New girl needs sponsor--and family!!

This little girl is also brand new to the institution.

Isn't she stunningly beautiful? (click on the picture to see a full view--the smaller one just doesn't do her justice!!)

This is Sveta.

She is almost 7 years old.  We are told she has very mild diagnoses: mild mental delay, tetraparesis of slight degree.
The institution is encouraged by recent adoptions and wants to find her a family!!! They are able to recognize the light and the hope in her, and see that she would be better served by the love of a family then kept behind walls.
Their assessment of her is that she is a normal little girl who would thrive with parents!

We are hoping to get her a sponsor right away so that she doesn't suffer the shock and decline that often accompanies kids at the institution. With a sponsor, we can pad her transition into the institution, maintain her progress and functioning, and keep alive her full hope for a family!

Doesn't this sound like a great way to help out a little girl?
For less than $40 a month you can keep this little girls hope of a life outside of the institution alive.

Please contact Life2Orphans at questions@life2orphans.org.
Please pray for her to have a sponsor and a family!!!

New arrivals need sponsors

These four little boys have recently been transferred to the institution and are likely available for sponsorship through Life2Orphans. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they had someone to ease their transition through sponsorship?:

Little Igor has been living in a younger child orphanage.  The transition to the institution will likely be very difficult for him.  Because of his arthrogyposis, he will be put in the bedridden wing.  So many people are praying he will be rescued.  You can see his Reece's Rainbow link here: http://reecesrainbow.org/1379/igor-1

Brent has been waiting for a family for a long time. . Too long. Now he has been moved from the baby house to the institution. I do not know if he is walking or will be considered bedridden.  Either way, the change will be difficult for him.  Here is his RR link: http://reecesrainbow.org/831/brent-35

Nolan looks like the sweetest boy and is listed as having mild delays. It seems impossible that his family wouldn't have come for him yet. Now he is waiting in an adult institution instead of a children's home. There is no mention of him not walking, so I am hoping he is not bedridden.  His RR link is here: http://reecesrainbow.org/1377/nolan117

DOUBLE UPDATE:  Spencer now has a family coming for him!!! Click here to see their page
UPDATE: It is now thought that Spencer is at a separate institution, meaning he is not available for sponsorship. However, he still needs adopted!!!!
Little Spencer has Down Syndrome, and was just transferred from his baby home to the institution. I do not know if he is bedridden or not. I know many people are praying for his adoption.  You can read more here: http://reecesrainbow.org/976/spencer-35

All of the above children are at the same institution and could be adopted separately or together. They are at a facility where they could also be sponsored to send gifts to, or, to have an individual caretaker.  You can email Life2Orphans at questions@life2orphans.org for more information. There is also more information on the sponsorship program on the tab at the top of my blog that says: sponsor these orphans.

Please pray for these children.  Transfer is not easy for them.

Heart Broken

Today, for some reason, I clicked on the "In Memorandum" link on the Reece's Rainbow's page.

No, thank goodness, sweet Maxim's picture is not there.





But this picture was.








Look at this dear, sweet little boy.

For years, he lived in the same institution that Maxim does.
For years, he waited for his family to find him.

I remember always thinking how sweet and shy he looked, just like he would be the most wonderful son.

I remember that his Reece's Rainbow description always listed such minor diagnoses for him.
Diagnoses that had he, been in a family, limited his life very little.

Instead, his life was limited very much.

I remember also that his description seemed to hint that he was in more fragile condition than looks might imply.  I noticed that every time I read it.


I keep thinking that loving arms, holding him, could have made such a difference.

Children are not made to be without loving arms. Their immune systems just don't work well without them.

Wishing so much I could be the loving arms for all of them.

It makes such a difference, anything we do.  Please, if you can, provide loving arms, however possible.
