Their Greatest Wish

Wishes...

What are wishes?

They are things one hopes will happen...

Or things one hopes to get or achieve...

Little boys may wish for a new bike...

Toy cars...

Or an I-pad...

Little girls may wish for a new doll...

Or a princess dress...

Children wish for an ice cream cone, or pizza...

But how many wish for a family of their own?

A Mom and Dad...

Grandparents...

Siblings?

For some children family is not something to wish for...

It is something they already have...

And often take for granted!

Not so with the children below...

They are waiting for something every child should have...

And never have to wish for!

A family of their very own!

*****

Gertie

Gertie is 13 years old...

She is said to be smart, friendly, and outgoing...

She enjoys drawing and playing games...

And memorizes songs and poems...

But she is still waiting for a family of her own...

Where is a Mama to admire her drawings and tell her what a great job she is doing?

Where is a Papa to beam with pride as she recites a poem or sings for him?

*****

Then there is darling Lee...

Don't let his serious face fool you...

They say little Lee laughs at cartoons and when you play with him...

He is said to be very intelligent too!

This sweet 5 year-old is waiting for a family of his very own...

Let's hope his wish comes true in 2016!

*****

Zayne

Zayne is 12 years old and enjoys playing with other children...

But he is hoping  for a Mom and Dad of his own...

Zayne must be adopted before he turns 14 or it will be too late according to the adoption laws in his country...

I hope he doesn't have to wait that long!

Is Zayne your son?

*****

Lovely Adelaide is 10 years old...

She recites poetry and sings songs...

She likes to help others...

And is said to be sweet, joyful, and communicative...

She would be such a delightful daughter...

When will her family find her?

*****

Crystal

Sweet Crystal lives in a country that does not allow her picture to be publicly displayed...

But she is a real little girl...

With dark hair and brown eyes...

Who is waiting for a real family...

To choose her for their very own!

Interested families can see her picture by contacting Reece's Rainbow.

My little Micah is waiting too...

Who could resist that sweet face?

Micah is 3 years old...

I hope he does not have to grow up waiting and wishing for the love of a family...

I hope he can experience that love very soon...

Is Micah your son?

*****

Every child should have a family...

But some can only wish for one...

Will their wish come true in 2016?

Please don't forget Maxim and Evalyn!

They are still waiting and wishing for a family too!

Would you like a treasure?

What comes to mind when you hear the word Treasure?

A bag full of golden coins?

Exotic items from King Tut's Tomb?

Heir loom china from your great, great, great grandmother?

These are certainly treasures...

But there are more valuable treasures than these!

The treasures I am thinking of are living, breathing, one of a kind treasures...

Similar in a way, yet each uniquely different!

I am thinking of little boys...

Cute little boys...

With sweet little faces...

One is sweet Bryce...

He like riding a bike and scribbling on paper...

He enjoys music and loves to play games and interact with people...

What a fun little boy and oh so sweet and cute!

Isn't he a treasure?

*****

Then there is sweet Timeus...

Just look at that smile!

He likes to be held - doesn't he look like a sweet little snuggle bug?

He enjoys music and playing with toys...

Oh what a treasure this sweet little one is!

*****

And then there's sweet Micah...

My angel tree boy...

He's close to his caregivers and gets along well with other children...

He likes music and toys too!

What a sweet darling...

He's a treasure too!

*****

Each one unique in his own special way...

Each one is valuable, and special!

Each one needs a family of his very own...

A family who'll recognize his value...

And cherish him too!

Who'll keep him safe and nourished and loved!

Who will be the family these sweet boys need?

Three special families for three little boys...

Don't you want a treasures worth more than gold or silver?

Here they are!

Boys are worth more than gold, or silver!

They are living treasures...

And they are waiting to be found...

Is one of them yours?

They are treasures too!

Two more amazing party guests - Best Friends who hope to be Forever Brothers!

Two more guests have arrived for Peter's Party!

And they are lovely boys indeed!

Marty and Gary are foster brothers and best friends!

They are both waiting for a family of their own...

And would love to be adopted together!

Gary is a very polite boy who loves to sing and is good with children...

He wants to be a teacher when he grows up.

Gary will be 12 in February.

Marty is good with computers, knows a lot of English words, and wants to be a teacher when he grows up!

Marty is already 13...

So his time is running out...

According to the rules of his country he must be adopted before his 14th birthday (next November)...

Or he will be ineligible for adoption...

Recently the agency interviewed the boys again about the possibility of adoption...

And this is what Marty said...

“This is the third time you have come here to meet with us… Why don’t we have a family yet?” 

Poor sweet boy!

No child should have to wait and hope for a family...

Family is a basic right!

But while Marty desperately wants a family...

Listen to what else he said...

“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.” 

Sweet, sweet boy!

Do you have room for these sweet boys in your home?

They would make amazing sons!

To help with their adoption costs...

Each boy has a $3,000 agency grant...

And no required orphanage donation!

You can read more about these sweet boys by clicking on their names:

MARTY and GARY

You can read more about the adoption process HERE.

*****

I would like to thank Gary's and Marty's advocate for introducing these sweet boys to me and for donating to Peter to help him reach his angel tree goal...

To bring these lovely children to his party!

Please consider sharing to help MARTY and GARY  and Peter find their families and to help Peter reach his angel tree goal!

The party's not full yet...

There's still room for more!
