Frank's Freedom

Meet Frank. He’s 13 years old, and is curious, busy, fun happy and bright. He has a mental delay, but that doesn’t stop him from being friendly, engaging and kind. He’s also an orphan in Eastern Europe. This means he is in an institution. If he is not adopted by age 16, he will be thrown out on the street with nothing but the clothes on his back and his “disabled orphan” status. Let me tell you more about Frank.

He’s little, about the size of a 7 year old. And he’s smart. He is in a group with teenage boys ages 16-24. He does puzzles and he does his chores diligently. He is very kind to the younger children. Frank is friendly and engaging. He likes being with the boys, but is happy being alone too. He plays appropriately with toys and is “all boy”. He could very easily function in a family. Frank is curious, smart, fun and sweet. He likes to play in the dirt and jump on the trampoline. Frank is independent, a good eater, is happy and content. Frank is physically healthy. He walks, runs, feeds himself, speaks, does puzzles and interacts with others well. He's a sweet boy who seems rather unaffected by his surroundings. He has no future where he's at, and without help, he's never getting out. Institutions are a one way ticket to nowhere. And this little boy deserves a future. This little boy will be a blessing to any family.

The Baker family has committed to adopt Frank and another boy, Emmitt. But international adoption is pretty expensive. The adoption would cost about $30,000. Reece’s Rainbow is an organization that helps with this cost. They set up grants for children in 25 countries around the world, and any money that is donated to these funds is given to the families to help with adoption fees. With Reece's Rainbow's help, the Baker family only needs about $10,000 to bring home both boys!

An announcement...

After some consideration, I have decided to solely sponsor Sergey. Trying to sponsor six kids is very difficult. Spud will be sponsoring for Anthony. If either of us get any news about either of the boys, we will post.
I actually do have some announcements too! First of all, a "new" picture of Sergey! It is from June 2010, but I hadn't seen it before. The one of him in green is from February 2011. So here it is! Isn't he so adorable?!?



Does anyone else see the resemble between him and Sullivan? No? I do! They have the same nose, same blue eyes.
And another thing... Is it a coincedence? Or a sign?
i am working on a pair of children pajamas to get to sergey, either with an adopting family, or mailing them, or someway, thats not the point. I have a pefect piece of fabric, and i thought the design was perfect for sergey. The pattern is white with blue strips. At that point i hadnt seen the picture of sergey from june 2010. Then i saw that picture, and the design on sergeys clothes in that pictire, its the same! weird, right?
Well, wish us luck and be praying for Sergey please!
