This is the blog of another Reece's Rainbow family. This is a glimpse of the profound ramifications of being an orphan with special needs in some parts of the world.
At sixteen years old, this boy is the size of a five year old. At sixteen years old, his cognitive level is that of a baby even though he should not have been this way because of the special needs he was born with. A life of neglect is the culprit in what you can see in his pictures and videos.
Human development requires more than food and shelter.
Please say a special prayer for healing for Tommy and all of the orphaned children that right now, at this very moment, are suffering from abuse and neglect.
Tommy has been adopted, but countless others are starving while we enjoy our meals, lonely as we hug our loved ones, and physically attacked as we take our safety and comfort for granted.
They are ignored day after day and year after year as we enjoy one another's company, interacting as much or as little as we desire with the many people we encounter at home, work, and church.
"How is this possible?" we think. Someone has to feed them, dress them, monitor them.
That's true to some degree, but they don't have to care. See for yourself.
