Grab This Button
This is Aleksey. Isn't he beautiful? I know I should say handsome, but he is just too perfect for anything but beautiful. He was in danger of being sent away to an institution because he was born with spina bifida. Here in the US, he will be part of a wonderful family who will provide him with the special care he will need. I have had a soft spot for this little guy since I first saw his picture. He is the boy Gavin chose(without my influence) to receive his birthday donations. My sister, Bonnie and her grandson, Thatcher, were both born with spina bifida. Bonnie had many surgeries and struggles, but she has led a happy and pretty "normal" life. Thatcher had a rough start before his condition was diagnosed and ended up with meningitis and a long hospital stay. Now he is a healthy, walking, talking, potty trained little 5-yr. old. I cannot begin to imagine either Bonnie or Thatcher having to grow up in an orphanage. Praise God, Aleksey won't either! Please pray for Aleksey and his family as they work to complete his adoption. If you are able to help financially, please consider making a donation.
