Happy Birthday Wendy! | Reece's Rainbow Waiting Child

Happy Birthday to a Special Little Girl!

Well loved...

An orphanage favorite...

Sweet Wendy is 7 years old today (June 25)!

(Though since it's evening here it's probably June 26 in her country now...)

But her birthday is not such good news for her...

It means the day is drawing ever closer...

To a very frightening day...

The day she is transferred to a mental institution...

The day she'll leave her favorite nannies.

In the institution she probably will no longer be a favorite...

She has a big chance of being bedridden and ignored...

Left alone with her thoughts with very little stimulation...

Oh sweet girl...

What a sad day that will be for you...

But will anyone notice?

Will anyone know?

It's time to shout for you...

It's time to tell the world that you are waiting...

It's time for your Mama and Papa to see you...

It's time for you to be chosen and loved...

Time to go home where the threat of the institution can be removed...

Home where you can learn what it's like to have forever love...

And a family of your very own!

I hope that day comes soon!

I hope next June 25 you can celebrate your 8th birthday with your very OWN family!

Never forget you are special...

No matter what anyone tells you!

You are a child of God...

Your life matters...

You are special!

Imagine Your Son! | Reece's Rainbow Waiting Child - Oberon

Sweet little Oberon sounds like such a lovely child!

Just listen to all the great qualities he possesses!

(From his Reece's Rainbow profile.)

Social...

Friendly...

Outgoing...

Playful...

Sweet...

Active...

Helpful...

Lively...

Peaceful...

PERFECT!

(OK, I added the last one...

But don't you agree?)

He sounds like he would be a delight to a family...

A son you could be proud of...

A child who would bless your life if you had opportunity to be around him!

Sweet little Oberon faces two big challenges though...

One he has stage 4 deafness and cannot hear what others are saying...

And two, he has no family to make sure he has the opportunity to learn other ways off communication such as sign language...

He lives in a nearly silent world...

(It is possible that he can hear very loud sounds.)

But while he can't hear your voice...

He could see your smile...

Feel your hugs...

Learn sign language...

Learn to read...

Go to school...

Be a son, brother, grandson, and nephew...

If he only had the chance...

Please pray and consider...

If perhaps sweet Oberon could be your son!

Can you see him in your family picture?

Can you see him sitting at supper at your family table?

Can you see him playing in the sandbox with your other children?

Can you feel his good night hugs?

Can you hear his peaceful sigh...

When he feels safe at last?

Can you see his satisfaction when he learns to communicate what's in his heart and mind?

Imagine...

Your sweet son!

He's waiting for you!

Finals for Casey | Reece's Rainbow Waiting Child

What do Casey and I have in common?

We're both in the midst of finals...

But our finals are not the same!

Mine, though sometimes causing stress...

Will bring good opportunities my way!

Casey's will bring him a dismal future...

With no opportunities at all...

If he doesn't get some help!

*****

I'm in the midst final tests...

Marking classes off the list...

One by one!

By the end of the week this semester will be over...

But that won't be the end for me...

And that's a good thing!

I have more classes to take...

Big tests and small tests...

Including comprehensive exams...

Clinical education to participate in...

And finally graduation...

Next year in August!

But that won't be the end either...

There'll be board tests to take...

And a job to find...

I'll have so many opportunities in life!

But Casey...

Oh sweet Casey...

He's not in the midst of final tests...

He's in his final DAYS...

His final days as a 15 year old...

His final days to find a family...

If he doesn't find one by his birthday in June...

He'll be out of luck...

He'll have no future to look forward to...

No chance for an education...

No chance to get a job...

No chance to be part of a loving family...

No hope for something better than dreary days in a dreary place...

He'll be stuck in an institution...

For the REST OF HIS LIFE!

His final days of hope...

Are quickly running out...

And that's NOT a good thing...

We must spread his story...

And give him a voice...

We must give the last call for him!

Oh please if you are Casey's Mama...

Please hear his desperate call!

Oh Mama...

I've waited so very, VERY long for you...

To see my smiling face...

To see the hope I have that you won't leave me here!

Please don't delay any longer...

I don't have time to wait...

You see my FINAL days of hope are running out SO very, VERY soon...

Please quickly, quickly choose me now...

Before it is to late!

You can read Casey's profile on Reece's Rainbow HERE.

There is also more information (from someone who MET Casey) and more pictures of him HERE...

You can see EVEN MORE pictures of him HERE...

Below is a video someone put together for Casey...

With LOTS of pictures!

You can learn more about the adoption process HERE.

*****

Casey has a MATCHING grant offer of $250

Right now he has an adoption grant of $3,597...

When his grant fund reaches $3,838...

A generous donor will give him $250 more!

This match must be met by this coming Thursday, May 2, at 7 PM eastern time in order for him to get the matching money!

If you feel so led, you can help Casey get his matching grant by your tax-deductible (in the USA) donation to his grant fund HERE.

Even if you can't donate or adopt, you can share!

Please spread Casey's story far and wide...

You never know...

Someone you know might be his family!

Let's not let Casey "flunk" his finals...

There's far too much at stake!

His FUTURE hangs in the balance.

He just needs ONE family to say yes...

ONE family to set him free...

One family to make these final days into a new beginning...

The beginning of hope for many better days ahead...

Days of love and opportunity...

Happy, HAPPY days at last...

With a family of his own!

*****

If you might be Casey's family...

Please read THIS PAGE about the adoption process then contact Debbie at Reece's Rainbow (debbie@reecesrainbow.org)  right away!

Certain paperwork must be filed with immigration before his birthday.  If this is done, the adoption itself could be completed after his birthday.

Justice for Justine! | Reece's Rainbow Waiting Child

Beautiful Justine!

Other than the fact that you are beautiful, mobile, and active...

We know so little about you...

We don't know your favorite color...

We don't know whether you are an early bird or a sleepy head...

We don't know what your favorite school subject would be if you had a chance to go to school...

Most of what we do know sounds a little scary...

Microcephaly...

Autism...

Possible fetal alcohol syndrome...

And then the scary words that your abilities have probably regressed because you were so unfortunate to be placed in a facility that that was unable to give you adequate nutrition, medical care, and loving attention...

I understand you've been moved to a somewhat better facility recently...

But nowhere near as good as a family could be!

Oh what a sad life you have had!

You haven't had a chance to show the world who you are and what you can accomplish...

YET...

But Justine...

It's time for you to receive justice (like your name!)...

You deserve more...

Much, MUCH more!

God made you special...

He loves you very much...

And has so much more planned for you!

You've waited so, SO long to live the life he made you for...

But now it's time for that to change!

It's time for us to spread the word that you are waiting still...

It's time to find a special family who will look past the scary words that you've been labeled with...

And see the beautiful child God made...

A family who will see your great value...

And bring you home where you belong!

Home to love and family...

Home to opportunity and education...

Home to nutrition and medical care...

Home where you will be safe and cherished forever!

Even though we don't know who that wonderful family is yet...

God does!

I pray He helps them find you soon...

And tells their hearts that you're the one!

The daughter they never knew was theirs...

But who will be in their hearts forever once the find her!

Two Special Brothers! | Reece's Rainbow Waiting Children

Brody and Auggie...

Aren't they cute!

They have lovely blue eyes...

And smiles that will melt your heart!

They are brothers by birth...

Can you see the resemblance?

But sadly these boys do not live...

In a happy home together...

They live in two SEPARATE orphanages...

Wouldn't it be lovely if they could be reunited?

Brody and Auggie tend to harm themselves...

(Though they don't seem to hurt other people...)

They truly need love...

And patient care and understanding!

Who will be brave...

And step out and show...

These very special brothers...

That there lives are very precious...

And give them the gift of a loving family!

Oh who will show them better ways to receive stimulation...

So they don't have to hurt themselves?

Brody and Auggie deserve a chance!

Please consider them!
