Getting Hooked on RR

I have always had a passion for children, as well as those with special needs. Reece's Rainbow brings these two passions together, AND I even get a sweet little boy out of the deal! :) Now I am hooked on RR, and I am proud to say that I am getting others to be hooked too! One person is now a prayer warrior, and I am prodding two others to be Christmas warriors. (You know who you are...) I know that not everyone is in a position to adopt, but you can always pray, advocate, and support adopting families! Reece's Rainbow is just busting at the seams with children who have found their forever families. A large part of this is due to people spreading the word and advocating for the kids. I heard about it from another family who adopted a little girl, and now I'm spreading the word to others.
There are so many gorgeous children who need families. Some have down syndrome, some have HIV, some have FAS or CP or any other combination of letters. But they are all needing one thing: a family to love them and bring them home. If they aren't rescued, their situations are dire. Most never live past the age of 10. They die alone, in cribs, where they've spent their whole lives. The RR world was rocked recently when one of "our" kids, Anne Marie, passed away. She was only four years old.


Four.


She died without a family, without the medical care that would have saved her life.
All of us Mama Bears are fighting hard so that this does not happen. Please fight with us. Look at their faces and try and tell me it's not worth it. I dare you.
Pray for the kids, become a Prayer Warrior. Pray for the adopting families, it is a very tough process.

Get the word out. Tell people about adoption. Tell them about the mental institutions that suck the life out of little children. Tell them they can help.
Support adopting families. Give financially, or give an encouraging word. Support the waiting children by donating to their grant funds. If adoption were free, there would be no waiting children.
Thank you for helping.
