Is There a Smile

...hiding in the heart of this sweet child?  I'm sure there is!  This is Albina. (Isn't she adorable?)  Look at her little face.  She needs someone to hug her and tell her she's perfect, and beautiful, and wanted....someone to help her find her smile.  She needs a family!

 

Albina is an orphan in Eastern Europe.  Simply because she was born with Down syndrome, she is considered a burden to her society, an outcast to be hidden away.  But she deserves so much more.  She deserves to come zooming down a slide and land in the arms of her very own Mama or Papa, like this little one.

And an anonymous donor has committed to matching dollar for dollar donations for Albina up to $5,000.  If you'd like to donate to her grant fund and also be entered in a drawing to win a Canon Rebel SLR Digital Camera, go here.  If you could be Albina's forever family, contact Reece's Rainbow.  

Let's get Albina home where she belongs :)!

A New Journey Begins

Spring is a time of renewal, growth and new life—the perfect time to begin anew.

And it just so happens that one of my favorite families is growing--both literally and figuratively--through adoption.

My sweet blogging friend Amy and her husband John are beginning their journey to Davis, a beautiful little boy with Down syndrome in an orphanage in Eastern Europe. 

Isn’t he the sweetest thing? He’s gonna steal some hearts with those big brown eyes, I am sure. Davis turns 4 this month (thank goodness, his family found him just in time). He’ll join siblings Josh (9), Anna (7) and Ben (4, Ds). 

Please stop by and show this awesome family some love!
