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!

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! :)

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! 

                             

Hui

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.
