We are a family of 7. Our youngest son was born with Down syndrome. We learned a lot about Down syndrome, including the sad reality that some children born with Ds in other countries do not go home with their family after being born. For many reasons, these babies and babies born with other issues, including physical defects or differences, go to orphanages or baby homes. Most children are transferred to institutions after the age of 4 or so. These beautiful gifts from God don't go to school, get therapy, or have a mommy or daddy to kiss them goodnight. Most live very sad lives, sometimes without adequate food and medical attention. We stepped out in faith and adopted a little girl from Eastern Europe with Ds who has quickly become a light in our lives. This blog was begun to highlight one little sweet boy who is still an orphanage and needs a family. Daniel, as referred to on Reece's Rainbow, has a precious face and gorgeous eyes. Please help us find him a mommy and daddy.

Yesterday was the official start date of the Angel Tree!

And of course, I was not efficient enough to make a post yet!

But the good news is we have Daniel’s button installed so you can click on his pic which will take you to the Angel Tree page of Reece’s Rainbow.  Just click on the link to see the Angels, scroll down to Daniel’s picture, and you can use the “donate” box to send him a tax deductible donation!  If your donation is $35 or more, you will be able to receive a beautiful Reece’s Rainbow ornament with Daniel’s picture on it for your tree.  Or you can decline the ornament (but I am totally getting one!).  ANY donation is greatly appreciated!

There are other ways to donate as well:

1. Send a check to Reece’s Rainbow (also tax deductible)

Reece's Rainbow
PO Box 4024
Gaithersburg, MD 20885

(Please make sure you mark the check for Daniel 2H)

2. Send cash or a check to me and I PROMISE to get it to Daniels’ account.  (I have the comments on moderate so leave me a comment with your e-mail and I will send you my address.)  The only drawback to this plan is that your donation will not be tax deductible.  But the money will still go to a WONDERFUL cause :).

Any way you’re able to donate, please let me know (leave me a comment or send me an e-mail) so I can give you a reward!  I’m trying to figure out how to do a give-a-way (hints are appreciated).

Thank You!!
