A big week coming, kicking off with "Monday for Marcus"

I had plans....

BIG plans for Marcus...

You see he is one of the last children who needs to find a family in a very special orphanage in Henry's country, an orphanage with a caring director that actually educates disabled children...

Until they "age out" at 17...

They get thrown out on the street with a handshake OR, in the case of someone in a wheelchair, like sweet Marcus, sent to an institution...

Where learning ENDS and day after day is merely survival...

I BEG you, go here:

Look at those eyes!

Read where Marcus would not allow his legs to be shown in earlier pics because he is convinced a momma will not choose him due to his disability (spina bifida)...

I wanted to do a "fancy schmancy" blog post with tons of pics and links...

But I had to leave the house at 5am to catch a 7am flight with Henry back here to CHOP... His cleft repair and g-tube insertion is coming up Thursday...

So I am blogging from my phone, which is not conducive to all the bells and whistles Marcus deserves...

But maybe his momma does not needs bells and whistles...

Maybe she just needs to look into his eyes...

Go click on that blog link I posted earlier momma...

Or go to www.reecesrainbow.com and type "Marcus" in the "Search" box on the top right...

Look into the eyes of a smart, sensitive, loving boy (i can put you in touch with a gal who visited with him for weeks and can tell you all about his personality!!) who DESPERATELY wants a family...

Yes, his legs don't work...

Henry's don't either...

And Henry can't sit up...

And Henry can't talk...

But my Henry is AMAZING!!!

Marcus is amazing too...

He needs to be here...

like my Henry...

  2. I know you're not supposed to call boys beautiful, but Marous is. He has the prettiest boy face I have ever seen.

    I pray he will get his family soon.
