Happy Birthday Micaiah!!!!

Dear Micaiah,

HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY!

Our prayers have been answered...

You are an orphan NO MORE!

Last year I had a virtual birthday party for you on my blog...

This year you can celebrate your special day with your VERY OWN family!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Last year you were an orphan...

But you were not forgotten...

Many people prayed for you...

And hoped a family would find you...

Before this day, your 16th birthday!

And God heard our prayers for you!

He sent you a wonderful family...

And we are so very glad!

I was so sorry to hear that your health has been giving you challenges!

I'll be praying for you and your family, and I hope you can come home from the hospital soon!

I know God is powerful loving and strong...

And he will be with you and your sweet family every step of the way!

Please keep up your courage...

God has great plans for you!

I am including my post for your 15th birthday below...

So you can see our love for you!

Never forget how special you are!

*****

My dear Emmitt...

(That's the name I knew you by last year.)

Your special day is here!

You are 15 years old today!

And though the day may go unnoticed in the institution where you live...

We're celebrating your life here!

And though you may feel lonely...

And think no one knows you're there...

You have some friends around the world who love you...

And are trying to get you out!

We're spreading the word...

And sharing your face...

And praying you'll soon be free!

To let you know how special you are...

And help raise money for your ransom...

Your friends have invited the children below to attend your party today...

And have given some gifts to add to a fund that will help you come home we pray!

You are not alone!

We have you in our hearts!

You are...

Surrounded...

By...

LOVE!!!!

Keep up your courage sweet boy!

God has good plans for you!

We pray that someday very soon...

Your turn for a family will come!

Until that day may God keep you strong....

And safe in his own tender care! 

And now I've asked sweet Navid to give you a big birthday hug from all of us!

(PS - "Navid" (Narkeez) is with his family now too!)

PSS - If any "Emmitt" fans out there want to leave Micaiah a Birthday message you can visit his Mom's blog here and leave a comment!

Mom's Special Girls | Reece's Rainbow Waiting Children

Do you ever look through the faces at Reece's Rainbow?

There are so many children there...

It's hard to see them all...

But some of them stand out to you...

Those special kids that grab your heart!

Today I want to share with you some very special kids...

That have grabbed my Mom's heart.

It isn't the darling babies...

Or the cute little toddlers...

That have especially grabbed her heart...

She has a special heart for the big kids...

The ones who are running out of time...

Mom doesn't have a blog to shout from...

She has no Facebook account to share them on...

But she has a very important way to help them...

She prays for them DAILY...

And prayer is powerful!

God can see each child where they are...

He knows what heartaches they have seen...

And knows who their families are...

Even if those families don't know it yet!

God can work out circumstances to help those families find their kids...

And give them courage to step out and get them before it is too late...

He's already provided a family for Emmitt and two other children Mom loved...

Mom still prays for Emmitt and his family every day!

But four of Mom's special kids still wait...

All four are sweet girls!

Karen...

And her little sister Chrystyna...

Need a family soon!

Karen is already 17 and would normally not be available for adoption after age 16...

But because she has a younger sister...

She can still be adopted before she turns 18 in January...

IF her sister is adopted with her!

Might you have room for two more sweet daughters?

Please hurry!

Karen's time runs out in LESS than one year!

*****

Then there is Julie...

She's almost 15...

That means she has one year left...

One year to be chosen...

One year to find a family...

Oh who will say yes to her?

*****

And last (but not least!) is sweet Kristie...

She's about 12 years old...

Her story is sad...

Because her big sister was adopted without her :(

I wonder if she fears she will never be wanted?

Kristie has normal intelligence...

And her physical needs are relatively minor and do not prevent from taking care of herself!

Please consider Kristie!

*****

Would you like to help answer my Mama's prayers?

Can you spread the word about these special girls?

You never know...

One of your friends or acquaintances might the family they need!

And if there's a chance...

Even a tiny chance...

That one of these girls could be yours...

Please pray and consider them carefully!

If you hear God calling you to one of these girls...

Please say yes!

You can read more about these girls by clicking on their names in this post!

Karen

Chrystyna

Kristie

Julie

Thank you for caring and helping to answer my Mom's prayers for "her" girls!

Your Faces WILL be seen! | Reece's Rainbow Waiting Children

My dear forgotten boys...

Colin and Leo...

It's YOUR TURN now!

You've waited for years...

Your faces often overlooked...

In the sea of many faces...

That fill the pages of waiting kids on Reece's Rainbow!

But NOW...

It is YOUR TURN to be seen!

(At least right here on my little blog!)

Oh sweet boys...

I hope that somehow...

Some way...

Whether on this blog or not...

Your family will see your sweet faces...

And know that you are theirs!

I pray that soon you will not only be seen...

But chosen!

Chosen to belong to a family of your very own!

*****

You can learn more about Colin and Leo by clicking on their names in this post!

Colin and Leo may be adopted separately or together!

(They are not brothers - yet!)

You can learn more about the adoption process HERE.

*****

Yes, you may have noticed a change in my blog!

I'm shifting my focus to Colin and Leo...

Because my dear sweet Emmitt now has a family and no longer needs advocacy to find one!

You can read about his wonderful family on their Reece's Rainbow family sponsorship page HERE!

If you are able, you may also make a donation to help Emmitt's family with the adoption expenses so he can come home soon!
(Donations are tax-deductible in the US!)

Thank you SO MUCH for all your prayers and support of Emmitt!

They made a difference for him!

Soon he will be HOME!

Victoria's family sponsorship page says they have a very important meeting on March 4...

Tomorrow they have the appointment with her government to ask for a referral for her and her new sister Gillian!

That means Victoria and Gillian will probably MEET their new family THIS WEEK!!!

*****

Victoria and Emmitt have been my two special kids for a long time now...

So glad they will soon officially be orphans NO MORE!!!!

Please pray for them and their families that the process will go quickly and smoothly so they can come home soon!!!!

Pray also for a smooth transition to their new families!

Happy, Happy Day!!!!!

Congratulations Emmitt, Victoria, and Gillian!!!!!!

Guess Where?

Guess where this place is?

No idea?

Maybe this next picture will help...

It has to do with...

"My" sweet Emmitt!

That's right!

These are pictures from Emmitt's orphanage complex - Orphanag 67!

There are three buildings at the institution...

But only TWO are in use...

Because of this the residents are overcrowded!

The third building is currently unusable due to disrepair...

But their is good news!

Life2Orphans has been given permission to help with renovations!

We have an opportunity to make a difference!

When the building is repaired the children will be able to be spread out between the buildings...

This will allow a place for a PLAY AREA in each of the rooms!

The first phase of the project is to raise $4000 for new windows...

To protect the children from the cold in winter...

And the sweltering heat of summer!

I hope that Emmtt will soon have a family...

He has a small window of time yet to be adopted...

I pray he'll get out in time!

But there are many in his institution who sadly will not have that opportunity...

And we have the opportunity to make their lives at least a little bit more comfortable!

If you are able I encourage you to make a donation by pressing the link below...

Life2Orphans/Orphanage 67 Fundraiser

Donations are tax deductible in the US!

Even if you are unable to donate at this time...

You can still make a difference by your prayers...

And by sharing this need with others!

Thanks SO much to Life2Orphans for giving permission to use these pictures from their website to help raise funds for this worthy project!
