Taste the Rainbow

I'm all tapped out of topics, other than the ones I'm saving for a day when I have time to do the requisite research and have the time and energy to do them justice.

I went about trying to find something Down syndrome related about which to write and I wound up over at Reece's Rainbow.  If you haven't heard of Reece's Rainbow, head over and check it out.

There are many, many children with Down syndrome waiting to be adopted.  Not here in the US, really, as there's a waiting list for babies with Down syndrome, but overseas, particularly in Eastern Europe.

Some of the countries are particularly bad places to be born with a disability.  Bulgaria for one.  If you haven't yet heard the story of Katie, check out The Blessing of Verity and read up.  She was a tiny, malnourished 9 year old when she came home, no bigger than a newborn.  Today she is thriving in her family home.  The transformation is amazing.

The best part of Reece's Rainbow is their fundraising.  They raise money with a Paypal button.  The money you spend on Starbucks could be used to offset adoption costs instead.

Suddenly pumpkin spice lattes aren't so important, huh.
