Alexander is a sweet boy with brown hair and eyes. He was born with Down syndrome and also struggles with epilepsy. He has strabismus as well. Alexander is described as affectionate and social.

From our Executive Director, Andrea Roberts regarding Alexander:

"So I was sharing with my 6-year old about our 5 year reunion/camping trip, and that he was going to get to meet some of our RR kids who have been adopted, and his eyes lit up and said "and Alexander!" And I said, "well, no, sweetie, Alexander hasn't found his family yet" And his smile turned to tears as he said "but I gave him my $6.50" ;(((((((((((((((( SOMEBODY PLEASE ADOPT THIS CHILD!"

He needs a family soon! If you would like more information on him or any of the other children, please contact us!

Alexander has $1021.5 currently in his adoption grant fund.

So, even if you aren't able to adopt a child presently, you can still help him find his forever family by donating towards his grant fund.

Sometimes Silence is a good thing.....

SHHHHHHHHH everyone keep your comments to yourself.... NOPE I don't give  a C$#@ what you think about every issue. Seriously, shut up already! Letting me know what you think about a situation in my life is really none of your business. Your opinion means nothing! So get to steppin! Mind your own business and worry about your life. Oh wait your life is "PERFECT" right, not!.............

ANNOYED!!! Yep that would be me! Ok my venting session is done. UNTIL manana!

Sometimes silence is a good thing! :)

I am totally balling after catching up on the Idol auditions.....One just touched my heart so deeply.

 I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. It was the last audition in New Orleans. Her name Paris...she has a special needs child. She was only 18 when she became pregnant. She found out her daughter would have hydrocephalus. She chose to keep her baby. She sang and oh my goodness...... it HIT my heart so intensely I could not stop crying. Her LOVE for her daughter is so amazing. Her VOICE so beautiful. I really hope she makes it through.

Wikipedia; Hydrocephalus, (pronounced /ˌhaɪdrɵˈsɛfələs/), also known as "water on the brain," is a medical condition in which there is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricles, or cavities, of the brain. This may cause increased intracranial pressure inside the skull and progressive enlargement of the head, convulsion, and mental disability. Hydrocephalus can also cause death. The name derives from the Greek words ὑδρο- (hudro-) "water", and κέφαλος (kephalos) "head".

What was your favorite performance? There were some others but this by far is my most favorite story and contender.

Have a great weekend!
Be safe!

Vilis

Boy, Born on April 12th, 2006

Vilis is a darling little boy who has light brown hair and blue eyes. Too cute! He was born with an oval window, but this may have closed on it's own already.

From an adoptive family who visited with him recently: Vilis is just darling! He is lagging behind, but not from lack of ability, just lack of opportunity and stimulation. I visited him and spent a good bit of time engaging him, he laughed and giggled, babbled some sounds…he is definitely in there and will really blossom in a loving family!! If there was some way for me to "add him to my tab", I'd do it right now. He is just aching for encouragement and challenge and praise. He really responded well to me with to toys and other stimuli. He is able to cruise the table, and I just know he will be up and walking very quickly once he is home. I was able to share some tips and techniques with the caregivers to include him in the activities of the others, to talk to him and play with him, that he WILL respond.

SINGLE MOMS, OLDER PARENTS,  LARGE FAMILIES WELCOME

I have $8430 in my grant fund towards the cost of my adoption!

Every little thing you do CAN MAKE a difference! 

I will NOT preach to you that you have an obligation to adopt these precious ORPHANS, I will NOT say you are a bad person if you choose to do nothing.

ALL I ask is to please take a few SECONDS to repost this. JUST a few seconds! Wouldn't it bring a smile to your face if you had some little part for saving a precious life of an orphan. :)


LOVE all of you! I hope you all are healthy and have a fantastic week.

A co-worker of mine reminded me that I am lucky......... that a bad day for me is nothing compard to some

It is so easy to fall in the trap of self loathing. Poor me... ugh my day sucks!.. This is the worse day ever mentality. Ugh Ugh Ugh....

I was having a bad day....  I am now working at a Cancer Center and she reminded me that I was lucky.

You are lucky....

to get out of bed unassisted
to feed yourself
to dress yourself
to drive yourself to work
to be healthy
to be loved
to be alive


WOW... that made me feel like crap! What a big baby I was... pouting about a hard day.  I looked at her and said YOU know I am LUCKY!

I really am!

I have wonderful CHILDREN! I have wonderful FAMILY! I have wonderful FRIENDS!


Geez Louise! It sometimes is so easy to find the NEGATIVE! That is something I am truly going to work on. Always looking at the light. Always finding the positive. Always taking a deep breath and smile.

Oh geez, I hate losing too but this ridiculous! UGH....

Losing is hard........ I know... however my lil' princess who is 5 is driving me up the wall! SHE can never lose or there is a complete meltdown. At first I catered to her and let her win. She would smile and say I was a loser. But there comes a time when they have to learn to be a good sport.....win or lose!

Playing tic tac toe in the car..... yep... not going to be good... I know it will be coming... the crying the throwing of the pens, COMPLETE with a migraine headache and that will be just me... anyways....


I draw the grid... let the princess go first...... X..... she says you put the O here ok...... So today was the day to start the lesson.......I put the O where I want to..... and whining begins.

"You are not suppose to put it there mom!!! You are blocking me....

Me:  Yep!

Lil' Princess:    MOM!!! I  can't win if you do that!

Me: Yep!

Lil' Princess: MOM, the next one you put it here!... she places the X.....

I BLOCK>>>>>>


TOTAL  meltdown!!! Total........ FREAK out!!!...

CRYING.......... screaming......

I say to her... well we can keep playing or we can stop.

Lil'Princess: .... I want to win!.... I will only play if I win!!!!

Me: OK well I guess game is over....



WAAAAAAHHHHH
WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
Tears galore...
