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 do not post photos of waiting children in order to protect their privacy. You can view photos of waiting children by making an account on Rainbowkids.com
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 2 year old Allister who waits ins Asia and is diagnosed with Urogenital differences. Link to full profile here.
The following is from Allister's profile:
Allister the Amazing!Allister is an adorable toddler who is active and curious. He loves running around and chatting with his pals as he waits his turn climbing up the ladder and sliding down the slide. Allister was born with complex urogenital issues including malformation of his bladder and bowel. Despite the time he has spent recovering from his medical surgeries, he’s surpassing many of his peers of similar age at the orphanage. If Allister is doing this well in an orphanage, imagine what he could accomplish in a family of his own!
Married couples and single women up to age 52
Families may qualify for a $5,000 WHFC subsidy; additional subsidies may be available through other adoption grant organizations
