Christopher

This is Christopher. He is 6 1/2 years old. How absolutely precious is he?

Christopher swj1-2H



Like Kathleen, Christopher is an orphan in Eastern Europe. Like Kathleen, Christopher has Down's Syndrome.

Unlike Kathleen, Christopher isn't living in a baby house. Christopher has already been transferred to an institution. When I read that, my heart just sank. There were no big red letters giving warning. It was just casually mentioned in his description. I looked at him, and thought...How in the world can that sweet little guy be in a mental institution?

If no one rescues him, he will stay there for as long as he lives.

Someone has to rescue him.

The older children on Reece's Rainbow do not have individual grants to help with their adoptions. There is an older child fund for the the boys and one for the girls. When a child gets a family committed to adopt them, that child gets whatever is in the fund to go toward their adoption expenses. Today the amount in that fund is $7529.00!!
