Praying for 2 kids to find families

I've been praying for a couple of little guys & thought I'd share them with you - they've managed to grab my & Super Lu's heart over the last 5-6 months as they wait to be adopted.  We are praying that they will find a family soon & that they will excel where they are currently receiving care.  Their names are Kenny & Calvin (not related at all).  And I do have permission to share this!!

Here's Kenny!
























And Calvin!
























Don't they look like awesome boys!?!  

Too bad we have to be age 35 or older to adopt them.  Part of the difficulty in finding them some willing parents is that they are both HIV+ and there is still a lot of stigma, stereotypes & fear out there around this disease - which is now considered a chronic but manageable condition (huge potential for a full & healthy life).  So if you know of anyone who might be interested, you can learn a little bit more about them at Reece's Rainbow on THIS page.  Or if you want to give a few dollars toward their adoption (or sign up to pray for a child with special needs), check out the website!

Or if you want to know more about the growing movement of families adopting children with HIV, check out Project Hopeful.
