for: MULLIGAN STEW: MICAH SIX EIGHT!

Julia Nalle at Micah Six Eight has made her amazing Mulligan Stew 2013.  She has put brought many orphans, families and Lost Boys to the "table". They are all so needy and we need donors to fulfill their wishes, dreams and hope.  It is a give-away with many awesome items. 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.

for Drake!

This is Drake, he is the featured child this month at Bringing Hope to 12. His post is HERE.

His family has found him, in his featured month!!! That is phenomenal.  I didn't even get to post about him before his family committed to him. Yes he has arthrogryposis also.

Igor has been adopted!

Before and After: from "Igor" to Joseph Igor Patterson.  

My very first post on this blog was last year on March 20 and I was compelled to write about "Igor".  You can go here to read my first post about adoption and Igor was the first child I advocated for.  The picture above was the only picture I had of him for two years.  Finally Igor has been adopted into a very loving family who looked at that picture and knew he was their son.  His name now is Joseph Igor Patterson.
