How it all started......

We've all had those moments in life where we've felt a burning desire to help another. These moments can come in all different forms, mine was just a web page. One day when I was browsing on the internet I came across the site Reece's Rainbow, an International Down Syndrome Orphan Ministry. Almost immediately I felt an overwhelming sense of sadness for these children. The next thing I knew, my conscience was taking over. The questions started coming at a rapid pace. How did these kids end up here? What type of help are they receiving? What type of help can I provide?
Such questions as the first two were easy to answer with just a little research. The last one however proved to be more difficult.
It was too late to turn back. Those blue eyes had me hooked.
This is very scary, this whole process is completely new to me. And the circumstances are almost unbelievable for those of us who have had the blessing of knowing our families, let alone living with them. Sure I've had kids of my own, but this? Am I ready to have another child? I’m not a rash person; I had to ask myself such questions as these. But before I answered these questions, I asked myself “Was Victoria ready to have a family to call her own?" The answer to that question was, without a doubt, yes. I know this is right and that things will fall into place, however frightening things seem now. I cannot wait until Victoria comes home, I can’t wait to pick her up and tell her how much she is loved and that she will finally have a family of her very own that is always going to be there for her.
We so want to bring Victoria home so that she will never have to spend a day of her life in an institution because nobody wanted her.
I cannot wait to show her what it is like to have a family that loves her. Little Miss Victoria has a family and she will never be alone again.
