New Kids on Just Needing A Family’s Love…

You heard the good news; Jason has a family coming for him and of course last year we had the sad news that Jasper aged out. While i will always be praying for these boys (just like i pray for all the orphans we had previously advocated for), we need to move forward and help more precious children. So we have 2 new orphans we are advocating for and praying for. We, meaning my boy and i and you too!

Meet DEAN!

12 year old Dean needs a family to help him make the most of life.
12-year-old Dean needs a family to help him make the most of life.

Dean was brought to the institute when he was 5. He is now 12 years old. His special need is listed as mental delays which makes his exact condition unclear and i believe this may be what is stopping families from jumping in and committing to giving him a home. He has learnt much since being at the institute. He has good self-care skills and can even help with simple chores. Dean is described as an introverted child who gets along well with the other children at his institute and at school.

Whatever his specific need might be, it is clear that with a loving family around him and the right tools available to him, he will go far. He needs people who believe in him, he needs to find his people!

And you can help that caring family find him; you can share Dean’s story and need for a family. You can pray for him and for a family to step forward for him asap.

You can also help grow his adoption grant. Because of his “mental delays”, he is likely to be overlooked for domestic adoption within his country. So an expensive international adoption would be his best chance for a family to call his own. This grant which Reece’s Rainbow has opened for him will help the family who comes for him to reach him faster and make finances less of an obstacle to Dean getting a family.

Meet CAROLINE!

Caroline is 12 and wants a family to call her own.
Caroline is 12 and wants a family to call her own.

Caroline also come into institutional care when she was about 5 years old. She is now 12 years old. She has Cerebral Palsy which affected her lower legs. After a surgery in 2013, she has been able to walk with only a slight limp. In school, she is just a little bit behind her peers because she had no early education before coming into care. Caroline is described as very easy-going with a positive attitude about everything she does.

Doesn’t she sound lovely? All she is lacking to make the most of life is a loving family who can help her to get all the possible care she needs and to show her that family means standing with each other.

You can help Caroline find her forever family! Share her story and her need for a caring family. You can pray for her and her family to step up for her asap.

You can also help grow her adoption grant. Like most special needs orphans in her country, she is considered an outcast and will unlikely be chosen for domestic adoption. An expensive international adoption might be the way to a forever family for her. Reece’s Rainbow’s adoption grant will enable a family to face a lesser financial hurdle when considering Caroline’s adoption.

There you are – 2 lovely children in need of wonderful families to help them navigate life better and to shine like the little stars they are.

Please join us in advocating for DEAN and CAROLINE, as well as praying for their daily needs and for a family for each of them.

You can click on their names or pictures to find out more. You can like my FB page, Just Needing A Family’s Love, to follow along and take part in fundraisers and other events for these precious kiddos.

Thank you.

JASON has a family!… It’s official!…

My last post about JASONĀ in May told you that he was on a hosting program and would be with an American family in the US for the summer. i asked for prayers for him for a good host family and a wonderful experience, most of all, i asked that you pray that this hosting will lead to a forever family for him.

Well, it did!

Praise the Lord!

See those sweet words "My Family Found Me" :D
See those sweet words “My Family Found Me” šŸ˜€

And i have known now for a number of weeks that a family has been trying to get pre-approval for JASON. It is now official! They are on their way, as fast as they can get the paperwork processed.

Please continue to pray for Jason and his new family. Pray for a smooth, hassle-free paper-chase which will be completed in time. Pray that the Lord prepares Jason‘s heart for his very own family!

Thank you for being a part of JASON‘s journey to a forever family.

Stay tuned for the start of another journey with 2 more orphans who need our voices.

Orphan of the Month for September… Angel Crafts Shop…

It’s time for a brand new Orphan of the Month on Angel Crafts Shop.

i am so excited to introduce to you LUCINDA!

Lucinda is 11 and has mild Cerebral Palsy. However, her medical condition does not seem to have affected her movements too much. There is a video of her walking and climbing stairs, maybe she has a slight limp. She is an active child who also loves reading, solving puzzles and drawing. She wears glasses – doesn’t she just look adorable in them? – and has some problems with expressive language but still manages to communicate well. There are concerns about some dental issues.

It would seem to me that all her medical needs are minor and very manageable. All she needs now is a loving family who believes in her and who is able to show her all the world has to offer. Ā However, because of her orphan status and her listed medical condition, she is likely to be overlooked and disregarded in her country’s domestic adoption system. So her chance for a forever family is likely to lie in an expensive international adoption.

This is where you can help. Reece’s Rainbow has opened an adoption grant for her but it is currently at ZERO! i would like to get that to at US$50.00 by the end of September. Help me grow Lucinda‘s adoption grant!

All you have to do is stop by Angel Crafts Shop, make a purchase and 50% of that purchase price goes to Lucinda‘s adoption grant. So come shopping! Remember i do custom orders!

Please click on Lucinda‘s name or picture to find out more about her. Do pray for her daily needs and most of all, for a caring family to step up for her.

Thank you.
