Henry meets his family!

Remember Henry? Well his family just met him for the first time! And they posted new pictures!

He is so little (about the size of a newborn) so they look forward to "fattening him up a bit."

From his mom, Carla, "He is beautiful and I am in love."

Baby and Daddy!

They could still use our support! Right now Henry is struggling with bronchitis, and they are hoping he's released back to the orphanage so they can spend more time with him. They are also not 100% of the way done fundraising. To help, please visit their blog: Bringing Henry Home!

Meet Sandra!!!!!!

Isn't she adorable!!



She sounds like she has received STELLAR care thus far considering she is an orphan!

DOB: 2006
Diagnosis: Arthrogryposis

Sandra has had surgeries on both Achilles Tendons to straighten her feet. She has braces for her hands. She is under the care of an orthopedic doctor, receives physical therapy, gymnastics and massage therapy. Sandra can sit with support, crawl, and sit unassisted on her knees. She can reach for a toy and manipulate them. She can move around in a walker.

Sandra is described as "very talkative and inquisitive". She is alert, makes eye contact and is active.

Meet Ria

This is Ria, the queen of saying "cheese!" Just imagine this beauty with long, flowing hair! Ria is six years old, born April 2005, and available for an older child grant. She has arthrogryposis with no other stated diagnoses. (They put her condition as "congenital mutiple arthrogryposis," but that is just arthrogryposis, aka joint contractures.) Her description on Reece's Rainbow identifies her joint contractures as being in her shoulders, knees, ankles and wrists. So perhaps her elbows, fingers, etc. are not affected at all. She can stand, walk with assistance, grab objects, throw objects and go from sitting to standing without assistance! She could be a role model for some of these kids with arthrogryposis still learning to do those things! Ria is described as social, smart, self-sufficient, independent, musical and well-spoken. She would make an excellent addition to any family!

Meet Raymond

This is Raymond! This birthday boy just turned four this month (July), and he needs a family to give him a party hat and some cute glasses to make him the most adorable four-year-old ever! Raymond is in the same orphanage with Igor. His hands and wrists look good so they *may* not be affected, or at least not require a lot of intervention. As far as his lower extremities, with some Ponseti casting and physical therapy he's in a good position for walking and standing!

Besides arthrogryposis, Raymond also has optic atrophy (mild or severe vision loss, and possible trouble with colors) and he's cross-eyed. For support for optic atrophy go here.

If you can envision this little man with the cute glasses in your family (available to large families too!) please contact Reece's Rainbow.

Patrick has a family!!!!!!
