A World Away .......

Many of you may or may not have seen, that a few months ago, I added a link to my side bar for Reece's Rainbow.Reece's Rainbow is an incredible international adoption ministry striving to make a difference and save the lives of beautiful children living in orphanages over seas.Children in other countries,who just happen to have Down syndrome, who are treated as outcasts and viewed as having no value to the society to which they have been born into.These children remain in orphanages until they reach the age of 4 or 5. At which time they are permanently transferred to mental institutions.There, they are no longer available for adoption and live out the remainder of their lives unloved and forgotten.The life expectancy of a child transferred to an institution is cut by more than half.Some data suggests that many do not live past the age of 10.Many of these children are in desperate need of medical care not available to them and without it they will most assuredly, die.I encourage you to at least click over and learn a bit more about this amazing organization.Meet children that have found their forever families and those desperately waiting.Reese's Rainbow has committed to blog "31 kids for T21" and will post about a different child ,available for adoption,each day of the month of October.How great is that?I often wonder about my draw to this ministry.I often wonder if it is something more that calls me to keep tabs on these little children and visit the other blogs of families adopting from Reece's Rainbow.I often wonder if Zoey were in a more stable place,medically speaking,we in a slightly better place, financially speaking,if God would not be nudging but thrusting us forward.For now,this is my part.With the hope that maybe one day,one person,one family may look into the eyes of one of these innocent children and be called to bring them home.
