the dreadful things the kids have faced...

Have buried it so deep!

Meet just a few of the sad little faces of those who've experienced these terrible things...

And suffered so SO much :(

Malnutrition...


Donavan

Institutionalization...


Daniel

Lack of medical care...


Gisselle

Shear neglect...


Nathan

Being caged up for years!


Gabrielle

And a frightful lack of love!


Ekaterina

The sparkles in their eyes have gone :(


Dennis before and after :(

They've lost the heart to smile...


Maxim before and after :(

Fingers and face can become red and raw when no one cares for you :(


Reagan

Oh doesn't anyone care about us?


Bartholemew

The hurt has been so deep!


Seth

Oh please don't lose all hope for us!


Daniel

If we could just experience at last...


Gisselle

The life that we've been missing!

Nathan

Enough food to eat and medical care...


Donavan

And time outside our beds!


Gabrielle

And most of all we need some love so we can grow and shine!


Reagan

Please, please don't forget our plight!


Ekaterina

And please consider if perhaps...

Even one of us could be your child!


Seth

Or share our plight and help us find the Mom and Dad for us...


Maxim

And see what love can do!


Dennis  - Our smiles just might come back!

*****

And don't forget  that some of us whose cuteness is not yet hidden...


Felix - HELP - My transfer is imminent!

Face transfer to a dreadful place...


R.J. I will soon be transferred - save me soon!

Where our cuteness is in great danger...


Nannette - My transfer is IMMINENT!

Of hiding far away :(


Arthur - I face transfer soon though I'm only 4 years old :(

Please save us before it's too late!


Janna - I'm already in a laying down room - and facing transfer too :(

Please pray and share...

And if you can...

Put a little money in our grants!

And just in case that you just might be...

The Mom or Dad for even one of us...

We'll share this link with you!
