There are as many as 140 million orphaned children and 16.2 million of those are “double-orphaned,” meaning that both parents have died. It is obvious that no one family, church, or community can bring home tens of millions of children. But if everyone who thought about adoption actually followed through and adopted one child, far fewer children would lie sick, neglected, exploited, dying, and forgotten.

Sorry for lack of blog posts!
I have big plans for this website, I just need a little time to get it started. Not only do I want to advocate for the littles in Eastern Europe, but kiddos world wide. I met a WONDERFUL pastor from Port Au Prince, Haiti this past Friday at work. He was stopping by the New England states to thank the people that helped with donations to his orphanage last year. Let me tell you, this man is a gift to the people he helps. His wife took in a few kiddos off the street a few years ago, and now they have well over 80 beautiful children under their care. He also started a school for the local children, a medical clinic, church, etc. I am going to ask permission to post about his orphanage and mission here so I can help advocate for his children. He loves all the children very much, and loves his country.
Please also leave comments on what you'd like to see here as well. I also want to post info on children and causes that YOU are advocating for - so please leave messages! :)

Olivia's Friend needs a family!
I thought I'd show Olivia a couple pictures of the kiddos from her groupa. I showed her the Parker's handsome boy. Showed her Kristopher's pic. She was a little interested, but not excited. Then I scrolled down to Pauline. "Mama! Poleeeeeena! Mama! Mine!" - she smacked me in the chest (hard by the way), pointed to Polina's picture and said "nim!" - which is her word for mine. I asked her if that was her friend and she said a resounding YES! She then said, "polina DOM! mama DOM!" - Through gestures and some of her Olivia-isms I managed to decipher that she wants Polina to have a home and a mama. And a cat. lol. As soon as she said cat, she took off to find hers, then moved on to destroying the playroom in typical Olivia fashion. Have I ever mentioned this girl has no attention span? The ONLY thing she sits still long enough for is food and watching her Wiggles DVD (well, and even then she is moving). Polina will be transferring in the near future to a "boarding school" - granted it's a place that will clothe her, feed her, give her some kind of an education and shelter her - but it's no way a substitute for a family folks. This little beauty needs a mama and papa soon. If you have any questions about Polina or any of the other kids at the same baby house (33 on Reeces Rainbow) - post your message in the comments section or you can email me.
Please, someone save Olivia's little friend. Polina needs a castle to call her own.

Look at this sweet baby!
This little cutie is in the baby house Olivia lived in. She has Down Syndrome and possible HIV. She is so precious and deserves a family ASAP. Please consider this little princess.
