So upset when I found out our Adoption Blog had been hacked into and we were unable to make any updates on our children. But with all of this frustration I decided to recreate not just a blog of Part Two of our Adoption Journey but a whole new beginning in bringing our children home. The first photo I am adding to our new blog is the last photo I took of Patrick and our littlest boy Zack soon to be named Jake.
As our son Patrick holds his little brother both children are crying. So hard to separate these two boys. Knowing that there will be several months between these two trips some days it is so heart breaking. This one tiny boy weighs just under 17 pounds and has the kindest little heart. An innocent child of our Lord and needs a family and a home. He needs parents to hold and rock him during his illness. As he lays in a tiny crib much of his days involve rocking back and forward and he looks at the ceiling above. Beside him there are 3 other cribs and these children also lay alone in their beds rocking back and forward. Seldom are they held and comforted when they are in pain and cry. Their cries are soft and many times ignored. I ask myself and I ask you is this the way a child should live his life in a bed. While we prepare for the holidays Zack and his sister will wait for us to come bring them home. But to do this we need everyone's prayers and help.
This Month is National Adoption Month.
During this month I ask that you sponsor a family or a child waiting for a home.
There are many agencies with waiting children and many of these children like Patrick and Zack who wait.
Patrick was also an orphan, he laid dying in a bed beside 3 other little girls whom died. Patrick was the only
child who survived and lived through many days of rocking in his bed. At age 2 years he weighed under 8 pounds and skin so fragile and filled with MRSA. Around his mouth the flesh had been eaten away and flies had laid their eggs. His body was fragile and many bones had been broken. Why did this happen to this boy? Did Patrick like many other children deserve to be treated like trash?
As I held my son Patrick I knew in my heart he was our child. And like his little brother Zack I promised him I would find away to bring him home. In prayer I ask our Lord for the guidance to make it happen. I will not give up on these two children and we will bring them home. Our Christmas is these two children. There is no gift or treasure greater than a child of God. A child is a blessing and not a mistake or a product to be discarded aside like trash. Please visit Reeces Rainbow www.reecesrainbow.org and view the many children waiting maybe your son or daughter is waiting. Maybe their is a child you wish to sponsor or adopt? Instead of gifts this year like our family try helping a family like ours bring their children home. Both Gary and I cherish our children and have been very bless to been able to adopt. Please again I ask you share our blog and also you can donate directly on our site through our PAYPAL ACCOUNT LINK attached.
God bless and may these new blog bring the miracles and prayers we need to bring our children home.
