It's hard to believe but Reece's Rainbow turned 10 this week!
It's been a crazy ten years and almost 1600 children have be united with their families since those early days.
While there have been some changes over the years, the focus remains the same bringing orphans home. One of the more recent changes involves the oldest children on RR, the aging out who's window for rescue is starting to narrow.
Thanks to a pooling of resources all older children are eligible for a 10 000 grant (until the fund runs down which i'm told is many, many adoptions from now). This 10 000 goes a long way to helping families combat the high cost of international adoption and the lower fund raising time which can accompany these older kids.

Already listed for over 6 years and still waiting :(
Listed for over 5 years
Each listed for 4 years
And Tara my first Angel and so close to aging out who's been listed almost 6 years :(
Each of these beautiful young ladies have been listed for years, a quarter of their lives waiting on a site that advocates getting these kids seen. Sometime change is hard but in this case I'm so grateful that the older children are now eligible for this amazing grant and hopefully these girls will celebrate 11 years of Reece's with families of their own.
