Our Christmas Wish...

The mission of Reece's Rainbow is to rescue orphans with Down syndrome through the gift of adoption, to raise awareness for all of the children who are waiting in 25 countries around the world, and to raise funds as adoption grants that help adoptive families afford the high cost of adopting these beautiful children.

Everyday I wake up to a smiling face and i wonder how anyone can abandon a face like his.  
Castian and his extra chromosome has enhanced our lives and i cannot imagine life without him.  Fortunately for Castian, we live in a country where his enhancement is considered acceptable.  He has the same rights as anyone else around him. 


Corban is a beautiful  little boy who is not much Older than Castian. Corban is from China and he too has Down Syndrome.  He is just one of the many children waiting for their "Forever Family" to come and take him home.   He deserves a home, he deserves to eat, and he deserves to be loved.  


The average cost of Adopting Internationally is staggering, $25,000.  With YOUR help, Corban will get one step closer to his forever family.   Your donation will help that family with the adoption costs.

We are going to use the Honor system and when you donate on the button below please send me a email with how much you donated.   

Take a minute to read through this carefully.  It is mind boggling…

In Central and Eastern European countries alone (this would include Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Romania, etc, but NOT Russia), there are more than 1.5 MILLION CHILDREN who have been abandoned by their families for one reason or another and are living in "public care" (that's the nice way to put it).  If statistically, 1 out of every 733 live births results in a child with Down syndrome, that means at any given time there are 2,046 children with Down syndrome who need families.  THAT'S JUST IN EUROPE!!  Some do not survive because of serious medical complications…some do not survive because of lack of medical attention, lack of food, lack of LOVE. 

In Russia, there are over 700,000 children waiting for families, meaning at least 955 children with Down syndrome wait, languishing.  In ASIA (China, Hong Kong, Korea, India), there are 3,572,000 orphans, with nearly 5000 children with Down syndrome who are unwanted.  Many of those children are killed at birth.    The "lucky" ones end up in orphanages and foster care situations.
