Adoption

OKay. Anyone that knows me will tell you, I'm practically Ellie Mae Clampet. If it were up to me, I'd take in every stray animal and orphaned child in the WHOLE world. Now obviously, that is just not possible. So since alot of you started reading this because of your interest in adoption, I thought I'd take an opportunity to tell you about 2 very special orphans who are desparately looking for a home. I won't do this very often, just when someone tugs at my heart strings. I figure if I tell you and you tell someone and that someone tells someone, who knows? Maybe these guys can find a 'forever home'.

Little guy #1: His name is Naum. He lives in an orphanage in the Ukraine. He was born with 1 extra chromosome. (He has Down Syndrome) He also has clubbed feet. (s/b Correctable in the US) He is 3 years old and at the ripe old age of 4, he will be sent to a mental institution. I wish you could see his picture. Oh my, what a spark this kid has. Those blue eyes just twinkle and he has a shaggy head of brownish-blonde hair. He reminds me of Sawyer. (Now you know why he tugs at my heart)

Little guy #2: His name is Louinard. He lives in an orphanage in Haiti. You really need to see his picture to fully appreciate how special he is. He has a very regal presence about him. By the way, he, too, has Down Syndrome.

So those two are the ones I've chosen to tell you about. There are literally hundreds of thousands of children throughout the US and the world who need a family to call their own. I hope you will tell others or sponsor an orphan (Many worthy programs exist) or maybe consider adoption for your family. Just wanted to share.
