Congratulations Bethany and Paul!
We are proud to inform you that we have found four children that would love to be part of your family!
Devin Stiofán (16 years old) comes from Ireland. He has down syndrom and needs a lot of care. His parents couldn't cope with him and he grew up in a special needs childrens home. He is now one of the oldest and they are looking for a home for him where he can live and who know who to deal with down syndrom. He is good at reading and writing but he loves to knit best. He has been working in a workshop and tried out different things and it would definantly be good if there was one he could go to.
Sophie Flora (13 years old) and Annie Marian (8 years old) are sisters from England. Their single mother has taken a job in Cambodia and doesn't want to take the girls. This is very hard for the girls and especially Sophie isn't taking it well. She feels she has to be the "big one" and look after Annie, but Annie seems to be doing better. Sophie is very shy and introverted but if she finds someone she trusts, she will lighten up everyone around her. Annie is a little tomboy, maybe to overplay her real feelings. She doesn't want to be "mothered", but taken seriously. They are both getting counseling and especially need a woman they can look up to and trust.
Russel Howard (5 years old) is from London. He was found by social services when he was 3 years old in a deserted flat. They don't know much about him, as he doesn't talk about that time. He is doing fine now and is ready for a family. He still wakes up at night sometimes and has nightmares. He should definantly see a psychologist. He likes to play with other children.
We hope that you get along well with them, we would love to hear how it went.
Yours,
Rainbow House

Thank you!
Hi Rainbow House! We're all doing great here and would like to take a moment to thank you for everything you have done for us and tell you about how the kids are doing!
Devin is is such a sweetie. Our neighbours, who we are very close to, have a 15 year old girl with downs so we're pretty expierienced with dealing with downs. He really is a friendly and trusting boy, he's lovely! When he told us about his knitting we decided to set aside a special little place for him to knit. Its in a bay window looking over the river, with a rocking chair and there are shelves and shelves full of brightly coloured wool. I've never seen such a happy child! The look on his face when we showed him the area was priceless. He's right this very second knitting the cutest little jumper for Immy. She'll look so sweet! He's going to a group with Rachel (our neighbour with DS) and he's made a lot of friends. They go swimming, take pottery classes, do woodwork, play basketball, do dancing and once a week they go horse-riding at a special stables for disabled children.
Sophie is doing as well as can be expected. She's still very quiet and introverted but she's beginning to open up to me. We gave her the attic (don't worry its fully converted!) to sleep in and it has a little living area and ensuite bathroom. We want her to know that we're not pressuring her into becoming best friends and giving her some freedom. Its important that she comes to us and recently she has been. Instead of spending her days sitting on her windowseat looking at the view she now comes down and helps around the house. She's taking quite a shine to little Immy and likes to look after her.
Annie is doing super! She loves being a big sister to Rebecca and Imogen. Rebecca loves having a big sister just as much!
