My son will be 16 in just a matter of weeks, and without a family who has already filed prior to that date he will age out and never know the love of a family. That means he will be institutionalized for the rest of his life with no rights of his own until he dies. He once knew love but that was all shattered when he was very young and his mom lost her life. He has spent most of his childhood in an institution because of mild disability. He longs for a family and asks constantly if one has been found.. He has no idea we exist. Look at the small boy that for years has held on to hope. Look at how much he has grown. To many years without a family, and he is still at risk of living forever without one.
My daughter is 5, she is so fragile and weak not even her legs can hold her. She spends her days in a crib, and sometimes she gets to sit in a baby chair. she has little of the nutrition she needs and is dwindling away. She needs full rehabilitation to have a chance to beat the terminal diagnosis. I know about her diagnosis all to well because sadly 2 of my biological children share her disease and she needs someone who is not only willing to fight for her life, but someone who has the knowledge to try and get back what she has lost. She WILL die there without a family. She has never been mobile or been able to move on her own. No mama to help her. We are willing to offer much more than her mobility we would like to offer her life, something that will soon be taken if she isn't out ASAP. Her orphanage is begging for a family because they know they can not keep her alive. We are that family.
We are not funded to bring home either child, so they must stay and wait. They have fell into the cracks of Eastern Europe's very nasty system.
We are also wanting to bring home a 3rd child.
Our hearts say she is our daughter too, but not being funded for the other 2 we can not say yes just yet.
She needs us desperately. She has an array of medical issues, it is unknown if she can even see, and she will soon be transferred from the baby house to a place where she will dwindle and be forgotten about. Once she is transferred it will become more difficult to get her out. She maybe loosing her sight but don't let her loose sight of a family.
These three children are my heart, they share that space with our three bio's who have taught us so much about the world and what it is like to live with disability. I LOVE THEM. I can't wait to look them in the eyes and say ''I love you''.
So often society waits until tragedy strikes to be moved into action, lets not wait on tragedy for these sweet children. They are all lined up in its devastating path, lets remove them from that course.
We will come for you sweet children
If you would like to help these children get off of the road to tragedy and into a home with a family that will love, cherish, and hold them dear.
