UPDATE: There is a family who has met Ashley. Ashley WANTS to be adopted! Please share to help Ashley find a family of her own! The person who met Ashley will talk with anyone who is interested!
These girls have birthdays in a few months. Their best chance for families are still families already in process for their country, but there might be a chance for a family to reuse a dossier or start from scratch and move very, very quickly. I have heard of aging out adoptions being completed in 4 months start to finish, but it requires everything to work out perfectly. The family can't have delays, the agency must expedite, and immigration needs to as well. A family willing to try might get there in time though! Send an email to childinquiry@reecesrainbow.org for more information about international adoption of these and other children with special needs.
Please consider joining in and helping advocate for these kids who are about to age out. It is challenging, but it is worthwhile. Learning about these children and their need to be adopted in this short amount of time truly changes you. Every child is different, but they all need the same thing. And who knows, you might find the child you advocate for is one who is supposed to be in your own home.

Ashley will be turning 14 in October. Ashley has Down Syndrome. She has really great self-care and communication skills! She can speak in sentences and follow directions. She can take of her own needs and assist in the foster home where she is currently living. Foster homes and the way they are run vary in different countries. In her country, they often provide good care for the children, but the children are not able to stay there as adults. Children in foster homes can still be adopted in her country. (This is unlike the foster home change I have posted about in Eastern Europe.) Foster homes can provide a great foundation for children to build attachment skills that will help them transition into a new family. Ashley's profile says she is affectionate and shows affection toward her foster mother. That is a great sign! Ashley sounds like a very loveable girl who would do really well in a family. She loves to dress in pretty clothes and have her hair in pigtails. I would be so happy to see her adopted before she ages out! She is eligible for a $10,000 older child grant to assist with adoption expenses! Single parents can adopt from this country. Where is her family?? Please go HERE to see the rest of her profile, and email childinquiry@reecesrainbow.org for more information about adopting her!

Toni will also be turning 14 in October. Her profile says that she is very serious and concerned about aging out without a family. I can't even begin to imagine how scary it must be to realize that your next birthday signifies the loss of your chance to be adopted. Toni has vision loss in one eye and some hearing loss. She now wears hearing aides and is learning to speak. She needs a family to help her continue the progress she has been making. She can follow spoken directions, write her name, do addition, perform daily self-care and assist in her foster home. She even helps care for the younger children in the foster home. She enjoys playing outdoors and doing crafts. She sounds like an absolutely amazing girl who would really benefit from a family. She is eligible for a $10,000 older child grant to assist with her adoption expenses. Single parents can adopt from this country. Please go HERE to see the rest of her profile, and email childinquiry@reecesrainbow.org for more information about adopting her!
