For a link to the Rainbowkids site here.
It is important to understand that the privacy of these children should be protected. Rainbowkids does post bits of the profiles of their waiting children on social media, and that's all I am trying to do here. To view the profiles of the children I post on my blog you will have to create an account and do email verification.
Note: I no longer post photos of waiting children to protect their privacy.
The reason I have chosen to feature children who have profiles on Rainbowkids is not only because I want people to consider adoption/international adoption, but also, maybe even more so, because I want people to consider the adoption of a child who has a special need. These children are overlooked so much, and need families. These children may not have the medical care they need in their current living situation. Many of these children need advocating, and if I can spread the word by posting about these kids on my insignificant little website, then at least I'm doing something! This cause is just so close to my heart knowing that other kids/teens don't have what I have.
Today's featured Rainbowkid is Brody. Link to full profile here.
Brody is 8 and waits in Asia. He is diagnosed with Limb Differences, Anal Atresia / Imperforate Anus. The following is from his profile:
Brody is seven years old and is a Special Focus (SF) child listed on Agape Adoptions’ individual list. Brody has been diagnosed with deformity of right lower limb and post-operative anal atresia. Brody has great gross and fine motor skills, without any limitations! Brody is a cheerful outgoing boy who gets along well with others and happily participates in activities. He is close to his caretakers and takes care of the other little children at the orphanage. Brody has excellent verbal skills, and will always have a ready smile! He will need a family who can care for his medical needs and give him the love he needs to grow. Brody has said that he really wants a family of his own, and would love to be adopted. Could your family be the one Brody has been waiting for?
