For: Samuel and Sara! update!

Samuel and Sara have a family! yes! they are being adopted together. This is the original post, below.


This lovely girl is listed on Reese's Rainbow website. 
Sara


Samuel
and this is her brother, who is also listed on Reese's Rainbow website here


Julia Nalle, who is a strong advocate for orphans has these children on her heart in a very personal manner.  She searched for and found these children who were institutions in E.Europe. The little boy is in a mental institution because he was in a wheelchair.  That is all - he is typical in every other way.  He doesn't have a family and so he is put into an adult mental instituion.   The little girl is his sister who is in an orphanage.  She has HIV.  Please read Julia's blog about these precious children here.

SCREAMING and YELLING for KYLE!


KYLE
I have very exciting news.  We have another baby from Africa who has arthrogryposis and he is available for adoption.  He is listed as Kyle.  I copied the following from Bringing Hope to 12 in 2012 blog.  The lovely ladies over there have this information about Kyle:


Kyle is also in Africa, but we have not confirmed if it's the same country as Francesca was. Kyle was barely four pounds at birth and has been given a feeding tube through his nose to help him gain weight. He is now three months old and was born on August 18th of this year.

To adopt from Kyle's country you need to be:

*at least 30 years of age
*have been married at least 5 years

They are flexible on the number of children already in the home if you are adopting a child with special needs. Also this is a Hague accredited nation which is only important for the fact that you have to fill out certain paperwork for it.

Based on Kyle's picture his lower body looks very similar to both of my children who both now walk. He has clubfeet, knee contractures and possible hip involvement. Kyle's AMC is presenting very typically so we can recommend to any potential families a treatment plan to get him standing and taking steps. They do not mention anything with his upper body, but I would assume contractures affect them, but maybe not. His wrist (the one visable in the picture) looks straight (not bent down) and his elbow is bent. Those are great signs. So if his upper body is affected at least he's in a good position to start with.

Right now Kyle's biggest obsticle is not his joints (AMC), but is his rumered lack of stimulation. He's fed and changed, but like my son, he has received very little human interaction for the first part of his life as an orphan, much less than babies in families. Thankfully he has been listed so young (three months old) and his future is bright.

Please share his information! Let's find his family!

Contact Ruth Cox for more information on Kyle. Her email isyakorphans@gmail.com

FOR NICO!

This is Nico! Isn't he the cutest little guy and I love his red hair! 
He is in great need of help bcause conditions have changed in his orphanage and he has to lay in bed all day.  Please pray for him, and his family so that they can finish the adoption quickly. they need money also you can donate here
He is being adopted by this very loving family:

NICO for the McIntee family — AZ

When Kara discovered Reece’s Rainbow, it was like a dream come true. She has always been called to orphans and especially the work of Mother Teresa, but didn’t know how to help. So, having a tangible way to advocate for these children was amazing.

Then Kara saw Nico and everything changed. She fell head over heels in love, but because they were not able to adopt at that time, she vowed to advocate as hard as she could for him, in hopes that a family would find him. Things changed very quickly once that “yes” was on both Kyle and Kara’s hearts, and they have been blessed to walk through each door as it has opened. They are praying that they will be able to give Nico the home and family that he deserves soon.
They are thankful for this opportunity and hope you will pray for them as they go through this process.

You can donate to their adoption here
