So, I have been MIA for a while.  But it has been super busy.  Jayson has a new job which means he travels quite a bit and I am home with the three crazies!  Also, we just moved.  But, I figured I should come out of hiding for a very important cause.  There has been a little girl on my mind and heart lately.  Meet Tamara…

 From an adoptive mom who met sweet Tamara a few months ago…There is another little girl we met while we were there. I heard her called by another name (probably her birth name) at the orphanage but Reece’s Rainbow has listed her as “Tamara”. We actually wanted to adopt this little girl too. We felt confident we could handle her special needs along side Zeph’s. She is completely mobile. She is smart. She not only talks – she can sing and dance and she can recite lines in a play. We SAW her do this! She was smiling a lot. She was all dolled up for her little play. Then we got a real treat and saw her playing on the playground with her groupa! She kept looking at us and coming up to us and smiling and was very inquisitive.  To read more check out the blog here. I REALLY want to see her in a family soon, especially before being transferred to a mental institution-where she does NOT belong.  I am praying there is a family (homestudy ready or, better yet, already adopting another child from Ukraine) who would consider adopting sweet Tamara too.  I have never done any kind of fundraising on my blog before, but for this precious one, it is worth a try.  So, for every $5 donated into her RR account here (which will be available to cover adoption expenses for whoever steps up to adopt her) I will enter your name into a drawing.  (Just let me know on here so I can enter you… $5-1 entry, $10-2 entries, $15-3 entries-you get the idea)  You can also receive an additional entry for sharing about this fundraiser on facebook, blogs, twitter, whatever.  Again, just let me know so I can enter you.  And what might you win???? Well, beautiful items from Uganda, of course!  I have several UG sling purses as well as some paper bead necklaces and bracelets available.  Or, if you would just like to buy an item from me ($20 for purses or necklaces) then PLEASE let me know and I will put all of the money made right into Tamara’s RR account.  I desperately want to see A LOT more money raised so that whoever her family is can have less to worry about as far as adoption expenses.  We all can afford to donate $5, but Tamara CANNOT afford to be forgotten.  My heart hurts to think of what might happen to her if she is transferred, but I have no doubt that she would thrive in a family and bring so many blessings to those around her.  I will announce the winner on May 6th
