We're going to look into foster-adopting for now, but ultimately, I hope one day to tell of our own rescue mission to Eastern Europe. In the meantime, it's wonderful to be able to help out families that are on their journeys now. Small financial donations really add up! And prayer supports it all.

Money doesn't have to be an obstacle. <br /><br />Lena, I read on one family's site that the orphanage (in Ukraine) gave the family the children's baptismal certificates and a cross when they left! So, at least a good portion of these children have been baptized. :) And, many of the countries and regions allow adoption by single moms. :)Leila@LittleCatholicBubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357573787143230160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-72501155496536111022012-03-11T20:03:52.197-07:002012-03-11T20:03:52.197-07:00Dear Lelila,
Hi! Remember me? This is Maria There...Dear Lelila,<br /><br />Hi! Remember me? This is Maria Therese from Facebook, but you can call me Maria. I heard about Reese's Rainbow from another Catholic friend and find myself checking out the website often. I would LOVE so much to adopt one of these children. I am not sure Hubby and I can afford traveling to another country though - we simply don't have the $$$$ (Hubby tells me this every day). Also right now we don't have the room (If I had the $$$ and thought it was possible, I would make roomn! We live in a very small condo and right now the 2nd small bedroom is filled with all the stuff I took from my Mom's house when we got married.). I will share with you though that my arms and heart ache to be a Mommy. I think of how much I want to be a Mommy every day. Like tonight I visited our neighbor next door who is a single Mama and her 4 year old son asked me to sing him a song before going to bed so I did. I kept thinking "I so wish I had my own kid to sing a song too, kiss goodnight, and tuck in every night". Every night for Lent I have been praying the rosary, Divine Mercy, and novena to St. Gianna Beretta Molla asking for a child! Reading about these children who want a Mommy and Daddy so bad breaks my heart! How I wish I could adopt them all! Trying to figure out a way!<br /><br />These precious children are all in my thoughts and prayers!<br /><br />Love,<br />MariaMaria https://www.blogger.com/profile/01620122996830327060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-240447238522390484.post-40417881974058445322012-03-11T19:23:29.730-07:002012-03-11T19:23:29.730-07:00Loneliness is painful.

They have to do EVERYTHING - homestudy, INS, dossier, EVERYTHING - before this boy turns 16 and they just started last week. If they file everything before April 30th they will hold the boy until they get there this summer. He is in a special needs school/orphanage because he was born with amniotic band syndrome and the disability from that is fingers on each hand are deformed/missing. That is his only disability. He plays soccer, is a good student, learning English... And he desperately wants a family. This family stepped out in faith to rescue this GREAT kid. Right now there is a MATCHING FUND fundraiser going on for him. A donor is going to match all donations to his RR grant up to $2000. This goes until April 4th. Please help this family who hasn't had the time to fundraise or ask for help that many families have had. This boy NEEDS this family.
