There is a $3600 grant available to assist families who qualify with this adoption. In addition their country will reduce expenses in the $2300-$5200 range to help any family adopt these children, regardless of their income.
Think back to your most vulnerable childhood moments. Who stood by you? Who held you close and told you it would be okay? Who? Now, imagine those moments again. Alone. For many of the children RainbowKids advocates for the relationship with a brother or sister or both is the deepest, purist, longest sustained relationship they have in their lives. Their identity is rooted around this family unit. To deny these relationships is to invite an immense sense of grief, loss and isolation beyond what they are already feeling.
During the month of April, RainbowKids will be highlighting sibling groups through family stories and advocacy. We invite you to share your sibling adoption stories with us! While we wait for April to roll around please take a moment to read about this incredible sibling group who needs to escape the walls of an institution in Eastern Europe and start living the life they are meant to live with a forever family.
We have learned from mulitple sources that this sibling group from Eastern Europe (RainbowKids # 28376) is outstanding, anchored by a compassionate big sister who goes above and beyond in her school work so she can provide a future for her little brothers.
If the time is not right for you then PLEASE SHARE THIS ARTICLE with someone who might be ready to open their arms and home to the wonders of sibling adoption!
