Time for another important one

This is "Arthur".

This is what the Reece's Rainbow website has to say about "Arthur", an Eastern European orphan with Down syndrome:

Boy, Born March 1, 2008

Arthur is a little chunk! Doing so well, and so young. And look at his little peach fuzz on top! :) We are so glad the officials have eliminated the requirement for our children to wait 14 months before being adopted!! Arthur is doing great! He does have a minor heart condition, anomalous chord in the left heart ventricle, but can be followed by a cardiologist when he gets home. Arthur is at the perfect age for early intervention services and ease of transition into a family!

From one of our adoptive families who visited with him in May 2009: " I believe this is Arthur. He was just the most pitiful thing. His face needed to be cleaned and I wanted to wash him off so bad! He was sitting up on his own it looked like, but he was super quiet. He was fascinated with my camera but was so pitiful and didn't have much to smile about. :( He looked like a little lover baby that needed some good cuddling. I wanted to hold him so badly. He needs a family to give him the affection he needs! "

Does this break your heart? Enough to do something? Please pray for these children. I know that we are all pinching pennies these days, but please consider visiting the Reece's Rainbow website and donating money to a particular child's adoption fund. Arthur has $0 right now. Anna, the little girl I wrote about in an earlier post has $45! Every little bit helps.

Some of you may be planning to help us celebrate Asher's birthday. If you are planning to bring a gift, please consider donating to Reece's Rainbow in honor of Asher. Whatever you decide just know that we have been blessed beyond our need. And Asher has been blessed with a multitude of people who love him. How could we ask for more? :)
