There is no shortage of families hoping to adopt a child with Down syndrome, only a shortage of funds to do so.   Money is the ONLY thing keeping them apart.   

Reece's Rainbow works to eliminate the financial obstacles of international adoption, and your donations as adoption grants will make it possible for each of  these children to be saved from life in a mental institution.

Make a donation, purchase an ornament…send a check, use Paypal, or even donate stock!  It's so easy to "give the gift of a family" this holiday season.

• The average cost for a family to adopt a child through Reece's Rainbow is $25,000.
• The goal of the Angel Tree is to raise $1000 or more for each child, and to find families for (50) children in 8 weeks!
• The more each child has in their grant fund, the greater their chances of being chosen for adoption. 

Look at these beautiful faces.  I would bring them all home with me if I could.  This Christmas take a minute and donate to a great cause.  Help these children find forever families.  

These children, if not adopted, will end up in a mental institution for the rest of their lives.  These children are transfered to mental institutions at the age of 4 or 5.  Once there, these children have very little chance for adoption.  The institutions offer no education, no stimulation, no interaction and very little love.  The Today Show did a story on one of these institutions.  You can watch it here:

I know we  can't all adopt a child, but everyone can do something to help these children find families that will love them by donating to their adoption funds.  Click here to find out more.
