Family of the Month

I haven't done a new family of the month in a while and will be choosing a one soon, but one of our previously featured families is hoping to travel at the end of this week to pick up their boys. They are still about $3500 short. PLEASE SHARE and PRAY and GIVE if you can! Jensen's adoption absolutely MUST be completed before his 14th birthday in early August. His country's rules are very firm about this. If she gets there even one day too late, there will be NO adoption and he will age-out as an orphan. Jensen also has a brother, Jack, who is in dire need of medical attention and proper care, who will be coming home with him as well. Let's not make them wait another week. We are trusting that God is setting these boys in their family and will supply the needs for her to get there in time, but God is in the business of working through His people and so we ask His people to help us fight for Jack and Jensen's lives!

Aging-Out Children

These young men and women have only a short time left before they age-out of the system and can no longer be adopted. For many of them they need a family already in process to be able to make the deadline. If you or family you know is in process for an international adoption please consider if you might be able to make one of these children your own.

There is a desperate need for more families to come forward who are ready to adopt older children. In a family they could learn and grow and thrive. Left in the system they face either lifetime institutionalization in mental facilities with menial care or being thrown out on the streets with no education, no money, no family or friends, and no where to go. With no life skills they are easy prey for human trafficking and often resort to prostitution and theft as a way of life. Many will choose suicide. But today it is not too late for them. If you can not offer them a place in your family, could you help another family do the same by partnering with them financially?

For more information on any of these children, please click on their picture or go to www.reecesrainbow.org.

(If you are interested in adopting an older child without special-needs, please let me know. I can get you in contact with other advocates that have more information.)
