Do you remember Valentin? Do you remember his beautiful face from the Friday gallery?
Do you remember the horror of watching his decline as he was moved to a lying-down room?
Well regardless of whether you remember his beautiful face or not, if you want to smile today and see why I love Reece's Rainbow so much then head on over to,'Because He Adopted Us First' and see Valentin's Gotcha day! Go see his beautiful Mama, his lovely new Daddy and his brand new brother, also saved on the same day! Valentin has a new life, a new family, new hope. No longer a cot-bound existence in a lying-down room, lack of any interaction and stimulation sucking his spirit away from him! Valentin has a new life and I am so happy!
Valentin, so long a part of the Forget-Me-Not Friday, who yo-yoed on and off the gallery as hearts broke trying to get to him and his condition worsened! How was it all to end? Things at one point looked really bad! But on this day the big picture came together! Go and read and delight in the moments when miracles do happen!
People who leap in faith for these kiddies are simply saving them from a living death! That sounds dramatic but it's as simple as that! They are saved from a living death!
Could you leap?
Could you have that sort of love and faith?
Could you be a Rainbow Mama?
Perhaps Bobby is your child?
Read more about my time with this beautiful boy here!
Perhaps Emmitt, ageing out and in desperate need?
Or perhaps Bethany, such a special little girl and sadly re-listed again for the third time after everybody thought she had found her family! Oh sweet Bethany, I hope this is the last time I have to re-add you back into the Forget-Me-Not Friday Gallery! I pray a family leaps for you soon!
COULD YOU? WILL YOU?

It's Forget-Me-Not Friday and time to link up any posts you have about the wonderful children at Reece's Rainbow. Try to visit as many links as you can and leave some comment love...we all need support in this warrior family!
.................................................................................................................................................................
Here is the Forget-Me-Not Friday gallery, a tiny portion of all the beautiful, extra-special children on Reece's Rainbow, each one desperate for a family to love them and save them from the terrible fate of transfer at around 4-5 years old into an adult mental institution, where many children will remain cot-bound forever!
Do please link-up your posts about these children of our hearts. Link up as many times as you like and remember grab the button for your blog to help these children find their forever families!
Click on their name links to visit their individual Reece's Rainbow profile page to find out more or to donate. By donating into a child's adoption fund you help an adoptive family raise the huge ransom it takes to save these children...currently $25,000- $50,000! These children really are on the 'frontline' of need, they need us to help, to sacrifice for them and to care!
.
You do not need to adopt to help. Become a prayer or fundraising warrior for a child, re-post their faces or add my Forget-Me-Not Friday button to your blog and join in the link up. If you are a warrior already then please come and link here weekly on Fridays, let me know beforehand so I can add your child's face to the gallery. Link any post or write using an ongoing writing prompt of 'Forgotten'.
Or perhaps you could adopt? Perhaps you could be blessed by opening up your heart to one of these children? Is your child here?
I am thrilled to be linking up every Friday with 4 awesome ladies who also have big hearts for these children. Go visit Mandy over at, 'Our Adoption Story'. And then visit the amazing Andrea at 'Taking God's Love To The Ends Of The Earth'. and then go give some blogworld love to Julia over at Micah Six Eight. Finally go visit Sarah at 'What it Means To Love'.
It's been so wonderful following Valentine's journey home! So wonderful to see the miracles happening! I hope Emmitt and Bobby get their miracle soon!
