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.

It's a new Angel Tree people!

Today begins the Angel Tree for 2012. Last year I did not quite meet the goal to raise $1000 for Daniel's grant fund. I was going to let someone else take the reins on being Daniel's Warrior this year in hopes they would do a better job. But it was almost the last day to sign up and I couldn't stand him being without a Warrior so here I am again. I love this little boy. I would so love to see him in our family. Many families go back again, or again and again, to bring kids HOME. Our adoption of Dashlyn was so worth it, but it wore us out. Unless many things change for us, we won't be bringing more kids home. But I hope to encourage someone else to fall in love with Daniel, and go get him! So, I need to get his picture out there! I need to grow his grant fund! It's expensive to adopt, and every penny he already has makes it easier on his family. So please help. Add him to your prayers, donate whatever you can to his fund, spread the word about him, and give me fundraising ideas! I appreciate all of them. Coming soon - Daniel's new picture! Until then, here is a link to his Reece's Rainbow profile: http://reecesrainbow.org/469/daniel Go see him!
