New pictures of our girl!

They shaved my baby girls head!!! Why oh why? 

But she is still beautiful!

I was very surprised to find these in my email this morning.

We were told that we would not get any

more information or pictures of Anna until

we were further along in the paper chase!

Oh how I needed to see these :)

I have been on cloud 9 since this morning,

despite this awful migraine I am sporting!!

Make a donation today- ENDED

Come ooooooon, you know you want one!!!     We are taking donations to help bring Anna home.  Anastasia is a 5 year old orphan with Down syndrome, who lives in an orphanage in Eastern Europe.  She was sent to the orphanage at 17 days old where she has remained. In EE, Orphans with disabilities are tucked away in orphanages and marked by society as worthless human beings.  Around the age of 4-5 they are transferred to a "insane asylum" where they will live out their days in a crib or bed and possibly tied down.

How can you help save this precious little life? If you make an online DONATION you will recieve a hot pink awareness bracelet with "Saving Anna" imprited on it.  We will also put your name in our give away:
1- Apple Ipad 16gb with Wi-fi

1 - Apple Ipod touch

1 - $100

Please share our link with your family and friends through Facebook, email, etc.  If your friends or family make a donation, have them mention your name and we will add your name to the give away again! 

We have got to raise some serious money my friends!!  If you are able, make a donation of $5 and we will send you a bracelet with "Saving Anna" on it and also put your name in once.   Want to donate more?  Donate $25 or more and we will put your name in the give away 25 TIMES!!!  Just click on the chip in button to the right to make a secure online payment through PayPal.  You can also make a tax deductible donation by donating through Reece's Rainbow.  Just click on the picture of Anna that says"Help us bring her home" and it will take you to the RR website where you can safely make an online donation or get instructions to mail a donation.  PLEASE be sure to mention "Anastasia for the Williams family" in order for the donation to go directly to Anastasia, otherwise they have no idea who the donation is for.  Also, you must send me an email to enter your name in the drawing if you make a tax deductible donation through Reece's rainbow, as I have no way of knowing who donated to our fundraiser.  Thank you for considering helping us to bring this precious girl home where she will have a loving family who will love and cherish her!  And most importantly, remember us in your prayers!  Thank you and God bless you.

Thirty One party fundraiser

My good friend Shawn who is also a co-worker recently started selling Thirty one products.  As a fundraiser for Anastasia, Shawn will be hosting a party for me.  Dear, gracious Shawn will be donating her commission from the party towards Anastasia's adoption fund.  How cool is that?  If you are interested and are local, my party will be at our home on June 24th at 6:30 pm.  If you aren't local but would like to make a purchase to help us raise money for Anastasia you can go to this link Thirty one and click on "my events" and then "Traci's fundraiser".  Thanks for looking and please continue to keep us in your prayers.

Here are a few samples of designs that they have currently~

Can you help us rescue Anna?

Our family is trying to raise money to bring home a sweet orphan with Down syndrome named Anastasia.  She recently turned 5 years old and we are in fear that she will be transferred to an institution if we can't get to her fast enough.  To read about our plans to adopt Anastasia go to the post following this one.


We need to raise $30,000.  Yes that's right $30,000 fat smackers. **Remember, no donation is too small***  I don't look at this like we are "paying" for a child.  As someone stated on another adoption blog, the money we have to raise is like a ransome that we have to pay in order to rescue her.  God tells us :   Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27  So see, God wants us to take care of the orphans.  Can you please help us?  You may not be in a place to adopt and we realize that we as a family can't save them all.  BUT we can save one and you can be a part of that rescue mission!



Okay here is how the fundraiser will work.  Remember, no donation is too small!  Donate $5 and we will send you  an awareness bracelet with "Saving Anna" on it and also put your name in one time in the drawing.  If you donate $25 we will put your name in the give away 25 times (yes 25!!) After the bracelet sale is over on August 31, you will be entered in our giveaway for the following:
1 - Apple Ipad 16 gb with wi-fi
1- Ipod touch
1- $100 cash

You can donate by clicking on the ChipIn button to the right OR you can make a tax deductable donation by clicking on the Photo at the top right that says "Anna, help us bring her home".  If you make a tax deductable donation please make sure that you mention Anastasia for the Williams family so that they will know who the donation is going for.  ***Also if you donate through Reece's Rainbow for a tax deducation you will need to email me and let me know so that I can enter your name in the give away for the Ipad, Ipod touch and $100.  Everyone who donates online will receive a hot pink awareness bracelet with "Saving Anna" imprinted on it.

There is one more way to have your name in the give away!  If you spread the word about Anastasia's rescue mission to your friends, family, coworkers, etc and they donate YOU will have another entry for the give away!!!  Tell them to mention your name when they donate so that I can give you another chance.  Even if you aren't able to donate please pass the word on and you can still be entered for the drawing by your friends donation.  We also ask for your prayers that God will guide us on this journey and provide a way for Anna to be free!!  Thank you!!



The give away for the Ipad and other prizes will be on August 31, 2010.
