This is Wendy, a little girl that is waiting for her “forever family” in an orphanage in the Ukraine. I find myself so drawn to her, and wish I were rich so I could just go and get her and bring her home. Wendy has some significant special needs, and faces an institution soon, where she may no longer have the option of being adopted. This breaks my heart. Wendy is listed on this website: Reece’s Rainbow , in the ‘Other Angels’ category. This site allows people to view waiting children and to donate toward their individual adoption fund accounts…as overseas adoption runs into alot of expense and holds a lot of potential parents back. If I came into money somehow, or could figure out a way to bring in a better income, then adopting Wendy or another of these children would be one of the very first things I would seek to do.
This is what is said about Wendy:
Wendy is a beautiful girl with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. She was born quite premature (not sure which gestational week, but it is listed as “4th stage”). She has CP and is completely blind, with congenital cataracts in both eyes, optic sub-atrophy, and microcephaly.
Despite all of these odds stacked against her, she is an orphanage favorite and is well loved. She will really blossom in a loving family, and learning to use her other senses will open up the world around her.
Wendy is already 3 1/2 now, and is facing the institution soon. She needs a family right away!

I think that Wendy would be such a blessing to have as my own. I think I’d learn a lot about new ways to view the world….people without sight are so in tune to things that sighted people overlook. I have learned how to use braille, and find it amazing. I’d love to help to open up Wendy’s world, and I know she’d open up mine.
If you find it in your heart to do so, please pray for Wendy and all of these little ones, and pass the word about them along to others. They are all so precious and deserve so much more out of life.
