Four More Pieces For Vytas

I am amazed at the love people are showing for "my" Vytas!  Right after I published my last post yesterday Alyssa G shared with me the link I had shared on Blessed By Blessings Facebook page that had two comments below the link.  It was someone who let their daughters donate $10 each which meant they bought 4 pieces total of the puzzle for Vytas!  Oh words can't even begin to describe my happiness!  I was thrilled!  That's a $30 so far raised for my sweet blonde boy!!

Thank you Landry and Kennedy for donating money to Vytas!  His adoption grant is growing!  I've put your names on the back of four puzzle pieces.  One day he'll read those names and know who helped save his life and loved him first.  When he thought no one did.  :)   Thank you very much!!

Let's keep making his grant GROW everyone!  Share this blog and visit my fundraiser page to learn more.  :) 

Blessings,

One Step Closer

My sweet mother donated $10 to "my" sweet boy's adoption grant fund on Reece's Rainbow a few days ago.  Which means she bought two pieces of the puzzle for Vytas!   I can't thank her enough for donating!  It means the world to me that she cares so much for him.  :)   

She was the very first to donate in this fundraiser that I've had up for almost a week.  It made my day!  It might have even made my whole week! :)  

And here is the two pieces my mom bought!  I wrote her name on the back of each one.  I can't wait to send it to Vytas one day when he has his forever family!  They'll always know who helped their little boy and who loved him before they came along.   

Please if you want to help baby Vytas other than praying donate $5 to his adoption grant then go to Vytas's Puzzle Fundraiser page then comment how much you donated and your name, then I'll write your name on the piece of the puzzle! :) 

Dear Vytas..A Valentine's Day Letter

Dear Vytas,


Hello sweet blonde.  I've been thinking of you a lot lately. I look at your photo everyday and pray for you several times a day.  I know that you're being watched by the one and only heavenly Father.
Today, is Valentine's Day.  And as some would call it "Single Awareness day" or "Worst day ever" or whatever, no one really knows how you must be feeling on this special day.  It's actually no different than any other old day in the orphanage to you.  It's another day of feeling unloved, and sad.  It's another day of wondering if the nannies will bring you a photo and begin teaching you how to say "mama" and "papa" to loving parents coming to your rescue.  
It must be heartbreaking to see other children learn those things, then be busted out of the orphanage for good while you stay in your crib wondering when your time will come.

I know most people would think I'm totally insane to think inside of your shoes but you have feelings, and you know there is a missing piece to the puzzle of your life.  I know you do.  And I would give anything to give you love.  It's something I want so badly to do.  

Tonight I logged onto my Facebook page and saw that my mom had shared my puzzle fundraiser for you. I clicked on the link to see if anyone had donated and discovered my mom had donated $10 to buy two pieces to your puzzle! <3  It made my night to know she willing thought of you all on her own and wanted to give you love and show you kindness.

I know you don't know this know little Vytas but you are already so loved.  By this girl here in the US.
With that being said...I have just one question for you..

Will you be my Valentine sweet boy? 

Will you allow me to think of you on this special day with all that I do.   Baby boy, I truly believe in my heart that this will be the last Valentine's Day alone in the orphanage.  And I pray it will be so.  

Until your forever family comes, you're forever and always my Valentine Vytas! <3

I love you!

Puzzle Fundraiser for Vytas

I found this cute fundraiser idea from my one of my best friends Alyssa.   It's a puzzle fundraiser,

Here's how it works, soon as I can I'll have Vytas's donation button on the side bar, and when you make a donate of $5 or more to his adoption grant box you can comment with your name below this post.  Then I will take a piece of the puzzle and write your name on the back of a puzzle piece.  Once I've had 24 donations I'll keep the puzzle up somewhere safe until Vytas has a family and is home forever with them, then I'll send it to him and the parents will be able to keep it and show him the kind peoples names that helped bring him home to happiness. <3 

Let me show you guys the puzzle and explain to you why I chose it.  When I saw Vytas I wanted to jump right into fundraising. And I thought I would try this.  Before I stepped foot into a store to look for a puzzle I already knew what I wanted it to be, a Whinnie the Pooh puzzle!  I can just see little Vytas watching the movies, and listening to the stories of wonderful classic Pooh Bear!  It was my favorite thing as a child! (Well..that and Blue's Clues! ;) )  So I've chosen this one for him <3 

Click this link to go to his profile and make a donation..and come back to comment under this post so I can add your name!

So go ahead and make your donation to help a beautiful little orphan oversea with Down syndrome.  And please share, you never know, you could know his mommy or daddy..or you might even be them! ;) <3 

Also keep this fundraiser and Vytas in your prayers please, I know God has very special plans for this little boy. 

Meet Vytas

Meet my cute new blonde boy, Vytas!  Little sweet Lianne quickly was listed on the "My Family Found Me" page yesterday!  It didn't take long before I feel in love all over again with this little guy!  

Vytas kept on showing up almost everywhere the last time I was in search of my next mission.  And I kind of pushed it away once I set my eyes on Lianne, now that she has a family though I went on yet another search today.  When I saw his sweet face, I paused and looked into his eyes for a few moments.  Then kept scrolling, but the whole time he never left my mind.  He just stuck there in my head.  I read his description and my heart broke.  I wanted only to help him.   

When I look at him, I don't see the child the world see's.  I see a beautiful little boy with SO much potential.  A boy that only needs lots of love and attention.  He is starving for it!  Just look at his photos...

This poor guys is just sobbing.  My arms ache to hold him and comfort him.  To tell him he is loved, he's special, he's important and he does matter.  <3  He's just so beautiful...

 And another photo of him, I wish I had one of him smiling but I can't blame him for not smiling, what he lives in is no place to make you want to smile.  No hugs, kisses, love, good food, warm comfy bed or special treats like painting, playing ball, hide and seek, like most almost five year old boys do/have.

  

If this doesn't tug and your heart and bring tears to your eyes I don't know what will.  This is real.  He's a real boy crying for love and attention.  I want SO BADLY to give it to him!  I want to wrap my arms around this child.  Kiss his chubby cheeks. Run my fingers through his thing hair and whisper the words "I love you" in his hear.  Oh I'm crying at just the thought of giving him just that much. I've only known this boy for a short time but I feel like he could be my son.  (I'm only seventeen and do not plan on having children any time soon but my love for kids is huge, and I come from a large family so it's only natural for me to think like a mother.) 

This is Vytas...my blonde boy that I am madly in love with!  <3  

He is my mission!  I am his Prayer Warrior!  I will find him a forever family and bring him home!  And I hope that one day, I will get to hold him my arms! <3 

Here's his Reece's Rainbow description 

Boy, born April 2008
Down syndrome

Vytas has beautiful eyes and blond hair.  He wasn’t really happy about having his picture taken.  He is sitting in a walker, so it’s possible he’s not yet walking on his own yet.

From a family who met him, Oct 2012:
Vytas needs someone to love him!  He cried when I first held him but once he felt the warmth of a mama he just melted. I am sure he was upset because he and Orion shared a one seater stroller and they were both so crammed, literally on top of each other. Had I not taken him out of the stroller, he would have never gotten out I am sure of it. I am sure that they don’t get to wander about like the other kids. I am not even sure if he can walk. He had sores on his hands and I am sure it is his way to self soothe, to bite or chew on his hands. He just needs love! Beautiful little boy! Let’s find him a family because I am sure he will shine even brighter, he has a lot of light to give!

Married couples only, travel required.  Large families welcome!
