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.

How quickly things can deteriorate after transfer.....
Isn't she a doll?! I can just picture her playing dress up with older sisters or being pushed on swings by a big brother. She would thrive in a family like Olivia has. So adorable. Look at the next picture down. She has been transferred....and this picture was taken THREE weeks after. Just THREE weeks. Her inquisitive little face has all but disappeared. What I see now is a scared and unsure little girl. No more pig tails and cutesy dresses my friends, she is far away from the baby house where she at least got some kind of attention. I don't know what mental asylum she was sent off too.....but look at her face folks....can you picture her there any longer? This my friends is why so many of us adopt these sweet little ones. Please consider little Teri Lynn or any of the other sweet little ones on Reece's Rainbow. Yes not everyone has $17-35k in their bank accounts, we sure didn't. It takes hard work, a lot of it - and prayers. IT CAN BE DONE. We did it.
