Did you know?

Did you know that in other countries all over the world, there are children with Down syndrome left to die? In many countries, when a child with Ds is placed in an orphanage, they are transitioned to an institution at age Five. Five. FIVE. The same age Kennedy will be in May. If Kennedy had been born in the Ukraine, or in Russia or any other number of countries, she would probably have been given up and she would be getting ready to move to an institution right now. She wouldn't get medical treatment. She wouldn't be taken care of. She would essentially be left to die. Most children who are put into an institution die within the first year. They'll never get a chance to go to Kindergarten, to celebrate a birthday or Christmas, to know the love of a mommy and daddy. Can you imagine? I can't.

Take a look at some of these beautiful, precious kids who are right now in orphanges overseas... kids who WILL, if they're not adopted soon, go to live in one of these horrid institutions... where they WILL die. Then go to The Reece's Rainbow Blog to see even more kids... THEN go to the Reece's Rainbow Website to see what you can do to help. These children don't deserve this. No one does.
