I have been dreaming of adopting an orphan for my whole life, I think. Like some girls dream of having children, I dreamed of adopting children. I always wanted children, just not the regular way ;) Well life happened and God, in his mercy and amazing plan decided different. I am mother to 3.5 amazing kids, .5 is the one in the oven often kicking me while I blog. I have had them all the regular way...biologically. As a matter of fact, in August of 2010, I found RR through a friend of a friend that had a yard/bake sale to bring a precious daughter home. I just knew God was about to send us on a road toward adoption... Um, no... God had a different plan and I ended up pregnant. Ok, God, your will, not mine. But it still did not change that I loved these sweet children and soon I was following a handful of blogs. One sweet girl that caught my eye early on was "Lesia", oh in her referral picture she had these cute "pumpkin eyes" like my oldest and I was drawn to her, I found out she had a family and I started following that blog to see her get a family. That led to another blog and another.
Now, move forward to a few weeks ago.This is where my advocacy comes in... I saw on a blog that a couple was in Eastern Europe going through the process to get their daughter. They went to her orphanage and found out she had a best friend, an orphan boy and they had been together most of their life. They decided to see what they could do about adopting him as well. Read their blog here for all the amazing details. They start to talk about bringing him home as well and pray. They knew it would cost more for all the things they needed to do to get him home, tickets, documents, court fees, just stuff that costs money. Anyway, in their journey to bring him home, they looked at his grant fund and in it was just the amount of money they would need to cover all the extra costs. Did you read that? All the money that they would need to cover his costs was in his account at Reece's Rainbow. There, waiting for him to find a family, waiting for his family to use, waiting for this miracle. Now a precious little boy gets to go home to a family with his friend. He gets to stay with his best friend and continue to live as brother and sister... forever. A forever family.
So that is why I have taken on the challenge to be Bennett's warrior. Because someone may feel their heart called to him, they may see his need for a family, and there in his account at RR may be just what they need to help bring him home, to a family.
Now here it is again... my big button! Click it and donate to Bennett's fund... A little gift for his mom and dad... I am praying for them too, that they will find him soon. Whoever they are, where ever they are. God knows and I am praying!
