Little Rocker

Randell loves music and AC/DC is one of his favorite bands. He was watching a video of a concert when Andrei joined him. Andrei loves music too and thought it was a lot of fun to "bang your head" just like the people in the video! Hope you enjoy it. : )

Just so you know, Andrei, your Aunt Karen WILL NOT buy you AC/DC stuff like she bought your Dad. He will just have to hand down his worn out AC/DC wallet to you. But...you are pretty cute! =) Tell your sister I LOVE her new haircut. She looks so grown-up!

"Grady"

Boy, Born May 14, 2007

SO happy to finally have new photos of Grady! He is just as adorable as I always thought. Blonde hair and bright blue eyes! What a snuggable and happy little boy! Grady was born with arthrogryposis of his lower limbs. His hands and arms are unaffected. He is not able to walk at this time. He is 3 now, and will so greatly benefit from surgery, therapy, and loving family to encourage him! Without this, he will remain bedridden for the rest of his life.

Grady is completely typically developing cognitively. He is described as very social and smart, talkative, playful, and active. He has no cognitive delays or speech problems whatsoever.

How to help?

We are so thankful to all of those who have donated towards our adoption. We are fully funded and have reached our $25,000 goal towards bringing Grady home.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation through Reece's Rainbow towards the many waiting children who need a home. Any further funding received towards our adoption on this sponsor page will be donated to a little girl with DS, Oksana, who is currently waiting for a family.

Thank you for all of you prayers, support and encouragement to bring our son home.

Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC)

"Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) is a congenital condition that occurs 1 in every 3,000 live births. It's characterized by multiple joint contractures. Joint contractures are when the joints don't have normal range of motion, they are stiff. Affected individuals usually also have muscle weakness. Every joint in the body can be affected including the jaw & back. The range of severity is very wide, some people don't look affected while others have to rely on a powerchair for mobility. Most individuals with AMC have normal intelligence. It is a non-progressive condition. There are about 400 types of AMC. Some types are sporadic in nature while others are genetic. Amyoplasia is the most common type affecting approx. 43% of all people with the diagnosis. This is a life-long condition but with quality treatment most individuals become independent adults. Treatment often includes serial casting & splinting to increase range of motion, physical & occupational therapy to strengthen muscles & surgery to correct more rigid deformities."
