Here's a challenge for you!

At the end of the day when you are emptying your pockets of loose change, would you be willing to donate it to Jacob? To us, it's just pennies and nickels but to Jacob and to the family who will adopt him, it's much more than that. Those coins combined withs other people's coins really add up. It is much needed. Jacob is in a MENTAL INSTITUTION! He is only a helpless baby. Being in a lovely family will do wonders for Jacob! Please share on your Facebook and emails. Together we can do this! Jacob already has $5,599 in his account which is amazing but I'm hoping to get him to a full grant.

Jacob's grant is growing!

Jacob now has $4065 in his grant. It's approximately $19,000 to adopt in Jacob's country. With the adoption tax refund being a little over $13,000 plus his $4000 grant, it would cost merely $2000 to adopt Jacob!!! That is simply amazing. He needs YOU! Grab his button, donate to his grant fund, pray for his family to find him!!


You can find him here and email Andrea from Reece's Rainbow for more information.

Who is Jacob?

Jacob is a precious 5 year old boy living in Eastern Europe. Jacob was born with Down syndrome, also called Trisomy 21. This simply means that he has an extra 21st chromosome. People with Down syndrome often have lower muscle tone and it takes them longer to accomplish their milestones such as crawling, walking, talking, etc. Jacob is 4 1/2 and because he wasn't in physical therapy for his low muscle tone, he is significantly delayed. He can sit up unassisted, but does not crawl or walk. His report says that most of his time is spent lying in a bed. He shows interest in his environment and in toys and other objects. He recognizes his name and responds to it. His speech is significantly delayed but he is beginning to make sounds. He eats from a bottle and does attempt to hold the bottle by himself. He is only 14 pounds. Yes, you read that right, almost 5 years old and is 14 lbs! My baby girl with Down syndrome is almost two years old and she weighs 18 lbs. This just breaks my heart for Jacob. Imagine what love and attention will do for him! He will exceed all expectations, I just know it. Could you be Jacob's family? Are you ready to be loved unconditionally by a precious little boy whose days are passed just lying in a crib, waiting for you?
