Donation Day and Happy Tears!!

Today is Donation Day folks so just sacrifice one trip to Starbucks and it helps bring a child closer to finding a family or in Copeland's case now home!!

So as you know I added the cutest little guy to our pack of boys, lol! Caius is a cutie and we will work hard to grow his funds until his family steps out in faith to commit to bringing him home. I will be praying for this everyday I am on that treadmill doing my 2 miles. If you would like to donate also to Caius account click on the link: http://reecesrainbow.org/52627/caius

I also got to donate this week to Copeland's account including his back funds I was saving until his family was announced. Guess what? His family was announced yesterday, and can you believe that Copeland's forever family will be seriously just down the road. Like 5 to 10 minutes down the road. I cried, Happy tears! I have preyed for this little guy since he was listed. I prayed that he would find his forever family and sometimes even prayed asking if my family was his family. I have to say that I was so excited when Copeland was chosen to be someone's son, but I was slightly sad it was not me. Can I just say that the fact that his new forever family lives right down the road could only be a God thing. I think it is the next best thing then having him for a son, having him for a neighbor!!! I will continue my prayers and donations for Copeland until he is safe in his mama and daddy's arms.

If you would like to follow their journey and continue to donate so they can get Copeland home as soon as possible this is the link to their blog: http://thebuhmanbunch.blogspot.com/ . I will get to introduce myself to the Buhman family next weekend at our Oregon/Washington Reece's Rainbow meetup!!

Also to add just another tidbit of exciting news!! Last night I also learned that I am going to be an Aunt again! So excited for my brother and sister in-law. A baby to spoil and perfect timing since we just moved back to town! I had a great Friday for sure.

Hi Kelly, I'm Copeland's mom. I apologize for not writing sooner. I got the flu two days after we committed. Which is also why I hadn't updated our blog until tonight. I can't wait to meet you at the RR function. And Lauren will be there too.
