Rest In Peace


Sweet child, are you really happy up there? 
Is it like they said it'd be?
I keep wondering what you're doing now;
can you hear or see me?




What is it like?
Are bells ringing?
Are streets made of gold? Are angels singing?


 Are you living in ecstasy?
Wish I could know you're very happy and 
when I miss you then I'll always know
Our Angel's back in heaven.




Rest in peace, sweet children.


Each of these Reece's Rainbow children has passed away this year. The bottom row had families coming to rescue them, but they just couldn't get there quickly enough. 

When we say "rescue mission", make no doubt, that is what these adoptions are. It is a race against the clock, a fight against the odds, a desperate ransom paid to save innocent lives before they are taken from this earth.

Families adopting need your support to complete these missions. The children cannot wait. There days are numbered, and FAMILY is their only chance of survival.


Perhaps the greatest example of a rescue mission is in one little girl's amazing story:

3-year-old Carrington was rescued just about two months ago. Upon leaving the orphanage, her parents were horrified to remove her clothing and find an emaciated, 11-pound body on the brink of death. I encourage everyone to read her story. Watch the miracle unfold, because it is TRULY a miracle that she is here today, not only surviving, but growing and thriving.

This post is so important for those who are not adopting to see, so I hope you don't mind that I am linking it in a post of my own.
