My Room: Beautiful Decorations

Today I'm feeling a bit like the little energizer bunny! God's blessed me with a healthy family today, and I thank Him so much for that!  We were able to make sugar cookies together, and I even got the chance to make some of party mix from my Grammy's recipe.  So good!  :)
I put the little ones down for their nap around 2 pm, and I just now realized I've forgotten to eat lunch myself! ;)  (lol random)  Anyways. after finally getting them to sleep I went into my bedroom and just felt SO excited to read my devotions, and to have that "me and God time"!  Because sadly I haven't been very good at keeping up with that daily, it's more like a once a week thing for me anymore, and I've learned to hate it!  I've had this desire and crave to get closer to the Lord recently, and I absolutely LOVE it!   Before I could pick up my devotion book though, I looked up on the chest in my room, and saw precious baby Lina's picture in her "LOVE" frame I bought her.  It reminded me that I need to pray more often for her, then I thought about all the other precious little ones I am a prayer warrior for, I ran down the stairs and grabbed a small paper package of photo's I had printed out months ago. I managed to find some tape then I ran back up to my room and began working on a beautiful creation.  It now hangs right over my head whenever I lay down in my bed, or like now, I can glance at it and smile.

Here it is..

My had made collage of photo's of just a couple of babies that have completely stolen my heart! I do my best at praying daily for them.  I pray that God will protect them and take care of them while He helps me find their forever families that I KNOW are out there some where!  And I pray they will find their babies and listen to God's calling to them.  <3 <3 <3 

This photo is probably familiar looking to any of my steady followers.  These four top photo's where in my last header, the photo's mean "I HEART LINA" and that couldn't be more true!  I LOVE her sooo much!  It's hard to really even put it into words, I really can't describe my love her for this precious little baby doll orphan. <3   She's my main mission, she's the center of it all!  I've got a facebook prayer page for her and everything. Go HERE to "LIKE" her page and get more recent updates and help spread her name ALL around the world, until that one very special family finds her and brings her home, forever.

Here's a close up of the whole collage.  I'm missing a few kiddies though, so I'm going to get their photo's printed out and hung up on the wall too.  There are three kids that are not listed on RR, two are listed on Little Flower Projects and one is on another is listed on a site I can't share, but I will tell you that she's special to me too and I will always keep her in prayer. :)  Lina, Doug, Galina, Summer, Mark, Henry, and Rose are all listed on Reece's Rainbow. :)  

And even on my desktop background, there is my sweet Lina girl! Just waiting for a forever family to come to her rescue!  <3 

This collage is a good idea to help remind you of the child you are a warrior.  Thanks for reading and feel free to share!  :) 

Now I'm off to go grab some lunch and read my devotions!  By the way, hope you like the new blog look! It's refreshing to me.

Sunshine Baby Sunny-girl

I've fallen again.  Completely in love with another precious sunshine baby orphan.  Yes, I am crazy, but I think everyone knows that by now. Lol.  God's given me a desire to help His children and that just what I do.   

This little one's name is Sunny!  She has Down syndrome and is a DOLL BABY!!  One thing that draws me so close to this baby is that she reminds me SO much of my baby sister, Olivia.  I can't imagine my little sister being an orphan. Never feeling love ever.  Or kisses.  Or hugs.  NONE of that.  It blows my mind.   And I really feel a connection with this girl!  God put her on my heart so she will now be a baby I blog and pray about. <3 <3 <3  She's special!  

 

Sunny :) 

INFORMATION FROM REECE'S RAINBOW : 

Girl,

August 2011

Down syndrome; Heart murmur, hydrothorax, umbilical hernia, hemogioma on the nose

Sweet Sunny had a domestic family pursuing her adoption, but it wasn’t completed.  She’s relisted, and looking for her forever family!

From one of our adoptive families who met her in October 2012:  Saw “Sunny” today and she is just a peach!   Beautiful sweet girl and the nannies seem to love her.

When I first met Sunny in June of 2012 I was picking cherries with my kids and spotted a little girl in an outside crib with her back to me. Thought nothing of it and kept picked cherries. Then I herd a little voice say “Mama” clear as day and turned in that direction to find it to be that same little girl, Sunny. This time she was facing me. She had literally turned herself around and did a belly crawl across the crib facing me calling out “Mama”. I got the pleasure of seeing her here again in October of 2012. She is precious as ever. I just met her after a nap in her little roller chair with her adorable pouty face. Her and I pointed and counted fingers together. She is such a precious little girl and so very smart and is loved by the nannies at her school and I firmly believe she will flourish in a family having a mama and papa to call her own.

The Very First

I had just discovered ReecesRainbow.org, by my mother who was asking for prayers for a family that was preparing to adopt through their organization. . My mom always had a prayer request time after our devotions.  At the time I remember sitting in our sofa nearly in tears because of my small defect in my heart that I had earlier that month discovered I would need surgery for. I was having one of my "spells" (It was SVT, my heart would speed up and race and random times and the just drop back to normal after an hour or so) After I felt better, I got online and went onto the Reece's Rainbow website to see for myself the children my mom was telling me about.   I wanted to help a child.  But then I thought that one word.  How.  How could I help an orphan that is overseas in an orphanage?  I was just a girl new to the teenage world.  Then I stumbled onto a blog, and now a good friend of mine, Bree's blog.  She was raising awareness for a little girl by blogging and sharing about her. It was like God put the answer right in front of me.  I decided that would be the best idea!  Though I lacked in my knowledge of vocabulary and spelling.  I still went with it and hoped for the best and tried really hard to improve in my weak areas of writing. (I'm still not the greatest, as you can see in my posts.)  
Later I went on Reece's Rainbow again, after creating "Saving a Little Life with the Love of Jesus Christ" blog and looked for a special child that would speak to my heart and I would have a special connection with.  

It wasn't long at all before I found a stunning little angel with a gorgeous grin that could light up the world.  Her smile was the very first thing that drew me to her. Her name was Sonya  She was so different, and just outstanding all together.  And then I took time to read her information, I then discovered she had Down syndrome.  I'd actually never really heard about Down syndrome until my mother had explained it to me earlier that day.  Then she seemed extra special to me!  I kept reading and found out she had heart issues. I can't remember exactly what, but I think I remember it say that she needed to find a family so she could have the surgery she needed to help her. At that moment I knew that was the child I was going to help save.  

I remember just pondering on the thought.  How could she not have a family to love and protect her?  Give her the things that she needs so desperately.  Make her feel like a princess like most little girls around her age.  Or even knowing that feeling that someone loves you so much.

And so I began blogging on this precious girl, making her the center of my mission.  I didn't officially become her Prayer Warrior or Orphan Warrior, I don't believe.  I think she had about 3 others helping her as well that I learned about later on in the process of advocating her.

I blogged and prayed my heart for Sonya for about 5 months before finding out that she had found her forever family.  

I got in contact with her soon-to-be forever mommy and daddy, Amy & John Hinz.     I was so happy to talk to them and be a part of their journey to bringing her home with her soon-to-be brother, Dusty whom they were also adopting.


Today Sonya is living her happily ever after as an orphan no more with the entire Hinz family!  She celebrates her second birthday with her family, she turns 7 years old!!!  I can't believe it! 

I couldn't have chosen I better family for her! She is extremely happy where she is from what I can see. She truly is a down right perfect baby! :)

I am so thankful the God put Sonya in my life, she made me a better person, and made me closer to God.  She's a blessing to me.

I hope you have a fabulous 7th Birthday with your forever family Sonya!  I love you dearly and hope to meet you face to face one day and hold you in me arms. 

Lina's Giveaway Fund

Last night I discovered some heartbreaking news about my Lina.  She was transferred from the hospital that was treating her to the terrible orphanage.  Where she DOES NOT GET THE CARE SHE NEEDS.   I found out she weighs only 8 POUNDS and 8 OUNCES! And she's 17 months old!  She's looks sicker and thinner than ever!  She's pathetic!  The orphanage is so awful!  They feed her only the minimum to let her survive.   If she doesn't find a family soon she won't live.   

It's time for every prayer warrior to get on their knees and pray for this girl who's near death!  She doesn't have a voice to use to cry for help, we do!  WE ARE LINA'S VOICE. We're her only chance. 

I've created a new facebook page for her.  CLICK HERE to go "like" and visit her page with lot's of information and updates.  It's my mission to find her a family, I need everyone's help and prayers!  She needs us! I committed to this and I will keep my promise to help her until she's in the arms of her forever family!  

READ THIS: I have put up a red "CHIPIN" box on the right side bar at the very top.  I am raising money to buy a big ticket item to hold a giveaway for Lina.  I am sixteen and jobless so I need everyone's help to make this possible.  If everyone could donate just $5 each we could get enough to afford and Ipod touch, laptop or ipad!  

Thanks so much for taking your time to read this! 

Please donate if you can, if only a dollar.  It will make a differences.  I can't tell you I have something you'll win in return but you will be helping save Lina's life.  That's a glorious prize I would give anything for. <3 <3 <3

Dear Lina

My dearest little Lina, you've been on my mind so much lately.  Along with Doug, Henry, Tabitha, Mark, Sadie, Colleen, Summer, Rose, Kinsey & Galina.   Everywhere I go and everything I do, I'm reminded of you and the others.  I'm living life as "normal" as a girl junior high-school,  home-schooled teenager, oldest of a big family can.  While all of you just sit in the orphanage just longing to have what SO MANY people (including myself) take for granted.  I hear I love you at least once a day by my family and friends, but you've never even heard it once from someone whose really meant it!  And you're just a sweet innocent little baby girl!   You've never done anything thing wrong to deserve what you've been given to live with.  Which is basically nothing at all.   Like I'm constantly telling myself and others, I know God has a plan for you and you're no mistake!  You are a true God given blessing!   He made you for a very special purpose.  I know so.  I believe that one day God will lead a family to you.  They'll not only want you but they'll need you.  You'll change lives Lina!  I know this because in just the short time I've "known" you, You've changed mine.  You've made me a better person.  Each one of you precious little orphans that I feel God has led me to.  You make me smile.  Every single time I look at that gorgeous face God made you.  You're a beautiful darling!  I have your picture in a frame that says "LOVE" on it.  I see it every day.  It reminds me to pray for you constantly.  And every time I think my life's "bad" I think of yours and kick myself for even being complaining and being so selfish.   My mom has even fallen in love with you too, we both are praying hard for you "my" little girl.

I know you can't read this letter right now, Lina but I know that maybe one day you're future mommy and/or daddy will be able to read all my letters to you.  And you can see that someone loved you when you thought no one did.    I always have and always will my sweet girl.    Stay strong and keep your head held high.  God loves you and so do I.

Your Prayer Warrior for Life,

Kaitlyn

Yes...I cried writing this.

Bittersweet to See, Tabitha Growing So Fast...

This is a bittersweet post to write.  It's about my dear sweet Tabitha.   I've gotten brand new pictures of her! I'm so excited to see them & have more of her, but then again I'm not that happy at all to write that she's still waiting.  This still isn't a "Tabitha's on the MFFM page!"

This means she's still waiting cold & alone in the orphanage.    She'll be three next May.  And my goal is to make sure she ISN'T still listed on RR!  She has to be on the MFFM page. New commitments,   or in a wonderful blissful home with her forever family.

I've watched this little angel girl from baby to toddler, wondering why she hasn't been rescued from the awful orphanage.   I pray so hard for her.  I know God has a plan and reason for everything but I sure wish His plan would be Tabitha getting adopted SOON!!  She's too beautiful to be wasting away..

Take a look at her past and current pictures


I've seen her as a tiny little baby..

A little infant..

Getting older...

Learning how to crawl..

Sitting up by herself!!!

And here are her most recent pictures!  All grown up, toddler Tabi! <3 

She's so precious!!  Her eyes are like sparking diamond and her smile is PRICELESS! <3 <3 <3

She's just longing for a forever family.  She's too pretty for words!!  She needs a FOREVER FAMILY!!!!!!  

Can you do me a favor and pray hard that "my" little girl, Tabi, will find her forever family before she turns three years old.  I know there is someone out there who not only wants her but needs her.   If everyone could just please put her in your prayers I think we'll see Tabitha finally with her forever family.  God doesn't FAIL.  He does EVERYTHING but fail!  Tabitha isn't a mistake.  She's a miracle, a blessing from God himself.  He made her for a special purpose.  She does matter.  And I don't just think that.  I know that.  

Tabitha currently has $1,908.60 in her grant on Reece's Rainbow.  That's not a bad number at all.  I'd help anyone and do anything to help raise money to bring her home to her family.  (Whoever "they" are.)   If you're able please considering donating a couple dollars to her grant.  Just CLICK HERE to go to her profile on RR. 

God bless you 

Over $200 for Lina!

I haven't checked Lina's donation account in a while but let me tell you I was blown away by the very pleasant surprise to see she has OVER $200 IN HER ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  How good my God is!!!  :)    God is answering my prayers!  I'm so happy someone cares enough to donate their money to her.  She needs it so badly! I'm just speechless! :)   

Thank you so much for those of you who have donated, prayed & shared "my" little Lina's posts/profile!  It's means so much to both of us!  :)  

Sorry to ramble, I do that a lot when I'm excited.  :)  

God bless you, you're all in my prayers!  

The First $10

I was playing music while getting ready for the day. Like I usually do in my room. I decided to check my blogs & fan pages, I do it daily. When I logged onto my blog I noticed right off the bat that Lina has her very first DONATION!! :) $10!! It's a fabulous start!! I hope to see that number multiply soon! The more money in her donation box the greater her chances of finding a family are!!

I believe that the ten dollars were also here by prayer. Gods answering our prayers & helping Lina get adopted sooner, hopefully. Thank you, for all of you who've been praying for "my" precious little lovebird, Lina! I'm sure if she knew she'd be very appreciative!

Please continue to pray, share & donate! :)

Collection of My Thoughts & Pictures of Lina

I've had some more photo's of "my" Lina for a few days now.  And I have been so anxious to post them! :) She's such an angel!  And after just a glance into her big blue eyes, I think you'll be in love in her as well! :)

                                                                                                                                                                          I think this is one of her younger photo's.  I'm not completely sure of the history behind it though, so don't quote me on it.  She just takes my breath away in this photo especially.   She's so small, fragile & innocent.  I only wish that she had someone to depend on.  And someone to tell her how incredibly beautiful & special she is!  She deserves at least that much..doesn't she? <3

I want to personally apologize for the not so great quality in this couple pictures.  When I downloaded them it must have messed or something in the process.  I'll make sure to fix it & upload them again later!  

Just look how SMALL she is! So tiny!  I want to kiss her little head so bad.  I was thinking the other day about how strong my love is for her.  And just how blessed anyone would be, to be able to call themselves the parents of this gorgeous little gift from God. I do wish I was married & old enough to be her mother.  I understand it's not as easy as I'm making it sound.  But if I think about it, it's the truth.  I love her.  She's so special to me.  I sometimes just sit down later praying for her & think about her.  I usually end up teary eye'd too.  I can't help it.  She's stole my heart. :)

Pretty, pretty, pretty little girl!  Oh, how I love you, Lina! :)  Isn't she just stunning?!  I believe so.  With all my heart.  God made her so perfect.  She's no mistake.  He does have a very special reason for her.  She was made by God.  Just like you & I.  He gave her, her disabilities for His own special plan.

When I look at Lina, I don't spot her disabilities like most people would.  I see her as someone God took a little more time on, creating.  Just to make her a little more extra special than the rest of us.  In a good way. :)

And yes.  I saved the very best for last. Or should I say, my very favorite for last?  This exact photo is the one that will be going in the special picture frame I bought for her, to sit in my room on my night stand.  This photo brings tears to my eyes.  It hurts so much to see someone so small, so sweet & so innocent suffer with out true love or a family for so long!    Please help me find her forever family!


SHARE THIS POST!


DONATE (RIGHT SIDE BAR, VERY TOP)


And above all, please PRAY for Lina, pray that she'll stay safe & sound while we wait for her forever family to find her. 


Please, don't do it for me, do it for Lina!  <3 <3 <3  I want nothing more than to see her happy!  I want to hold her, talk to her, kiss her & the list is, honestly, endless. So I'll stop here.

Thank you so much for reading my blog.  Remember to share it. And please follow!  :)

Making Memories in My Heart

I was up until 1 last night ordering photos of all my little orphans from all over the world. Yeah, I had to resize all the photos, edit them & etc, so it took me a little bit. And when I first started working on them, of course I was watching the Olympic Opening ceremony! ;) It was good but I have to be honest, Beijing was still the BEST opening! :)
Anyways, I'm getting side tracked here. Ha ha! Sorry.
I received more photos of baby Lina which I'm going to be posting soon! I bought a special little picture frame for her, I'm going to be putting one of my favorite photos of her in it. I want her to know how much I love her! I'm going to be starting some fundraisers for her, I won't stop until shes safe & sound at a loving, deserving home.
I'm making memories with my little Lina in my heart, while wait on her forever family to find her... <3

Here's the pretty "lOve," frame I bought her a few night ago. Can't wait to see her pretty face inside the frame! :)

I Love "My" Lina...

Ashlyn is getting adopted!!  You probably already knew that, or if not you probably already guessed it when her gorgeous little picture was taken off the banner of mine.  Not because I got tired of looking at it or it means I'm just going to drop her & forget about the little soul but simply because I'm ready to take on my next mission.  I was ready to pray & wait & see who God had in store for me to advocate next.  I was in no rush or hurry to move on to another child, although I do like to "hurry" & help someone else in need as soon as possible, I was waiting on God's answer to me.   He always gives me this special feeling where I just..connect to the orphan so well.  Like it's just perfect!  I was just wondering whom that little special one might be.  Since ALL the babies on Reece's Rainbow are ADORABLE, but none of them but a few gave me the feeling of making them my next mission.  Then I checked the newly listed page one night & saw little miss Lina.  And I saw sparks fly when I gazed into those gorgeous blue eyes with the full, thick eyelashes!  She was just..precious & so sweet.  I don't often take the time to read all the children's description but I did for Lina.  And then my heart skipped beats.   Lina's mother left her in the hospital right after she was born.  To hear that tears me apart.  It makes me angry but more sad, more heart broken than anything else.  I had tears in my eyes.  How could anyone leave their little baby girl in a hospital, never knowing who she'd turn out to be in the years to come.  The years that most mothers adore, cherish & want to hold on to forever, this baby girl would, & never will, know her mommy.  :'(  Yes, I'm teary eye'd writing this.  I can't help it.  Lina was born a premature baby & had bleeding in her lungs.  In Russia, it isn't "normal" to have a child with a disability & keep it.  You most likely give it up for adoption at birth.  Because it's just not common there.  It's crazy, I know but that's the way it works.

I can't be all mad at the mother who left her baby in a hospital. In fact, if I could say just two words to her I would say, "Thank you."  I would like to tell her thank you for going through the pregnancy with this child.  Instead of turning to abortion right away.  Now Lina has a second chance at life!  She has a chance to grow up & live & laugh with people that LOVE her!  That puts a smile on my face & makes me SO happy!  

This is where I come in!  This is MY mission with the help of God's love & blessings I will find Lina's FOREVER FAMILY!!!  Whatever it takes to get "my" little princess home safe & sound, I'll do it!  No doubt about it, my love for her is BIG!  She's like my little sister!  And if I was married, she'd be my daughter!    

In the future (NEAR FUTURE) I'll hold fundraisers on my blog & spread her name everywhere!  :)  This is my time to help Lina get rescued!   She won't die in an orphanage never knowing what love is!  I'll make sure of it.  God loves her & so do I!  With prayer we will save. Hallelujah! Praise Jesus! :)

MORE POSTS TO COME!! :)

Blessings,

God's AMAZING Miracle! -Ashlyn

I never imagined I'd be making this post SO SOON!!! I'm thrilled to death to tell you ASHLYN IS ON THE MY FAMILY FOUND ME PAGE!!!!!!!! Yes that's AMAZING news!! That mean's a family is committing to adopt her! Take her in their loving arms to hold her. I was shaking when I discovered this. I was reading on my front porch when my friend, Madison, text me & told me to look on Reece's Rainbow's "My Family Found Me" page, I picked up my Ipod & looked it up. A moment later I jumped out of my seat, throwing the library book on the floor & ran inside screaming with joy telling my family. Oh words can't describe my happiness & excitement for her! :')

For a loooong time I passed her profile on Reece's Rainbow wondering just how on the earth has she NOT been adopted?! It didn't make any sense to me. Well after "my" little Thadius found his forever family I prayed God would pull my attention to the next center of my mission, & sure enough it was Ashlyn. After a while of praying, finally God led me to her. I thought there HAD to be some big reason she wasn't getting any commitments towards adoption. And now I see what it was! It was PRAYER I don't think anyone was specially committing to praying daily for Ashlyn. I did. And a little over two weeks later she is listed on the MFFM page! (My family found me)


People will ask "What's the evidence that God's "real"? " Well THIS is one of my many evidence! Besides my strong faith, God's proven to me SO many times that HE IS THERE! He is listening to all of my prayers. This is what I would call a miracle. I true miracle. No I'm not being dramatic or anything here, God has given this child a second chance & I thank Him for leading me to becoming her Prayer Warrior. I'm so blessed to be praying for her. She's so beautiful & deserves this chance to be loved.

Just a little letter I want Ashlyn to have.. <3 If I could talk to her this is what I would say..

Dear Ashlyn,

I believe God has great BIG plans for you Ashlyn sweetie. Hold tight. God's on your side & someone's coming to your rescue! I love you little princess & I pray that if it's God's will I will get to meet you in person & hold you in my own arms someday. It would be a blessing & dream come true. I'm praying you home, all the way baby doll. And I'll do whatever it takes to help your family bring you home. Forever.

With MUCH Love,


Kaitlyn.


Be on the look out for more posts!!! I'm going to track down this little angels forever family & get them some help soon as possible! :) Please continue to pray for Ashlyn with me. And the family committing to adopting her, as they begin their long but incredible blessing of a mission of bringing Ashlyn home. :)

Little Flower Project

My cutie pie's, Henry & Doug are located in an orphanage in China.  I just ADORE a Chinese baby!  They're the tiniest & cutest little things God ever created, in my eyes!   I recently discovered a new program called "Little Flower Projects" it's kinda like an orphanage/foster care type thing in China, I believe.  Since I just found out about this I'm not all the way sure about all the details, but I do know most of the children there are available for adoption.  Sadly it's tougher to adopt in China so many children never find forever families there.  :(  

 Little Flower Projects is a GREAT cause!  Here's their description from their Facebook page.  

We focus on providing specialized care to abandoned infants and nurturing the growth and education of older disabled orphans.

Mission

Recognizing the beauty and dignity of each and every individual person, Little Flower Projects works to build a culture of life by reaching out to those who are rejected, abandoned, deemed as useless, and who have no voice. Whether by direct care, support, or education, we seek to show the value of each human life and build a culture that respects, protects, loves and serves life!"

Sounds like a pretty incredible thing if I do say so myself! :)  

The children there are just stunningly perfect.  I just fall in love with each one of their faces.   

There's two babies in particular that caught my eye right away.  So, yes!  Of course I'm going to 

be adding their sweet faces to my "little" blog!  I can't help myself!  I must!  The more people that 

see their adorable faces the greater their chances of getting adopted will be!  

This precious little girls name is Chang!  Isn't she just STUNNING?  I can't even begin to find 

words to describe how wonderful I think she is!  This is going to sound so blond but, she reminds 

me of a Chinese version of my baby sister, Olivia Rose.  :)  And that's totally a good compliment! 

Chang

I'll be adding her to my blog & prayer list!  She's just too cute to resist!!

           Meet BEAUTIFUL baby girl, Hui!  She's a complete doll baby!  She's SO pretty!!  

I just have a feeling that God has BIG plans for little miss Hui & Chang! :)  They're both so amazing 

& gorgeous!!  I get so excited seeing their adorable faces!

There's still one thing that tears me apart, on top of the fact that no one is truly "loving" them like a "real" family would...it's that these little babies have so many medical needs that still just aren't getting met yet.  I just wish someone would commit to adopting them soon so they could get all the love & medical attention they really need.  I can barely stand the fact of thinking of it. It nearly brought me to tears earlier.  :(  But that's when I turn to the one thing I can.  God!  This problem/situation is BIG but my God is BIGGER! :)   I'm giving these babies to Him!  He's carrying them.  I pray God will wrap a blanket of comfort over these two & the other babies too.  As well as the other Sunshine babies of mine from RR. :)  God is sooo good!  I have faith in Him!    Please help me pray for these two little angels! :) 

My New Mission? Saving Ashlyn!

I couldn't stand it for long.  Once I had to take off Thadius's picture (due to privacy issues through the adoption) the blog seemed so empty.  I felt so useless not having a center to my mission of rescuing children overseas with DS.  I've known Thadius was getting adopted for almost two weeks now.  And ever since I've been praying that God would lead me to my next mission.  I wanted the child that God wanted for me.  After praying daily about it for a couple of weeks & thinking hard.  I feel like little miss Ashlyn should be my next mission!  I've seen her on RR for far too long!  All that pretty just wasting away in a rotten orphanage!  She's currently got $2000+ in her adoption fund account on RR.  Let's make that number triple!  I want to find this pumpkin her forever family!  And fast!  She's too gorgeous to be wasted.  She needs to feel love!  

I'm going to post MORE information and MORE pictures of Ashlyn tomorrow!!!!  Please watch out for it! :) 

ON THE MY FAMILY FOUND ME PAGE!!

MY THADIUS HAS A FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness!  Yes!!  It's true the adorable little boy that I feel in love with just a short time ago has already found his forever family!!!!  It's incredible!  Sadly I can't show you his cute little picture anymore.  Or at least I can't for now.  But he looks a little bit like my baby sister Olivia Rose, for all of you who've seen her picture before.    And even more exciting...I've gotten a chance to talk with his parents!!!  I feel so blessed to have heard from them.  I'm praying for them & their future son (Lord willing), daily!  Please be keeping them in your prayers as they begin their long journey to adopting Thadius.  I'm sure they will appreciate it very much!  :)   

God is so good! HE IS AMAZING!  I give Him all the glory!  He didn't make a mistake when he made the little sunshine baby, Thadius.  God doesn't make mistakes.  Just blessings.  And Thadius surely is one!  To me & to his future parents that will one day hold him in their arms & give him the love that his heart has desired for sooo long.   

Thank you Jesus for finding Thadius his forever family! <3 -Kaitlyn S.  His PrayerWarrior.

The Sunshine Baby..Thadius

Due to privacy issues the photo's of Thadius are no longer available, but please read the post. :) 

                               Thank you -Kaitlyn 

Finally!!  I get to post this EXCITING NEWS!!!!   Meet little, Thadius!  He has Down syndrome, or as I like to call it, Down Right Perfect syndrome! ;)  And let me just tell you right now.  When I saw this handsome little guys photo it was a love at first sight kind of thing.  One major reason: He reminds me of my baby sister Olivia.  Whom I'm madly in love with.    I've been waiting for the "right" child sent from God to raise money and awareness full.  After a couple days of praying.  I really feel like Thadius is the one.  I am going to be Thadius Prayer & Orphan Warrior!  I'm more then excited to say the least.

I'm so in love with all my little angels & pray for each one of them everyday!  Becoming Thadius's Orphan Warrior gives me the chance to make one child the more of the center of my blog & mission.  I helped find two little girls their forever families this way before, Sonya Hinz & Angela Dellevoet.  I'm praying that with God I will find Thadius his forever mommy & daddy <3

Thadius 1G

14zru-1
Boy, born October 2011
Gray eyes
Red hair
Nature calm and smiling

Down syndrome

Such babies are often referred to as “sun”, and when dealing with Thadius it’s easy to understand why. He is very affectionate, sociable, loves to smile and laugh, makes a very bright impression.

Develops like a good boy: holds his head, toys, watches, actively responds to adults. Sleeps and eats well too. He really needs caring parents – they are out there somewhere, just do not know about such a wonderful kid.

$0.00 is available towards the cost of my adoption!

One More? Ohhhh Yes!

I've learned to never say "Okay this is the last child I will add to being an "official Prayer Warrior for" because God's given me such a big heart for His children, not only with disabilities such as Down syndrome but so many more.  I just don't have the heart to push any away, if I find a way to help I want to jump in and do it!   I'm not trying to act like I'm some sort of God sent "super hero" here, because I'm simply just you average teenage girl who was blessed enough to find God's calling to me.  Helping change His world one simple step at a time.  I'm young.  I'm unwise in most cases. But that doesn't mean I can't make a change.  Cause I can. 

With that being said I want to introduce my ANGEL CAKE little Miss, Colleen!! My baby!!  In case you haven't noticed I love her so SUPER much!!  She is gorgeous in every single way possible & she stole my heart just like the other nine did!  I couldn't just ignore that feeling of love! <3  The most I can do is take her into my blogging advocacy for orphans family!!   That's all I want! <3  I LOVE HER!!

Her current amount in her adoption fund on RR (Reece'sRainbow.org) is just a simple $20  It's my goal to RAISE that amount, find her forever family!!  

Welcome to "My" family Colleen!!!! <3  I'm your mommy at heart, forever!

Love the chubby little arms on this sweet baby girl!  Colleen is a beautiful baby girl who needs a family to see past the fuzzy picture and bring her home!

Travel required, large families welcome

$20.00 is available towards the cost of my adoption!

New Photo's

I'm hoping this works. :)

My tiny little Mark or as I like to call him Markie, has finally gotten an updated RR ( Reeces Rainbow) profile picture!! He is so stinking cute!!!
I share Markie with one of my beautiful dear friends, Anjelica who actually had her eyes on him before me. But we both agree that with both of us being his Prayer Warrior then there is double the chances of him getting adopted! He's blessed to have such a super incredible "big sister" like Angelica to look after him! :) She's awesome!

We were so excited to see his new picture! I posted it on her Facebook wall soon as I saw it! He is beyond adorable! God made this little sunshine perfectly!! <3

Mark still needs to get adopted! His forever family hasn't committed to him yet. Please pray that God will guide the perfect loving forever family to Mark! <3

Listed At Last

Finally!! The announcement I've been dying to write!! Diana & Mary are LISTED!!! Which just means they are no longer just an "additional" children in their regions. They actually have their very own profiles!!! :) This makes me one extremely happy girl!! They just doubled their chances of getting adopted! At least that's what I think.

Unfortunately this does not mean they'll be able to have adoption grant funds :( I'm praying that will somehow change in the future.

In the mean time I'll continue to donate one of the most richest gifts possible, prayer! Gods got these girlies in His arms & He knows what He's doing! He will save His sunshine babies!!

The girls had to have their names changed, due to privacy I believe. So Mary, is listed as Rose & Diana is listed as Summer. Fitting them perfectly! :). I'll now go by their listed names. For less confusion.

Since I'm writing this through the mobile app (Explanation for the post being so short..) I can't label the links as well which means I'll give them to you below. :)

My cute boy, Mark has a new updates photo that I'll show you later! :)

Mary & Diana..the Butterfly Babies

HERE IS THE EXTRA SPECIAL POST!!!!!!  

Okay I am so super excited to introduce to you two beautiful, BEAUTIFUL baby girls, that completely stole my heart!    This means I have 9 heart babies!  I am a Prayer Warrior for nine beautiful orphans, children of God that are awaiting on their forever families to adopt them!  

God has put this desire on my heart, to be a prayer warrior for His children who are orphans on earth.  I believe God has a special plan & purpose for everyone & I certainly know that God does NOT make mistakes! Which means children with Down syndrome & other disabilities are not mistakes!  God knew what He was doing when He created these "extra" special children!    

I use to feel a little overwhelmed with how many children I was taking on, but when I feel a connection with a child I can't help but to take them into my heart & bring them into my prayers!  

So I won't keep you waiting anymore,  meet the little butterflies of my heart! :)

Meet "my" beautiful baby doll, Mary!!  Oh goodness gracious I love her so much!!!  I prayed for a while that God would guide me to His children He wanted me to help next, since "my" little chickie, Jolie has found her forever family!  A week or so later & God led me to "my" little butterfly, Mary!   All I can say is I love her, I love her, I love her!!!!  Did I mention, I LOVE her?! :)   

God has one beautiful creation right there!  I'm thrilled to be her Prayer Warrior.   Now Mary is in a rather difficult place to be adopted.  So she needs some extra special prayers! 

Mary turned one year old this January & celebrated, not with family but in a rotten orphanage.  I pray, pray, that she isn't there for her second!    God is powerful & prayer DOES work!!  I  will SAVE Mary!   

Please pray with me for my little Mary! <3

Meet my second baby butterfly, Diana!  Apparently there are more photo's available of her & I hope so!  She makes me so excited seeing her little face!  So super sweet & innocent! <3    Like Mary, Diana is in a difficult spot too.  And when you click on the large title above her photo, you won't be taken to a direct Reece's Rainbow profile, like most children.   Instead you will be taken to a page called "Additional Children".  Sadly this isn't the only page like that.  There are several more!  It really breaks my heart to see all the many little extra special faces that are being completely hidden almost.    It makes me so upset.     I'm trying to get these two angels, Diana & Mary, listed to have their very own RR (Reece's Rainbow) profile!  I emailed someone about it & I have yet to get a response from them.  Don't worry.  That won't be the only person I email about it though!  I won't give up on trying!   I will do anything for these nine little bundle of joys!  I want only the best for them!  I'm their mother of the heart, taking care of them through prayer & being their voices while they anxiously wait on their forever families to come rescue them.   

Thank you for taking a few minutes to read my blog, please follow & pray with me for my little butterflies, Diana & Mary. <3 :)
