Braska Bear

See her?  Isn’t she cute?  Her name is Braska !  Mommy just found out that she got her name because of me!  She needs to find a mommy and daddy to bring her home!  She lives far away on the other side of the world.  And it costs A LOT of money to go and get her.  Since she is my name buddy now, we’re going to see if YOU wanna help us find her a family! You can go here to read more about her.   Can you give her a little bit of dollars so she can come home soon??  And maybe someday I can meet her and play.  That would be great! (Mommy note:  The kiddos on Reece’s Rainbow are listed with names other than their birth names for privacy and safety reasons.  A dear friend who I know through the beauty of the DS community happened to have the privilege of picking the name for this little one.  She said her given name in her country was similarish to Braska’s full name, so it just seemed to fit! And I think that’s ve...

Remember how we have been waiting for Jack’s new little sister to come home?  Well she’s not home yet, but very soon!  Miss Julie and Mr. Allan got to go over to where she lives and meet her, and the people there said she is all theirs now!  So her real name is Dashlyn now!  Isn’t that exciting?!?  Isn’t she just the prettiest little poonchin!?! She’s gonna be my new BFF, and I can’t wait until she can come play at my house.  Mommy says she is gonna be part of my Christmas present this year, and I think that is the best present ever!  I’m gonna show her how to do her hair pretty with bows and how to say funny things and how to wear the cutest little outfits and how to walk like a big girl.  I know about that stuff, you know.  We’re going to have SO much fun!  Go over to her blog and see lots more pictures and read the stories about her playtimes with her new mommy and daddy.

We’re gonna go to eat at Chevy’s on Saturday.  Wanna know why??  See what Mommy says next.  Dashlyn is Jack’s new sister and she’s gonna be my new best girlfriend!  I can’t wait til she’s home and can come play with us! __________________________ If you’re anywhere near St. Charles, Missouri… OR if you’re willing to COME to St. Charles, there’s a great reason to eat at Chevy’s this coming Saturday, October 23.    There will be a fundraiser for Dashlyn’s adoption fund at Chevy’s on Saturday, October 23, ALL DAY!  What do you need to do?  Just come and eat at Chevy’s !  That’s it! They will donate 20% of your bill to Dashlyn’s fund.  YAY! This is valid at the St. Charles location on Veteran’s Memorial Parkway, near Zumbehl and I-70. (And you need a little mini-flyer thing to give them for verification… click here to be able to print one . Don’t forget to take it with you!)  If you have any trouble, drop me an emai...

Mommy and I are trying to tell lots of people about Zoe. She lives far away and doesn't have a mommy and daddy. Mommy told about her more on her blog , so you can go read about it there. Her birthday is almost the same as mine! Grab This Button Grab This Button From the Reece’s Rainbow site: ~Beautiful blonde hair and a glowing personality. She is healthy , with no heart condition. She is fully functional...walking, active, many words, able to eat and dress with minimal assistance, and an orphanage favorite. ~She is facing the institution, please consider adopting Zoe! ~More photos available, please inquire. ~We have many children waiting in this same orphanage who can be adopted together. Children in this orphanage are not held much past the age of 4, so we need a family quickly. Here's what we want to ask you... 1. Prayerfully consider if Zoe might be waiting for YOU specifically. Do you have a place in your family for her? You may not feel you have much to offer, but is a f...

Guess what Mommy told me???  Jack’s gonna get a new sister!  She’s already born , so she’s not in Miss Julie’s tummy, but she lives far away, so they have to go get her and bring her home.  Grab This Button <a href="http://smithadoptionfun.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x198/wish4rk/dashlynbutton1-tiny.jpg" /></a><br/><a href="http://smithadoptionfun.blogspot.com/">Grab This Button</a><br/> We are really happy about this because I’m gonna get a new friend to see ALL the time, just like when I get to see Jack ALL the time!  We’re going to have SO much fun!  Me and KiKi and Dashlyn are gonna do all kinds of fun things together, and we’ll let Jack play with us too, of course.  But think of how cute us three girls are gonna be in all our pink!  Miss Julie likes pink, so we are going to make sure Dashlyn has lots of it, don’t you worry.  Me ...

I don’t post all of these, though I sometimes feel I should, because it is overwhelming how many children need to be adopted and saved. But Mindy will be transferred on Saturday to an institution where she can no longer be adopted, where most children like her do not survive over a year. She is a HEALTHY little girl in Russia, turning 4, with Down syndrome. She will be sent to a mental institution with very little care or interaction, if any at all. It seems like it’s too late. Today is Thursday.  She has two days left. Please Grab This Button! It seems like I have to give up, yet my God is big enough to do anything.  Maybe He will protect her while she is at the institution. Maybe He will take her home to Heaven where she will be able to enjoy perfect love and no fear.  But MAYBE, just maybe, YOU are meant for her.  Maybe SHE is meant for YOU. Maybe YOU are meant to bring her home and love her like crazy.  Maybe it’s YOU that she’s been waiting for. She...
