GREAT NEWS, MATTHEW HAS A FAMILY!!!!

Advocacy works!

After YEARS of waiting on an impersonal list it took only 48 hours after an advocacy post for Matthew to be matched with his family!

These kids are sooooo much more than two lines of medical information.  They are beautiful human beings ready to give and receive love. They are not "files" or "cases" or "a walking special needs diagnosis" and they deserve better than being a number on a list. The deserve better than to wait needlessly while their childhood is lost to institutions.

Sigh, I know you all get it.

Thanks to everyone who helped spread the word.

Matthew has lots to smile about today!!!!!!!!!!

HEARTFELT CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LUCKY FAMILY WHO IS ADOPTING THIS GORGEOUS LITTLE GUY!

And a big ole at a boy to the readers of this blog who got the word out.  In 48 hours you helped Matthew find his family!  

And, Leah's file is locked and I'm prayerfully hoping she too will have a family soon.  

Owen still needs a family, so keep up the good work dear blog followers, let's not leave one behind!
