Meet Mercy
Mercy is a year and half and has spina bifida and joint contractures of her lower limbs (which makes it likely that she has a secondary diagnosis of Arthrogryposis). Her joint contractures certainly affect her hips as they're dislocated and she has what appears to be a clubfoot on the right and probably a vertical talus deformity on her left. Her knees also look affected to me but it could be how she is holding them.
From her medical records: Myelocele of lumbosacral part of spinal cord (spina bifida, had surgery); flail legs; optic nerve atrophy; congenital hips dislocation, clubbed feet.
Her Profile can be found here: http://reecesrainbow.org/mercy-48
If you are not in a position to adopt please consider a donation to her grant fund (click on her profile above and click donate, be sure to specify the $$ is for her!) She currently has ZERO in her account! It costs around $20,000 to complete an international adoption. Many families want to adopt and are more then able to raise special children like Mercy but they simply cannot afford the upfront cost of $20,000+ to get them home. So every penny helps!
If you think Mercy could be your daughter please contact Reece's Rainbow!
Meet Anastasia (4)!
Anastasia is just a little over 18 months old. She was born in June 2009. She has a happy disposition (which is evident in her picture!) and will blossom in a family.
If she is not adopted SHE WILL REMAIN BEDRIDDEN FOR LIFE!
She badly needs physical and occupational therapies and possibly serial casting and surgery.
Her diagnoses include: Arthrogryposis (I'm assuming all limbs because it doesn't state otherwise), bilateral (both) dislocation of her hips (this is part of AMC), hydrocephalus, unspecified heart condition, unspecified iron deficiency anemia and Retarded development following protein-energy malnutrition.
Please don't this list of diagnoses scare you away from making this beautiful little girl apart of your family. Most if not all of her medical conditions are treatable and her quality of life will be good w/ treatment!

If you are not in a position to adopt please consider a donation to her grant fund (click on her profile above and click donate, be sure to specify the $$ is for her!) She currently has $1329 in her account! It costs around $20,000 to complete an international adoption. Many families want to adopt and are more then able to raise special children like Anastasia but they simply cannot afford the upfront cost of $20,000+ to get them home. So every penny helps!
If she is your daughter please contact Reece's Rainbow for more info on Anastasia and the adoption process!

Meet Doyle!
Doyle is a two and a half little boy with webbed and fused fingers and hands. This may be a form of Arthrogryposis but considering there are 400 types of AMC I am not sure which type it would be and its possible his diagnosis is not at all under the umbrella of AMC but none the less he needs a family to call his own! I have met plenty of kids w/ webbed/ fused finger at Shriners and hand surgeons are very gifted in doing surgery on these kiddos. Although I suspect many kids learn to function beautifully with their hands as they are.
There are more photos available of Doyle!
From one of our adoptive families who visited with him in February 2011: "Doyle is precious, loves attention, very smart, loves piano and type of music. He has a smile that will melt your heart. Even though he only has a few fingers on his right hand he still grabs and holds things. He walks. Lovely Lovely child! "
If you are not in a position to adopt please consider a donation to his grant fund (click on her profile below and click donate, be sure to specify the $$ is for him!) She currently has $18 in his account! It costs around $20,000 to complete an international adoption.

Gage has lost his Family
Gage had a family committed to adopt him but due to circumstances beyond their control they can't bring him home (trust me that decision was not made lightly!) and he needs a new family to commit to him ASAP. Gage is 5 years old and an orphan in Eastern Europe. He likely has Caudal Regression Syndrome which has causes his lower limbs to have joint contractures.
If you think you could be Gage's Family please contact Reese's Rainbow ASAP!
