I have been tweeting & retweeting, posting and reposting about many of the angels waiting on Reece's Rainbow--. waiting for families.. every night that goes by and they do not have a family committed to them-- is a weight on my shoulders...one of the angels waiting is a beautiful little girl..waiting for her forever family...her name is Josephine ..she is so pretty and her picture cries out ..please someone help me:

She has $197 in her adoption fund so far.. Girl, Born December 2005
PLEASE MAMA COME FOR ME!
Josephine is a beautiful, high functioning, mobile, active, affectionate, intelligent little girl.
From her caregivers:   talks a lot but not very understandable; understands direct speaking to her; has independent living skills, active, communicative, may retell a short story, knows names of animals.
More photos available, married couples only.

There are so many just like her just waiting...waiting....
My hopes and prayers are that the more people that find out about Reece's Rainbow.. they will find it in their hearts to try to help these children some way some how...

Now the reason I started my blog...my little angel girl E-V who is approaching the big "3" in June...we have started the IEP process in one school district..then we will be transferring to another as we are planning ourto move... E-V always amazes me...when the therapists go through the questions of things she can or can't do ...its always great to throw in all of the extra things...like she is trying to imitate her big sister dancing..which is the cutest thing in the world...as she raises her hands in the air....and at one point even decided she was going to try to "drop it low"...lol...she imitates almost move for move certain songs/moves on various Barney video's...she doesnt even have to look at it and will be doing exactly what they are doing on the tv..hows that for memory skills? hehe...she tries to hop so hard...and even started making a sound that sounds like she is trying to say "hop..hop.hop" like they do in the Barney circus video...We have a childrens songs CD and as we drive to various appointments for her..we usually play this CD...which has amusing children songs...she loves :"Molly has a dolly who was sick ..sick..sick."..and copies various animal sounds she hears in the songs..its very cute...As we drive and all three of us adults are singing along..I always think at that time..we are like a movie I have seen where the family sings show tunes everywhere they drove to.....lol..makes me smile anyways...and can hardly wait for the day when she is singing along with us :) E-V loves to climb on things..shes our monkey...climbs on the coffee table...into her rocking chair..has tried to climb out of her pack and play (not successful yet luckily)...climbed into her sisters clothes tote and proceeded to climb out the other side..she was so funny..She has become more interested in playing with her gumball toy..she knows how to get the gumballs out by pulling the handle and also knows to put them back in the top so she can do it all over again..We have cool bath paints..where she can hug colors together ( I think I have more fun then she does) but she enjoys smooshing the colors together...She has really enjoyed having her big sister here and I have also...her favorite game with big sissy is pointing to her nose..and then she has to go around the room and point to everyone elses nose.. (and to think on her 6 month review we just got from her therapy place--- "can not identify body parts" hmm interesting... :) I have included a few updated pics of my littlest angel and the reason I have an interest in the children at Reece's Rainbow..she has inspired me..she has opened a door that I would have never gone through if I didn't have her...she is one of the biggest blessings in my life...both my girls are..both bringing to me more joy then one person could ever ask for .....
