Virtual Baby Shower for "Sydney" and "Lucien" Jenks!

Before you have a baby you usually have a baby shower.  Rebecca Jenks is in her last Trimester of this Paper Pregnancy.  The babies will be home soon.  They don't need the traditional gifts.  They need help to rescue their babies.  I will post their wish list.  Please make your donation and email me at christinascott23@aol.com and let me know what "gift" you purchased. After you have given your gift it will be crossed off the list.  (I used small increments so everyone could donate but feel free to donate the whole cost of something if you feel led).

Don't forget to "sign" your gift by leaving a comment here for the happy couple. :-)

Just to make it more fun, anyone who donates will be put into a drawing for 2 fandango movie tickets.  (Given in a Voucher).  For every $10 you donate equals one entry.
 Please make your donation to their FSP at:  http://reecesrainbow.org/27586/sponsorjenks

Could you Imagine????

What if you fund-raised and fought to save not one, but two babies for months and months??  What if you did all you could to raise money?? What if you got so close and you got a travel date without being fully funded?  I am not adopting.  Nor have I.  I know its happened before but I personally cannot imagine the anxiety with the uncertainty not having all you need. .  .


Rececca and Mark Jenks are leaving in 2 weeks to get their children.  The country they are in is a one trip place.  But its a loooong one trip. Mark is going home to be with the teenagers after court. 


So, me being the nosy person I am, I asked. "What happens if you don't get the $6300." The response I got horrified me.  She said "I will be stuck in country".  Can you even imagine?  I know God will provide. They know God will provide.  But if we could just help a little?  

 I know I'm not good with words.  Also my own fundraising attempts have been hit or miss.  But all I do know if this women is incredible.  Never have I "met" a more faithful, loving, awesome person.  Please lets help this mommy go get her babies!

These children are counting on us!

Go here to make a tax deductible donation

Their fsp needs to read 25,000.00 to be fully funded and as of right now its at  $18,838.00

You can donate until they are home so don't think its too late.  That's about 2 months of donations that can still be given.  


If you can't donate please Pray and Share. 
 Thank you and God Bless!

Homecomings!!!

I had the privilege of witnessing 2 homecomings of 2 very precious babies.  These 2 families I helped fundraise.  I shouted and prayed for them.  Misha Chellson was my first airport homecoming.  It took all my will power not to lose it.  When I took him in my arms I knew the reason I fight so hard for these kids.  My husband has also become more involved with advocating and Reeces Rainbow.  I am so happy he was there.  Here's a few special pictures from that amazing experience. 


 


 Remember that was my first airport homecoming.  My 2nd was with Olivia Herrington.  It was 3 days later.  I was a pro by then.




All I can say is the experiences were something I will never, ever forget.  Misha Chellson and Olivia Herrington are the reason I continue to fight for orphans. Thank you Beth and Melissa were allowing me to be a part of your journey!!!
