Love for Kids with Microcephaly

      Today I"d like to introduce you to some kids with a diagnosis of microcephaly or
microcephalus.  These terms refer to a condition in which the circumference of the head is smaller than average.  There are many potential causes of microcephaly.  All of the children featured today are available for adoption and waiting for a family!
      First up is a sibling pair who live in Eastern Europe. Lucy and Linus (internet nicknames are given to protect privacy) are 7 and 5 years old and have a list of diagnoses which includes microcephaly. They currently live in the same orphanage and have an emotional bond. Adopting them as a sibling set would ensure that they can live together forever. You can read more at http://reecesrainbow.org/59905/lucy-and-linus.




   Next, meet Gideon who is 12 or 13 and lives in a different country in Eastern Europe. Gideon has the benefit of a description on his profile written by someone who spent significant time interacting with him.  Please read more about him at http://reecesrainbow.org/70012/gideon-2 and help find his family.
       This next cutie is Michael who lives in Asia and had a rough start to his life.  He's ready for a new chance with his forever family.  Please read more about Micheal at http://reecesrainbow.org/46761/michael-2.
   Finally, meet Janelle who desperately needs medical care.  She is seven years old, but is described as the size of 6-9 months old. Janelle has a very large grant of $9,317.87! This will be a big head start for her new family. Please read more at http://reecesrainbow.org/9343/janelle4104.
