Do you want to know why...?

Do you want to know why I advocate for Artem and Oleg??? Well the answer to that is I feel God telling me to help the orphans that were born with special needs in Eastern Europe and to help Artem and Oleg! Do you want to know why it's Eastern Europe that I feel so strong about helping? The answer to that is because that's where God has called me to help! Do you know what happens to children that are born with special needs in Eastern Europe??? If a child is born with special needs such as Down Syndrome (which both Artem and Oleg are blessed with) in Eastern Europe their birth is not celebrated and they are not taken home with their mommy and daddy instead they are taken to an orphanage and they wait YEARS to be 'chosen' to be someones's little baby, to be someone's child, to be loved and adored, to be the little princess or prince of their OWN family, they wait years just to be given hope just to be chosen they don't care what the family looks like they don't even care if the family is 'perfect'! Do you feel called to help or adopt the orphans that are born with special needs and are waiting in Eastern Europe? Then please go to this website http://reecesrainbow.org/ please look at those sweet faces and ask God if you are called to adopt or advocate for one of them! These are the little sweetie's that I fell in LOVE with they are the ones that I adore but they need more than that they need a mommy and daddy to kiss them and hug them! Is one of these little cuties your son?

My sweet baby Artem (3 years old)

My little monkey boy Oleg (5 years old)

Someone please......

Someone please see that sweet Artem is your baby boy please see that he is so much more than a another child in another crib please see that he has value and worth! PLEASE someone see your SON in Artem! He needs a family soon before he is forgotten! Can you see this smiley boy in an institution? I sure can't! He is to sweet for words! Artem looks like he would make a GREAT addition to ANY family! Please someone see Artem's picture and know he is your son without even reading his information! He NEEDS you he needs a mommy, a daddy, and maybe even a brother and sister! Look at this smiley boy dosn't he just melt your heart? Don't you just want to jump through the screen and kiss those chubby cheeks? Look at those little hand's and finger's look into his eyes! Is he your baby boy?

A wake up call...

Yesterday I got a wake up call.

Take a look at each of these faces... look very carfully at each....



God sent them here for a purpose... A story to be written
But when they were born the doctors said "something is wrong" so Mommy and Daddy said goodbye

Their story put on hold untill a new Mommy and Daddy came to resuce them...
 
They waited and waited... They were hungry and cold... but they kept waiting.. Their hearts became tired and they started to get sick.... Every one their looked at them like nothing was wrong. Like they were worthless, nothing. They were the forgotten.
One day it all changed. Their Daddy came for them, just like He had promised.
And they went to a place, so beautiful and perfect. They were loved and will always be remembered.

Their story has been written... their lives were precious but they were forgotten... They will now be remebered forever!



"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me" ~Matthew 25:31



In loving memory of Olga, Erra, Shannon, Katarina, Margarita, Sergey, Will, Dulce, Mila, Alexander, Woody, Angela Maria, Alina, Dasha, Alison, Derek, Sandra, Ann Marie, and Dante (not all of the children are pictured) (all of these children were listed on Reece's Rainbow)

Another Angel.....

Another sweet angel has gained their wings!
Sweet baby Dante has gone to be with Jesus (he had a heart defect that needed medical care that he didn't get) he never knew what it felt like to be kissed goodnight by a mommy or hugged so tight by a daddy he didn't know what it was like to wrestle with a brother or dance with a sister! He didn't know what it was like to celebrate Christmas in a loving family or smash a birthday cake on his 1st Birthday! He didn't know what it was like to have any of that but now now he gets to do all of that and much more! Why? Cause he gets to spend all of his day with Jesus and Princess Sandra, Princess Ann Marie, and Princess Chrissie and he gets to wrestle with adorable Derek!  R.I.P sweet boy! You were loved and adored by many!

Dante Born July 6th 2009

Gained his Angel wings on February 12th 2011

EVERY CHILD!!!!!!!

(I got this from another blog)
Let me say this. EVERY child deserves a family, and why or how some people can think that only kiddos from the USA should be the ones that get them kinda makes me sick. All children deserve a family to love them and care for them. They deserve to be taken care of when they are sick, they deserve to be fed and clothed and loved. ALL of them, regardless of what country they live in. The last time I checked, kids that are in foster care here in the United States are not living the way kids around the world who are in orphanages are living. Here in the US, we do not put kids in mental institutes when they turn 4 or 5yrs.old because they have special needs like Down Syndrome.We do not let them lay in cribs without medical care until they die.  Here in the US we don't make them sit all day in a shed or bound them in their cribs so they can't climb out because we don't want to take care of them or because there are not enough people around to take care of them. Nor do we line them up in an assemble line for potty breaks.

 Micah, just transferred, afraid and alone.

They sit in empty rooms and sheds with nothing to do, day after lonely day, year after lonely year.

the shed where Aaron and 15 other boys spent most days. just sitting. doing nothing.

 bound tightly, day after day, night after night, so not to climb out of cribs

,

Children and adults laying in cribs without getting out and seeing the sun

Teenage boys using training pottys that my mom has for her daycare kids!

EVERY SINGLE CHILD in the world deserves a family of their own! NO child should be left alone and forgotten (yes some peole are called to adopt from the US I'm not saying that is bad I'm just saying what the children with special needs go through in Eastern Europe all children are Gods children and where ever you are called to adopt is what God wants you to do)

Have you seen?!?!

Have you seen Artem's little friend? Isn't he just adorable? He looks so sweet :) I don't think that thay can be adopted by the same family at the same time :( But they BOTH CAN be adopted by wonderful mommy's and daddy's in seperate familys! Please save one of these little boy's they need a "forever family" soon!

Letter to Orphans....

Borrowed this from HERE. Thanks Stephanie.
Dear little one,


I saw your photo today. You are so adorable! Your eyes are so deep and full of hope.

I love your little smile, I know it must be hard most days to find the strength to smile.

I have heard how little food you have, and that sometimes you have to share food with your friends.What a sweet and giving little person you are!

                             

            

.
But I am writing this letter to tell you that I will not be able to help you.

You see my family is happy with the life we are living.


                              

We already have four children and it would just be too much bother to the rest of our family to try and help you. I know that we could get bunk beds and you could share a room with one of our bio kids but really that is no life for either of you 

We have so much going on around here and life would be too chaotic to add another child to our family. We already have two children in dance classes and two that play sports.

I have a ladies night out next week and I have nothing to wear. I really need to purchase a new outfit. I guess I could sponsor you but it will have to wait until next month.

                                         

I really need that new outfit and my children are "dying" for some fast food tonight. Good luck to you and I hope that you will find your forever family soon!

Have a nice day from the "Jones family"
