This is Tonya. She's turning 5 years old soon, and if there isn't a family committed to her, she'll be transferred to the institution, where she will quickly loose every skill she has and, like many kids with Down syndrome, will quickly succumb to dehydration, malnutrition, and hypothermia. Please go here to read Tonya's full story. Maybe YOU are not in a position to adopt, but if you put this on your blog, someone who IS might read it!
She is SO pretty. I love her new picture.
ReplyDeleteBTW- Does your friend that you're helping bring home her kids from Bulgaria have a blog?
