These two babies in the pictures are not babies at all. The girl is 12 years old. That's right..12!! She is sitting in a baby bouncer and she weighs 11 pounds! Most babies are born at 11 pounds! The boy is 6 years old and he weighs 12 pounds. Again...12 pounds! I don't even know how these two children are alive! But this is the sad fact about what happens to kids if they are not adopted while they are in the baby house and are transferred to institutions at ages 4 to 6 years old. The good news is these two children were in institutions that still allowed adoption (most do not allow adoptions once they are transferred) and they do have families coming for them! But there are thousands just like them sitting in a bed day after day after day..dying. And the sad fact is that all the kids on Reeces Rainbow that are not adopted will end up like these two kids.Here is a link to a wonderful site that has a video of what happens to these babies if they are not adopted by age 4 to 6 years old and where they go. It is a long video but you can skip to 24 min and see the institution. The laying down room where a lot of these kids end up. It is heart breaking to say the least! So please say a prayer that all these kids on Reece's Rainbow to find homes and if you can donated anything that will also help!! This website is run by a wonderful person who went to Russia to volunteer at the orphanages and she fell in love with so many wonder babies and she advocates for them to find Mommy's and Daddy's! Here is her link..
