Update on Toby!

Toby: from orphan to son

before: this little boy was an orphan in China.  

after: this is the same little boy! He has been adopted and is living with his family in America. Meet Toby Shaw.   He is also receiving treatment for his arthrogryposis.  

The real blessing for me is that I got to see him recently because he lives a couple hours away from me. And yes he is this cute! I absolutely love updates.

Update on Raymond

                              Here are Raymond's photos again. 
               
                   I wish these were better. Raymond is now five.                                           

                  He now has $3000 in his account for his adoption!!
          
                                He needs parents now.  

                      He is listed on the Reese's Rainbow website.      
                    
                            on the significant grant page here.

Please, please, please go to her site and your donations make you eligible for the prizes.  

Anthony has a family!

This handsome young man has a family who is committed to bring him into their family. Congratulations Anthony.  I am so happy to be a part of a marvelous group advocated for him.  You can change lives through adoption, the child and yours. God bless you for praying for Anthony.  His family's blog is here

for Raymond

This is the newest post at Bringing Hope to 12 in 2013.  Their link is here.

There are new highlights for this little boy, Raymond.  There  are updates for him especially this:

Raymond

a much better picture of sweet Raymond.  How do I know he is sweet? Because every person I know who has arthrogryposis is an amazing person and each one is sweet, loving and precious.   The pictures that are available of Raymond are not of the best quality as you can see here

Raymond has not had an updated photo for a long time, which is very unfortunate for him.  But that doesn't stop me from loving him and sharing his story and picture.   A good friend was able to have an artist paint a portrait of Raymond which is better than any current photos of him.  We believe he deserves this chance to share this new portrait and hope and pray that someone will adopt him.
