Matching Mondays

Reece's Rainbow is a group that recently received some press via the generosity of the actress, Patricia Heaton who pledged to donate money for every person who followed Reece's Rainbow on Facebook.  Reece's Rainbow seeks to find homes for children with Down's Syndrome and other medical conditions, especially in countries where there literally is no hope for these children.  Children with these disabilities face instituionalization in mental hospitals, being bed bound for life, and being cast out onto the streets as teens.    Reece's Rainbow not only advocates for kid but also establishes grants to help fund the adoptions of such kids.  Right now, there are several kids who have large grants to offset their adoption costs, as in grants ranging from $5, 000 to $16, 000.  If you are considering a special needs adoption, Reece's Rainbow is definitely worth the look.
