Sunday Awareness from Reece's Rainbow

So I meant to be on here a lot more than I currently have been (isn't that always the case?).

However, since my last post:

Hubby has successfully defended his MA thesis defense
We are officially moving across the country in 3 weeks (eek!)
We are still house and job hunting for said move (double eek)
My placenta previa has resolved (oh, did I mention we're expecting again?)


With everything going on, writing has, once again,  fallen to the bottom of my to-do list and probably will remain so for a little while longer as we pack, clean, and say goodbye to an area we've lived in for a decade.
No matter whether a place has been good or bad there is always grief to be worked through when leaving a significant place.


Since I'm a little nuts though and we're already establishing so many new changes I figured why not add one more little change that maybe could make an actual difference in the long run?

My hope is that on Sunday's when I have internet access, I can share a few of the children on RR who are still waiting for their forever families, starting today.


First up is Victoria.

Victoria has only been listed on RR for a short time but is already under 2 years from aging out where she'll no longer be eligible for international adoption. According to her bio she loves to dance and already knows some English. Judging from the look in her eyes I bet there's a lot of life in this girl.

Katerina,on the other hand, it seems has been listed on RR for too long.



 This little girl has cerebal palsy which really does benefit from therapies which are easily attained in North America (my own brother had PT for his mild CP when he was little), as well as other listed conditions. More importantly, this little one needs a family to watch over her.


Finally, Adelaide also seems to have been listed at RR for awhile. I love reading her description as a a sweet, joyful girl because that certainly seems to shine in her picture don't you think?

This little girl has spina bifida and is in a wheelchair but doesn't seem to let that slow her down at all, now all she needs is a family to help her reach her full potential.


Obviously, the end goal of advocacy is adoption, but equally important are those who give, those who pray, and those who share the stories and the needs of the children around the world who sit and wait. Do you fall into any of those categories?
