who doesn't need joy like this in their life?

Josie appears to be one of the most joyful faces on Reece's Rainbow right now.  Have you thought about adopting?  Would Josie fit in your family?  Think about it...pray about it...do something about it!

God is so good!

I just found out that Phoebe has a family!!!  Remember this sweet face?





PRAISE GOD!!!!

That's how much it cost to send our first packet to the country that shall not be named!  Do you understand why it's so important to fundraise for adoptions now?  I sure do!

Fundraising is something that is very difficult for me.  As most of you know I am in sales and have a marketing degree so asking people to spend money isn't too hard for me...when it's my job and I have a product in exchange.  Adoption fundraising is tough!  I feel like I am asking people to give me money and I have nothing to give in return.  However my heart has realized something: this is the ultimate in advertising!  

Reece's Rainbow doesn't have much (if any) budget for advertising.  Essentially they rely on adoptive families to do it for them through blogging, t-shirt sales, garage sales, auctions, etc.

God calls His followers over and over to care for His orphans and widows.  The statistics are amazing....if 10% of American families who call themselves Christians would adopt 1 child this year we would give more than 1 million orphans homes.  What a calling!  What a cause to fundraise for!

So we will fundraise.  My prayer is that each of you will consider the things we do for fundraisers and maybe give up a cup of coffee to help us out if you feel compelled.  If you want to help another RR kid please do so!  I don't want to limit your ability to help God's children!  How about these cuties?

Phoebe: One of my favorites.  She is beautiful!



Vilis: Has a HUGE grant right now, and is part of RR's 555 Warrior Project.  The goal is to raise another $5,000 for him!

How I wish I could add them to my family.  But if one of you, my wonderful readers, decides to bring them home I commit to help you fundraise!  

won't you help?

This Reece's Rainbow Angel, Albina, has an awesome opportunity to grow her adoption fund.  For every dollar donated during the month of May a wonderful woman called "Mrs. B" is going to match...up to $5,000!!!  That means she will have about half of what it takes to adopt internationally in her fund!  Won't YOU give up a cup of Starbux this week and help?  If you aren't able to help will you at least post a link on your blog?

What about any of the rest of the Reece's Rainbow kids? Are any of them on your heart?
