MEET MASHA

No this is not Victoria, but this little girl needs a family too.  This little girl is going to be transferred to a very poor mental institute for adults.  Yes I said adults and yes she is only 4.  Four year olds don't belong with adults.  Please read this post that I copied from a family that is there with her right now.  They have seen, played, loved on her. 


Look for me on www.reecesrainbow.org under Other Angels 0-5years old
Do you see this precious angel? This is Masha and she is a girl who is in dire need of your help!! When I say dire I have never meant it more than I have today. Masha is in the same groupa as Carrington and just turned 4 years old. She has FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome) and is the sweetest little muffin. Do not by any means let the diagnosis of FAS scare you off as Brian and I were blessed yesterday to be able to interact with her for close to 15 minutes and in that time she dispalyed more skills and cognitive abilities than most children we have encountered. Oh my is she a complete doll with a great sense of humor and a smile that lit up the room. We started playing peek-a-boo and immediately she copied us and just giggled up a storm! She also was talking to us, in Russian, but nevertheless she was talking. Then I started blowing her kisses and she acted as if she was catching them then laughed out loud. The reason the picture is not all that great is because we are not allowed to take pictures so I was distracting the workers while Brian took the picture.

Ok, so this is where I need you and please just take 2 minutes to help. You see we just found out yesterday that Masha was getting her physical, not to give her general medical care, but to prepare her for transfer to the adult mental institution. The very same place that Reagan is in now. The very director who has never allowed one single adoption. The place where a small child will be left to lay around with no interaction or love. The place these children are sent to die. Masha is 4 years old yet she weighs about 13 pounds and is the same size as our little Carrington. Currently prayers are being sent up all over this world for our little Reagan as Monday will be the day we face the biggest mountain yet: the Director. This woman will determine whether or not Reagan will have the chance to know the love of a family and whether or not Reagan will even get to see her next birthday. We have every bit of faith God called us over here to bring Reagan home but our emotional distress is over Masha and her future. I am asking every one of you who reads our blog to please post this message and picture of Masha to find her family. She is to be transferred literally any day. This is not what God has in mind for these children so we are here to make sure it doesn't happen. Do not worry about the financial aspect; I am not asking for money right now. Please just find her a family and our family along with so so many others will find the finances. We are doing our very best to save every little penny from this adoption to send over to Masha's grant fund along with several other families who are also pledging support. All I am asking is to spread the word via email, Facebook, and that twitty bird thing. Listen, this year I will turn 40 and those of you who know me know just how much I LOVE birthdays but this year I don't want presents or a party, I just want you to please post this about Masha. If you would do this would you please leave a message in the comment box that simply says "Happy Birthday" and together we will make this a happy birthday for both Masha and I.

Please check out this other blog and what another adoptive mother had to say about sweet Masha.  She just wrote this in January.
