Day 25: Brett Needs a Family… Forty to Forever…

Today at Forty to Forever we are seeking to help Brett find his forever family. He is reported to be a wonderful little boy with curiosity and seems to be learning well. And he does not seem to have let his CP limit him. A loving family will take him so very far in life. Please help grow his adoption grant, help share his story and pray for him.
Today’s Lent devotion shows us how when we fast or try to quit anything, which may be addictive, we not only struggle with it but our ugly side comes out. But help is merely a prayer away… have a read, think about and be kind today 😉 … syc

Brett is very smart and curious. He has some learning and language delays associated with institutional life, but he does speak in complete phrases around people he trusts. He enjoys cars, coloring, and games. He got very excited when we showed him pictures of dogs and other animals, so he might do well with pets.

His cerebral palsy limits his lower body, specifically his legs and feet, but he is very strong in the upper body and crawls very quickly.  He is a very active kid who needs some physical therapy, appropriate equipment, and perhaps braces to get where he needs to for walking.

Brett is being advocated for by Jen.  She says……

Binkley FamilyMeet Sam and Michelle Binkley.  They are adopting a sweet 13 year old girl named Olivia.  And she has been waiting for a family for a LONG time. Orphans who are older and going to age out of the system within a few years have a particular need to find families and be rescued from the bleak fate that awaits them when they are turned over to the streets.  Thankfully for Olivia, she will not have to face this reality and instead will know the love of a family.  Olivia  particularly enjoys math, literature, reading & singing. And the Binkley family is so excited that God chose to bless them with the privilege of being her family!  Here is their story:

“We were married in 1999. We have three biological children: Abby (age 12), Jack (age 10) and Ben…
