Love for Kids with Dwarfism

    Today, I have the honor of introducing you to several kids who are available for adoption and who have been diagnosed with some form of dwarfism.  Some prefer the term "little people" to refer to people with one of more than 200 conditions that cause short stature. Please help share these kids and help them get home soon! Some of the search terms to try on Reeces Rainbow are Dwarfism, Achondroplasia, nanism, and chondrodysplasia.  On a side note, there have been several young children with these diagnoses listed on Reeces Rainbow, but they have been blessed to be matched with a family quickly. If that is your heart, keep checking back often!
      First, meet Grady who lives in Asia and has been diagnosed with chondrodysplasia dwarfism. Grady turns 12 this month and has just 2 years to find a forever family before his birth country considers him to be too old to be adopted. Please read more about Grady at http://reecesrainbow.org/77038/grady-2.
    Next, meet Zeke who lives in Eastern Europe and will turn six next month.  Zeke has been diagnosed with several conditions including dwarfism.  Zeke has the advantage of a detailed description from people who have spent significant time with him and a grant of $2091 to help with his adoption costs. Please read more at http://reecesrainbow.org/38452/zeke-l.
  Next, this is Emery in Eastern Europe. His diagnosis is "nanism of somatogenic genesis" which roughly means short stature caused by something internal. Emery is seven and you can read more about him at http://reecesrainbow.org/70008/emery.
   Next, this is ten year old Sadler who lives in a different country in Eastern Europe. Sadler is described as "good natured" and is available for adoption.  Read more at http://reecesrainbow.org/77914/sadler-1049.
  Finally, meet Yasmine who is also ten and lives in Eastern Europe. She is very motivated to move and interact despite some medical limitations. A family and therapy would help her meet her full potential. Read more at http://reecesrainbow.org/1717/yasmine1803.
