I apologize for going a couple of days between posts. I had a slow internet connection among other things--but got the modem replaced today so the posts will continue. I will include some extra posts today to make up for the days I did not post.

I just love this video about successful adults who just happen to have Down Syndrome!

31 for 21--Prayers for Emily & Ella Grace

Today is the first day of the 31 for 21 blog challenge. 31 days of blogging in honor of Down Syndrome Awareness Month. The purpose of this blog is to help Anastasiya's family to bring her home. However, today I wanted to introduce you to two more absolutely adorable little princesses who, like Anastasiya, also have Down Syndrome.

Meet Emily! Emily was just diagnosed with leukemia. Isn't she super cute? She started her treatment yesterday. Please keep her and her family in your prayers. They have a long journey ahead of them. Please post Emily's button on your blog.


This adorable little girl is Ella Grace! Ella just finished her fourth round of chemo--and she and her family still need lots of prayer. Please post her button on your blog as well.

Please go to Emily and Ella's pages and read about their lives...two beautiful little girls.

Don't forget the star of this blog--Miss Anastasiya!
Also, please go here to read about Anastasiya's forever family! They do not have any money in their adoption fund yet...let's do something about that.

Anastasiya Has a Family! Let's Help Them Bring Her Home

Guess who found a family?


If you are reading this blog, you know that I have been trying to raise awareness for Anastasiya, a little girl with Down Syndrome who needed a family. I prayed specifically for a Christian family for her--and the Lord has answered that prayer! She will have a wonderful family including a brother and two sisters! The sister closest in age to her also has Down Syndrome.

Just because she has a family, does not mean this blog is ending. Anastasiya's journey home has just begun. Let me explain what I have in mind.

Many families commit to children through Reece's Rainbow. There is a family sponsorship page there where you can read about the families who are bringing these little ones home. You can also donate there to help fund their adoption. The sad thing is that sometimes a family will commit to a child and be unable to complete the adoption due to lack of funds, etc. After praying for this little girl to have a family, and seeing the Lord choose an absolutely perfect family for her, I would like to do something to enable them to bring her home.

October is the 31 for 21 blog challenge. Down Syndrome is also known as Trisomy 21 people with Down Syndrome have an extra 21st chromosome. I will be participating in this here on Anastasiya's blog. I will put some different posts up about Down Syndrome--introduce you to a few new friends who could use your prayers--and hopefully raise some money for Anastasiya in the process.

Here is how you can help. Could you post about my project on your blog--and let me know you did so? Getting the word out is the easiest and most effective way to help. The other way you can help is to make a donation to Anastasiya's family sponsorship page. Go to www.reecesrainbow.com, click on sponsorship, committed families, and then homestudy in progress. Anastasiya's picture is a few families down. Any donation will help this precious girl come home to her forever family. Do not forget to follow Anastasiya's blog as well.

I had hoped to do some fundraising earlier--but that never panned out. However, now would be the perfect time for that. If anybody has any suggestions, please let me know! I am not sure how to set up a fundraiser or chip in on the blog--but if I could get that figured out--I just want to see this family bring her home--and would like to use this blog to help with that.
