The Jast Family is made of John, Kelsey, and their 6 children. After having 3 biological children, they adopted their youngest domestically almost 3 years ago. That started an incredible journey for them that they know God had planned from the beginning. While navigating all the medical things their newly adopted daughter needed, they learned about the great need for families for kids who have special needs. They soon found Reece's Rainbow and adopted 2 older boys from Eastern Europe. The boys have been an incredible addition and are settling nicely into family life. They are a joy to not only their family but to the entire community of people they have been placed in! While adopting them, the Jast family knew they would be going back because the need is too great and they have more room at their table. They believe each of these kids, no matter their need, deserve a family of their own. They are ready and excited to bring another child into their family and see how God is going to provide yet again. With adopting for the 3rd time in 3 years, they know it will be tough but they also know when God calls you to act, he always provides exactly what you need right when you need it. They are so grateful to everyone who has come alongside them the last few years and look forward to sharing this journey with you yet again!
In the fall of 2014 Tasha saw Derrick's photo for the first time, and instantly fell in love. She felt in her heart that he was their son. At the time, adoption wasn't an option due to the traveling component of Jeff's job, but Tasha began praying.
A year later the Schlittenharts began the process to bring their daughter home from China, but Tasha never stopped loving and praying for Derrick to find a family, either theirs or someone else's. After Norah came home, they discovered she had a life threatening heart defect and secondary lung condition, and they spent the last year and a half getting her through open heart surgery and other life saving procedures. Thankfully, Norah is now healthy and doing well, and the Schlittenharts feel the time has finally come to bring Derrick home after 3 long years of loving and praying for him!
My name is Heather: Steve and I have been together for 7 years! We have a biological daughter, Zee, who is almost 4 and an adopted daughter from China, Mal, (listed here on Reeces Rainbow as Adeline) that is 5. I have always wanted to adopt a child and after a bit of convincing, Steve got on board and we came home with Mal in June of 2015. We knew when we came home from China with Mal that we would adopt again!
Our family is happy to announce we are adopting another beautiful little girl, and Mal and Zee are thrilled to have a new sister. The girls are already making a list of toys to share with her and arguing who will sleep in the top bunk! Tesia (we haven't decided on a new name yet) will get all the love and care she needs here with us and we are hoping that our 1 in a million girl will love us as much as we already love her!
Chris and Tia have been married for 8 years. They are over the moon excited to adopt a beautiful baby boy from Eastern Europe. They already have an amazing 15-year-old daughter named Morgan.
Morgan plays soccer at the High School she attends and is involved in several clubs in the school. This past summer Morgan Volunteered at a Non-Profit Hospital which happens to be where Chris and Tia both work. Chris is the Communications/Technology Manager and Tia works in Patient Financial Service.
A Few months ago, Tia learned about Reece's Rainbow from another RR family. The more Chris and Tia learned the more their hearts were breaking for all the children. The minute they saw Corin's sweet face everything changed for both of them. They both knew that was their son and they had to bring him home.
Chris, Tia and Morgan cannot wait for this baby boy to be in their family to shower him with LOVE.

The Wilkinsons have been in the process to adopt for a little over a year. Jeremy is enlisted in the US Army and Elizabeth works PRN as an occupational therapy assistant. Through the week, Elizabeth homeschools their children and Jeremy has formerly coached the girls' soccer team and helped with their son's football team. Through the process they have felt called to adopt a child with down syndrome. They have 2 daughters, ages 6 & 7, and a son who is 14. When things weren't proceeding through domestic/foster care, they decided to look into international adoption. They received a profile on their little guy but decided to hold off until funds were available. Finally, they were able to move forward and found his file on Reece's Rainbow! Their entire family is over-joyed at the thought of bringing him home as soon as possible!!
Caleb and Lisa Howard have been contemplating adoption since late 2015. After finding out Lisa was pregnant with baby #3 in 2016, adoption got pushed to the wayside. In early 2017, Lisa joined the Reese's Rainbow facebook group and her heart was again opened to adoption. She showed Caleb child after child, but none seemed to fit in to their family. When an advocate for Reese posted his information, they inquired about him. After much prayer and consideration, Caleb and Lisa decided God was opening the doors for them to adopt Reese! They are anxious to bring him home to meet their 3 other children: Hannah, Judah, and Shiloh!
Michael and Colleen D'Angelo have been married for 22 years and have two biological daughters, ages 10 and 12. Having worked for years with foster children as a social worker, Colleen has seen firsthand how difficult the foster care system can be for children. Michael is also a psychologist, and therefore is familiar with the psychological issues that can arise for children who have been orphaned.
Neither Michael nor Colleen ever imagined themselves adopting a child, especially not an older child. However, that all changed after they hosted a 14 year old girl for the summer.
Having their eyes opened to the plight of orphans, and falling in love with their host daughter, caused them to immediately begin the process of adoption.
They are so excited to take this journey, and learn what the Lord has planned for them over the next 12 months. They proceed out of obedience to the Lord, and out of a genuine desire to provide love for someone who is in such desperate need of love.
Sara is a single mother of two teenaged children with special needs. She is also a Special Education Teacher and is passionate about her roles as a mother and educator.
Sara's Aunt Vicki was born with Down Syndrome, but unfortunately passed due to complications from heart surgery before Sara was born. Sara's Grandparents, upon the birth of Vicki, were pressured by doctors to institutionalize her. Of course, Sara's Grandparents did not listen to their doctors and brought Vicki home to love and grow. Since learning about Vicki as a child, Sara started dreaming that one day she would save a child from the future that Vicki might have had if her Grandparents had listened to the doctors.
Sara and her children officially started their journey during National Adoption Month 2017. After looking into the files of waiting children, they found their Campbell Reilly (who was briefly listed on RR as Kai) and cannot wait to bring him HOME!
Hi, we are the Newby family and we reside in the great state of North Carolina. This year our family gratefully completed our first adoption of "Deacon and Pauline," now known as Nicholas and Elizabeth.
We are growing our family one more time and sought to adopt a child who needed the love and support of a family experienced with children with Down syndrome. Currently, we have Zachary, who is 20 years old and attending college. Next is our little miracle boy, Nathan, who arrived after 17 years of infertility and brought his fantastic extra 21st chromosome. then we added Nicholas and Elizabeth, both whom have Down syndrome, through international adoption. We have seen the affects on children who live in an orphanage and we know all children belong in families not in an orphanage.
Since we are already homestudy approved our process will likely move much faster and we need could greatly use any help to bring home one more beautiful child who is waiting for their own forever family.
We look forward to sharing our journey and can follow along on our private adoption page "Along Came Another Newby". Thank you for all the love, support, and prayers through this roller coaster ride called adoption.
Over four years ago, Kyle and Beth adopted a little girl from Taiwan. It was their first adoption, but 6th kid. After spending 3 days in the orphanage when they traveled to get their daughter, they felt bittersweet when they officially walked out the door with her. They were thrilled to have her, but it was heartbreaking to leave with just one. Three weeks after they left that country, a little guy was born (on National Down syndrome Day!). They saw his file right about 4 years later and thought he looked like an Edwards. They began to pray and ask God if He thought so too. He did! Now they are in the process to bring another chromosomally enhanced treasure home.
Ben and Darrci have been married for 14 years this December. By their second date they were already discussing their shared interests in adoption. Fourteen years, 11 children (biological and adopted domestically) later, they are ready for their first venture in international adoption!
The second the Ashlocks saw Maxims face they knew he was theirs. They have a busy and fun family ready to take on this new journey!
Matt and Andrea live in North Idaho and have 8 biological children. For many years they knew they wanted to expand their family by adoption. They've always felt very strongly about helping children, especially those with special needs, and those that have suffered neglect and abuse. They firmly believe that every child deserves a home and family for them to reach their fullest potential. They've fostered in the past and have experience with special needs in their family. They weren't sure how, or where they would adopt from, but waited for the opportunity to begin the process. Then, one day, a friend shared a video of an older boy with Cerebral Palsy living in an institution in a foreign country. Through a series of events they were able to find out more about him and get in contact with the agency that made his video. He's been waiting in an institution for a long time and is getting close to the age where he won't be able to be adopted. He is also unable to walk, but he is determined that he will in the future and he works really hard at taking steps and gaining strength. With the proper care and therapies available, he could have his dream of walking fulfilled. He also dreams of being able to drive a car someday! Matt, Andrea and their children hope to be able to welcome Dima into their family quickly before he ages out and becomes ineligible for adoption. Please help them bring Dima home!
Shannon first discovered international adoption – and Reece's Rainbow – in 2008 after a heartbreaking miscarriage. She instantly knew adopting internationally was something she wanted to do, but Troy wasn't so sure. After serving as missionaries in Haiti (Troy) and Paraguay (Shannon), they knew first -hand the difference that good medical care, good nutrition and love made in the lives of children – but Troy felt they were busy enough with their 4 children and worried about the cost and risks involved. Two more miscarriages and finally their surprise baby boy followed over the next 8 years, but the dream of adopting a child in need never left Shannon's heart – and the reluctance to adopt never left Troy's!
In the fall of 2016, Troy saw the photo of a newly listed little girl, Carrie, and felt something in his heart he'd never felt before. They hurried to get all the paperwork together to adopt her, but were heartbroken when she went into foster care the same week they received the final document. Loving Carrie opened Troy's heart to adoption, and they decided to wait and watch for another little one to touch their hearts in the same way Carrie had.
Meanwhile, in the spring of 2016, Shannon first saw Dawn's photo on an advocacy website in her country and fell in love, but she was not then legally free for adoption. After losing Carrie, she inquired about Dawn and was told she was still not available and they did not know if or when she would be. Shannon kept watching and hoping that when the time was right, Dawn would become available, and 18 months after Shannon first saw her photo, she did! When Shannon showed Dawn's photo to Troy, he felt the same connection she had felt, and they knew it was time to move forward again. Shannon waited 2,434 days for Troy's "yes" –and all along he was just waiting for the right little ones to come along!
Their first experience with orphans came through a mutual friendship with two amazing people. David and Jane Daulton, heroes in the faith who have been serving orphans overseas forever. (not to mention adopting as many children as they can get their hands on) They invited both Kurt, Cyndi and Christella to join them on a missions trip to serve special needs orphans in the summer of 2015.
Kurt and Cyndi fell in love on the mission field. Both were widows. Cyndi and her daughter Christella took a giant leap of faith by saying yes to a mission's trip to serve orphans overseas.They were not there 48 hours and they both knew God was calling them to the orphans.
Kurt was planning a trip to Nepal, to serve disabled orphans when God changed his plans and rerouted him to join the same missions trip with David and Jane. The three of their paths crossed (Kurt, Cyndi, and Christella) and they immediately bonded with each other, and their hearts were on one accord for these precious lost children.
Kurt and Cyndi were married October 2015 and in the two years since, they have made 5 trips back to the mission field to minister to the orphan children. They are presently working to help these beautiful children find forever loving family's and to help forge a new plan that would end institutionalized care for them in this country.
During their journey they met a sweet brown eyed little girl who stole their hearts. This beautiful child desperately needs American medicine and a whole lot of love. We can't wait for the Lord to bring her home and make her a forever part of our family.
Kevin and Marta have been married for 15 and are blessed with 3 amazing kids – Greyson (16), Kasia (13) and our youngest, Mila (3) who was adopted from China about a year ago. God had opened their hearts during their 1st adoption process to Down Syndrome and Mila became part of their family in 2016.
They had been sponsoring multiple children with heart defects, one of whom was Elora and they fell absolutely in love. They hoped there was a chance she would someday be theirs. Despite the doctors saying Elora was too old and that she was inoperable — thousands prayed and fought for this girl! Elora's surgery was a great success.
The next hurdle would be getting her orphanage to write her file. Elora's agency fought for a year to get her file to be written. They waited and waited and finally their family sent in a photo of with Mila to show the orphanage that children with Down Syndrome are loved, wanted and cherished dearly. After 9 months of pleading and prayer they received a phone call — Elora's file has indeed been prepared! They are so very excited to welcome Elora Meredith Joy home!
They are beyond excited and are doing everything they can to be prepared to welcome a beautiful new life into their home. If you're reading this, then you're likely thinking about helping them bring their Elora home. For that, they are forever grateful and want to thank you for partnering with them in this amazing new adventure! They don't take your support for granted, no matter how big or small the donation. Thank you in advance!
For thirteen years the Masons have experienced the added blessing of having a child with "a little something extra!" Back in 2004 their first child was born with Down syndrome. Life with him has been sometimes challenging but always full of lots of love and fun! Since then they have added two other children to the family as well, another biological son as well as a beautiful little girl who they adopted in 2009 from Ethiopia. Recently they have been feeling those familiar tugs placed on their hearts to add another child to their family, so when they saw the sweetest little pictures of Jaz and her bright smile, they began to pray and ask God if this was the child that was supposed to join their family. They felt clearly that this child was meant to be in their family and they have been excitedly pursuing her ever since.
Leon and Gloria grew up in an Amish home where adoption was rarely heard of. After getting married and being blessed with 3 children, they often talked about adoption but always said "maybe someday", and never really pursued it any further.
After reading a family's story on Facebook, Gloria came to know, pray for, and support the families of Reece's Rainbow. It was there that her eyes were opened to the plight of so many orphans around the world. After lots of prayer and careful consideration they decided that now was the time to move forward with their "maybe someday". They are all very excited to be able to provide a forever home for one little girl.
It is only through the help of family, friends, strangers, and a whole lot of prayers that will make this adoption possible. One of their favorite quotes is, "Do for one what you wish you could do for millions."

Tim and JoLynne have been married for 9 years. They were high school sweethearts and married two years after graduation. They have four beautiful children- Dexter (6), Beatrix (5), Martina (3), and Simon (2). They adopted Martina from Bulgaria in November of 2016 and knew they weren't done with adoption- or more accurately, they knew God wasn't done growing their family in this special way. They weren't planning on adopting again so soon, but that's the thing about orphans- once you know their names and see their faces- you don't forget. And recently, JoLynne and Timmy have realized they have room at their table for "one" more, they have room in their hearts for "one" more, and they are hoping their friends and family will support them as they work toward bring their "one" more home.

Jenny and Randall met online 21 years ago, in the olden days, when the Internet was in it's infancy. The only problem – Randall was in the US, and Jenny was in England. They didn't let that stop them, though – they got married a year later (in England), and Jenny moved across the ocean to South Dakota. They have one son, 14 year old Nathaniel – also known as Newt – a soccer loving teen who was born just before his mom turned 40.
As a child, Randall's family moved around quite a lot, as his dad was in the military. Jenny's family stayed in one place. Randall has worked for the same company for 35 years. Jenny has worked for over 30 years with disabled children, in many settings, including residential schools, a summer camp, as a nanny,and as a daycare provider. She is currently employed as a personal education assistant in an elementary school.
After discovering Reece's Rainbow about 7 years ago, Jenny has done her best to advocate for and help fundraise for the children and adoptive families. About 4 years ago she became a "Guardian Angel" for Sealey, pledging to raise his adoption grant and try to find his family. One year she was his "Angel Tree" warrior. While advocating for him, it did cross her mind that she could be his mom, but a conversation with Randall several years prior led her to believe that adoption was not to be for their family.
This summer, Randall, too, started advocating for Sealey, believing that there was a family out there for him somewhere. Then, one day, out of the blue, he said the magic words – "what if WE adopted him"? He was still hesitant, and wanted to wait a while longer, to see if another, younger family stepped forward. However, about a month later, he realized that Sealey shouldn't have to wait any longer, and that HIS was the family Sealey needed.
Jenny and Randall cannot wait to bring Sealey home and call him son, and Newt is excited to finally have a brother!

Taylor and Sarah Pirkle have been married for 6 years. Together they have 6 biological children, yours, mine and ours. Caden-13, Blake-12, Kati-10, Alyssa-9, Tatum-5 and Brooks-3. Taylor is an IT specialist with a medical company while Sarah is a nurse at a home health agency. Their children are active in school and extracurricular activities. Most Friday nights this family can be found at the High School football game cheering on their oldest son in the band and their second son will join him next football season. Their oldest daughter is a competitive dancer, their second daughter is a cheerleader and youngest daughter has shown an interest in dance and gymnastics. Their youngest child is all boy!
Their story to adoption started with a tragedy but will end with a special child gaining a family. Sarah had heard of adopting special needs children through her friend Christy. Unfortunately, Christy and her family experienced a devastating tragedy when their son Auggie passed away suddenly. One day, Sarah was on line checking on Christy and her family when she came across a picture of a child with cerebral palsy. This picture changed her life. It was instant love! But it was not meant to be at that time. Another family wanted this child. So they waited. The child became available again. There was hope! But God had other plans, another family was interested in this child. Finally, God said "NOW". Through a miraculous chain of events they were able to commit to their child! Their story is just beginning… This loving couple with their children are excited to add a new member to their "herd".
Hi there! We are Chris and Elizabeth Graham. Newlyweds. Mama and Daddy to Worth. Adoption advocates. Chipotle lovers. A musician and an artist.
Here's a little bit about our story.
In early 2015, I (Elizabeth) was living the single lady life when I had the craziest dream. In my dream, I was marrying the love of my life, and there right next to us was my precious, adopted child. It was breathtaking and vividly real.
By mid-2015, I was home study approved and eagerly learning the world of international adoption. After setback and heartbreak, I finally met my son, Worth, in May 2016, and he was in my arms forever on October 17, 2016.
Somewhere in the middle of that beautiful chaos, I met Chris and immediately knew he was the man of my dreams. Chris asked me to be his wife right before we traveled together to pick up my son, now our son. Loving Worth together has been the greatest joy of our lives. Some days are hard and messy and full of tears, but every day is overflowing with love.
Our prayer as a couple is that our love be so abundant that we have plenty to share with the world; now is the time to share our love and grow our family. We have more than we need, so we are building a longer table.
Thank you for being a part of this beautiful story. I can't wait to see how it unfolds.
The Fish's have been married for 24 years. They were high school sweethearts and married 1 year after school. They have three beautiful children, one of whom has an extra "LOVE" chromosome (Down syndrome). Since becoming born again, they never truly obeyed James 1:27 until now. Their ministry work often takes them to the sidewalk of abortion buildings, where they offer to adopt those unwanted pre-born babies. It occurred to them that while doing this ministry, they had not taken serious the work they were doing. In order to obey God's word, they needed to have a home study just in case a Mom & Dad wanted to chose life and have them adopt their baby. They are almost finished with their home study and no one has taken them up on the adoption offer. They have now found Vance. Vance was abandoned by his birth parents. He is about to age out of the system in his country. Since Vance has an extra "LOVE" chromosome, he will fit in perfectly in their family. Thank you for considering a donation to help them bring home Vance. The family covets your prayers for them and for Vance and is thankful for your monetary gifts!
The Horst family is so excited to be adopting again! They have prayed many years for this time and God has moved their hearts that now is the time. Harlan and April have 5 children; two which they adopted from foster care and three biological children. They love spending time together as a family working on their farm and caring for the animals. They also have a garden and grow a lot of their own food. They enjoy fishing, going to the zoo, and visiting friends. One thing they enjoy most about adoption is watching the change in a child when they have a loving family.
They would love your prayers and support as they work to raise the money needed to bring their new daughter home to her forever family.
Don and Erin Lafreniere met on amateur radio when they were in high school and began an international on-the-air romance (Don lived in Canada and Erin in the United States). These high school sweethearts will be celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary in January 2018. Erin, a former teacher, is now the stay-at-home/homeschooling mom of 12-year-old Peter, 5-year-old Simon, and 1-year-old Clara. The Lafreniere family has lived in both the US and Canada but now lives in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a wonderful place to raise a family. They enjoy visiting Lake Superior beaches, hiking in the woods, and visiting waterfalls together.
After years of Erin being interested in adoption and Don feeling reluctant about it, Erin saw 10-year-old "Valentine" in a summer hosting photolisting and recognized him as a child listed years earlier on Reece's Rainbow. Knowing that being hosted would significantly increase his chances of being adopted, she convinced Don to host him in the summer of 2017. Once they started hosting, the whole Lafreniere family fell in love with Valentine and Don saw how desperately Valentine needed a family. Seeing his joy in simple things like seeing wildlife, jumping on the trampoline, and running through the sprinkler on a hot day, his pride in learning new skills like riding a bike, playing card games, and telling time, and his obvious desire to belong, and knowing the bleak future that awaits him in his country if he is not adopted, Don and Erin decided to pursue their first international adoption to make him a permanent member of their family.
Now they are trying to raise the funds to make it possible. They can't wait to welcome Valentine back to their home to stay permanently, to build on the bonding developed during hosting and to continue to share their love with him.

Christiaan and Kayla have been married for 3 years. During this time, they have had 2 beautiful children. Mila is a sweet and sassy 2-year-old. Maks is a cuddly and loving 1-year-old. It was during their years of dating that Christiaan and Kayla discussed their hope to adopt one day. They were unsure of the timing or any of the details. It was this year that they felt God tugging on their heart. He told them that It was time. A few years ago, Kayla stumbled across the Reece's Rainbow page. It was at this time that her eyes were opened to the reality that orphans with special needs face every day. It was then that their hearts were turned toward special needs adoption. When they stumbled across a picture of Cole, they commented on how sweet his smile was and kept going. Over the next few days, their hearts and minds kept returning to him. They requested more information and prayed about it. They knew that this little boy was their son. Now they are working diligently to bring Cole home to his forever family!
Raymond and Alison Vis met in high school and after losing contact for a few years have now been married for four years. They have two adorable biological children, Katie aged 3 and Ezra aged 1. They have their hands full with two young toddlers and were not planning on expanding their family again so quickly. But, God!
Alison stumbled across the blog of a family who had recently adopted from Eastern Europe and and was instantly drawn to their story. Many late nights and prayers later Raymond and Alison both accepted what they believed to be a calling to expand their family through international adoption of a child with special needs from Eastern Europe.
Raymond and Alison began the process with great urgency, believing that their child was out there somewhere, just waiting to be found. After many ups and downs Alison and Raymond believe that God has relived the child that they are to go and bring home to their family.
This little one will be a twin for Ezra, being only six weeks apart in age. He will also bring a little something extra to the family as he happens to have Down Syndrome and is rocking that extra chromosome!
Mountains are truly being moved to take this little one from lost to loved. Alison and Raymond are so grateful for all support to help get their little one home!

Gary Wayne and Dee have been married for 25 years and have raised 7 older children and 5 younger adopted children still at home. They are an older couple and also grandparents to 17 grandchildren.
Once the Davis' Family was told their family was like a box full of Animal Crackers. Inside the box you will find a few lions, a tig~ger or two, one big elephant, one tall giraffe and several wild monkeys. Each family member is so different but when you blend them all together and you have a box full of love. Some people do not understand that some families are created differently than others. Every child is a gift from our Lord and we must protect and love these children. The Davis' Family is a big supporter and advocate for adoption.
In adoption there is the paperwork on top of paperwork and then there is the cost of adopting. Adoption is costly yet the price of a child is priceless. Through much prayers and support mountains can be moved. And the Davis family is moving mountains for this one child. No child should be without a family to love them and the Davis' Family has decided to step forward.
After completing their last adoption, the Davis' knew that there was still love in their heart for one more. Immediately they knew in their hearts just which child it was. One little boy Reece's Rainbow had listed for 4 long years. On Reece's Rainbow he is listed as Clyde. Being that little Clyde is only 4 years old he has waited since a baby to be adopted. Clyde had been sitting in an a orphanage watching as other children were adopted. And daily Clyde has been over looked so many times. Clyde like most of his friends wants a family and yet no one stepped up till now. This little guy so full of sunshine and a smile that would melt hearts finally has a family to come bring him home. Like most little boys full or energy and so much love to give in return he deserves his chance for a family.
With the help of Reece's Rainbow Clyde has found his family. Now that he has a mother and a father traveling for him they will be working hard to compile their paperwork. Now he who will have a family to hold his small hand and tuck him into his very own bed at night.
Many children with Clyde's illnesses are transferred into an adult setting after age at five years. Instead of a birthday cake and presents he will be transferred. He will be mixed into an adult setting and it would be harder for little Clyde to find a family.
Sometimes we take the small things for granted like buying your child a box of Animal Crackers. But sometimes for a child in an orphanage many children die daily from not having enough to eat. The Davis' Family ask for your prayers, love and support during their journey in bringing Clyde home. Please follow their adoption blog and share their posts as they work to move mountains to bring their new son home.

Jacob and Sarah had that "love at first sight" moment 13 years ago at Dallas Baptist University and never stopped living the fairy tale. Jacob is a Vice President at Alliant Insurance Services and Sarah is a fitness bootcamp instructor / stay at home mom with their 6 children ages 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 10. After the adoption of #6, they knew they had room in their hearts and home for one more and started looking at Reece's Rainbow for the perfect child with "something extra." The whole family is so excited to welcome their new sister, soon to be named "Noelle"!

Please help Jayce's family bring him home, where he will receive the love and care he so desperately needs.
As a family, Jonathan and Laura Dale have a unique set of skills. The Dales were blessed with two biological children, the 2nd of which was born with severe medical complications and mental delays. It was a privilege they were able to enjoy for 12 short years before their daughter passed away from these chronic issues. During this time they also were foster parents to several long term placements and eventually adopted two more children. Again, one a typical, thriving child and one medically complex. In their 21 years of marriage they have learned so much about how to be parents of children with severe trauma and medical issues that it has become their families "normal".
In January 2017 they saw "Clarence" on a You-Tube video, a little boy in Eastern Europe, who has significant medical needs and has been in institutionalized care his entire life. Laura was smitten and soon Jonathan was on board too! Shortly upon actively starting the adoption process for him, they were introduced to "Aria" a little girl in another region in the same country. Jonathan immediately "claimed" her as his. Laura's heart followed as well. Their family has decided that both of these children are to be a part of their forever family. Their older boys are on board and excited to meet their soon-to-be siblings.
Being patient and handling "red-tape" is not a concern for this family – it is money that is the greater challenge. Jonathan works three jobs (handyman, mechanic, farm hand) and Laura works from home 40-60 hours a week making baby items and selling them online or at farmers markets. They have also started working every weekend selling hard scooped ice cream at local events to add to their adoption funds. This process is long and tedious.
Adopting two children, from two different regions is incredibly expensive. It is a financial hurdle that can be very frightening. The Dales are up for this challenge and are committed to seeing these adoption through.
If you are willing or able to help them with the financial burden of saving this 4 year old boy and 9 year old girl from living the remaining part of their lives in a crib, this family would be forever grateful!
Kayla and Gino have been happily married for 6 years and have been blessed with two biological children.
Adoption has been a long time dream for Kayla, often a topic of conversation with Gino, an open possibility. They were nervous about the whole process, but not enough to give up their mutual dream of having a big family. Kayla kept looking online, then, one day not long ago, she finally found two little siblings! Immediately sent their pictures to Gino. They were both amazed to see that these sweet little angels looked just like their bio kids… They fell in love!
Finding them was a wonderful surprise. Meaning that they didn't quite have enough time to get ready. So now they are rushing to pay fees, gather a humongous amount of paperwork and raise the remaining amount of money fast enough.
Adoption is never easy peasy process, but they know in their hearts that this journey is gonna be one of the most important and rewarding things they could ever do. They keep working at it and counting the days until they can finally bring those sweet angels home!
Cal and Melissa have been married for 22 years and have eleven children, nine biological and two from Liberia. Their oldest at nineteen is married, so they just have ten still living at home. Both Cal and Melissa had a desire to adopt even before they met. Melissa worked in an orphanage in Hong Kong for a year and a half. It was there that she had the joy of looking after many babies with Down Syndrome and hoped to adopt a special one of her own one day.
God had an exciting surprise for Cal and Melissa, their third child was born with Down Syndrome! Soon after this they discovered Reece's Rainbow, gushing over the children and donating when possible. There was always the dream of adopting a little girl with Down Syndrome. Life got busy, until recently when God made it clear that He had a special little girl for the Calhoon family.
Everything is perfect in God's timing, He prepared a large enough home, a great job for Cal, and after what was thought to be a phone call of inquiry, our little girl. We ended up doing things a little backwards and had pre-approval within a few days of calling to ask if our family was too big for adoption!
We have just completed our home study and are trying to remain patient while we wait for our little darling to come home.
Robert and Louisa have been married for twenty-three years. They are the parents of five children, all through the blessings of adoption.
While traveling to Russia, Guatemala and Ukraine, Robert and Louisa saw the unforgettable faces of children in orphanages they had to leave behind. They witnessed the heartache and misery that comes from growing up without the care of loving parents and living in austere conditions. As Roman Catholics, they believe in the sanctity of every human life.
It was through Reece's Rainbow they learned about children with special needs needing families. In 2013, they welcomed home a baby girl with Down Syndrome. Being older parents, they thought their family was complete. But, God helped them to trust in His plan. One day, a little boy caught their eye. Something about him spoke to their hearts. He was three-years old and still waiting for his forever family. They knew right away they wanted him. After many prayers they decided to say, "Yes!"
Robert and Louisa want to thank their family and friends that have loved and supported them over the years. Most of all, they want to thank Jesus Christ for His sacrifice on the cross. It would mean so much if you would pray for Bruce and the Ramirez Family. Reece's Rainbow is so worthy of any support you can give.
Pete and Kim have been married for 19 years. The have dealt with the pain and sorrow of miscarriages and have also gotten to experience the exquisite joy and blessing of three precious children by birth. They knew that the pain and sorrow they'd experienced was not meaningless. It was a catalyst for love. God had burdened their hearts for children who were experiencing a pain and sorrow far worse; one they should never, ever have to endure. A life without a family.
Two years ago, Pete and Kim adopted their two youngest children from Asia. What they saw and experienced in the orphanages they visited there changed them forever. There were so many children. Too many. As they adjusted to life as a family of seven and helped their newly adopted children settle in, Kim was advocating for some of the children left behind. Face after face, vying for attention, all in desperate need. In April 2017, Peter returned to Asia to spend time with some of those children in a care center where their youngest daughter had once lived. There he met many children, but one stood out: a 5-year-old little girl with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy and the brightest smile you've ever seen, one of the children Kim had been advocating for over the past several months. He knew right away that she should join their family, but he didn't want Kim to hear that from him. He wanted Kim to know that for herself. So he returned home and decided to pray about it. He asked God to make it clear. If they were to adopt this little girl, that Kim would not be able to stop thinking about her and, specifically, that Kim would be the one to bring up the possibility of adopting her. Well, wouldn't you know it, Kim could not get the little girl with the sunshine smile out of her mind. She thought about her so frequently that, frankly, it was getting ridiculous! So she called their old adoption agency and asked if her file was still available. It was, and she had it in her email inbox in under ten minutes. She read it and the tears started to flow. This was their daughter!!! She found Pete in the barn and told him what she had done. He smiled and told her about his prayer. They formally began Little Miss Sunshine's adoption process that night.
Pete and Kim are very excited to welcome home their Sunshine girl, Savannah! As their family travels this journey, they invite you to partner with them in prayer and support of the children who wait. Because no one should face life alone.
Jonathan and Angela had been married for several years, and had four beautiful biological daughters when Angela came across an advocacy website for orphans with special needs. It was Reece's Rainbow! After much prayer and talking with their daughters, the family decided to move forward to adopt Lily (listed on RR as "Flora") from Eastern Europe. Lily has now been home for over a year and is doing wonderfully! She has cerebral palsy and having a family, along with good nutrition, medical care, and lots of therapy, she has come so far and continues to progress each day. The five sisters are a perfect team and you would never know Lily hasn't been with the family from day one. About a year after Lily came home, the family felt like they had room at their table for one more…like maybe someone was missing. Marian is also in Eastern Europe and has been waiting for a family for seven years. The Higdons are incredibly excited to welcome her into their forever family and hope to bring her home in the Spring of 2018.

The Return of the Lost Servant
William Wigglesworth was a story about a small boy who had lost his little dog. The whole book was about William asking people, "Have you seen my dog?" No one could find the dog. Finally, he met a man who had a big house filled with dogs. Was William's dog in there? You turned the page and there was a double spread of a whole house filled with dozens of dogs. It would take me a while to find it, but there, in one corner, was William Wigglesworth's little dog! I read it again and again: loving a dog, losing a dog, searching for the dog, and meeting many people.
I want to speak as a competent instructor and counselor. I do not want to be condescending toward the old memories, but neither do I want to create a "pilgrimage for crows."
Reading William Wigglesworth was sweet, like "going home." You find your lost relationship with Him after many lifetimes and adventures. The soul finds shelter in a corner of Krishna's house.
On the Front Stoop
There was a family down the block named the Foxes. Their mother sold and traded comic books as a way to make money. All the kids on 76th Street in Queens used to trade comics and sit on the front steps for hours reading. You would read one and then pass it to someone else and take theirs: Superman, Batman, Wonderwoman, Little Lulu, Archie …
Even up until the last minute on the day our family was moving away from Queens, I was still sitting reading comic books.
Someone said, "You moving today?"
"Yeah. This is our last day." We went on reading, and then I gave the Foxes some of my comic books and they gave me some of theirs.
Reading Srimad-Bhagavatam can become easy if you are in the right mood. Today I was in the right mood. Myself and two other devotees are taking a break from our preaching and travels. We are in a secluded part of Ireland where the only sound is the wind and the surf. Sitting on the floor, I hold the book and I am thankful. I am reading in the Fourth Canto, "The Kumaras speaking to Maharaja Prthu."
You have to relax, preferably in good company, as we did on the front stoop in Queens. Read Srimad-Bhagavatam the way you used to read comic books, with leisure, with friends, fully absorbed like a child or a devotee of Krishna. Srila Prabhupada says that reading is as good as active service.
Reg'lar Fellas
Another book was Reg'lar Fellas in the Army. It was a series of panel cartoons about kids playing that they were in the Army. One kid wore a kitchen pot as a helmet and he carried a walkie talkie made of an empty can with a string. In between the panel cartoons, there were full-page photos of U.S. Army activities: tanks, planes, soldiers. One was a photo of an infantryman charging with his bayonet forward. It looked like he was coming out of the picture to stab you, and the caption said that he was "in the finest tradition of the American military man." I used to reread it often, Reg'lar Fellas. The idea was that you shouldn't be a sissy. When you grow up, you too can be in the Army. My father sent that book home, and my mother wanted me to read it.
My mom and dad wanted me to be a regular fellow. That is why they got me that book, and that is also why my dad sent me two pairs of boxing gloves from his ship in the Pacific. I am trying to get to the bottom of this memory but I can't. Maybe later it will make more sense. Otherwise, let it go into oblivion, the boys with their kitchen pot helmets and their play-military headquarters made from orange crates, and their dog tagging behind them . . . me leafing through the over-sized, hardbound book again and again in our apartment in Queens, gone and never to return again exactly like that. Reading Reg'lar Fellas was my participation in the Great Events of World War II. But as Srila Prabhupada writes, warning me:
The whole material creation is a jugglery of names only; . . . The buildings, furniture, cars, bungalows, mills, factories, industries, peace, war . . . [are] of no more significance than the babble of sea waves. The great kings, leaders and soldiers fight with one another in order to perpetuate their names in history. They are forgotten in due course of time, and they make a place for another era in history. . . . those who are fixed in perfect reality are not at all interested in such false things.
—Bhag. 2.2.3
Tell Me About God
I had a book called Tell Me About God. It told how God created the trees, the land, and everything else. Another book was called Tell Me About Jesus. It had nice illustrations. We had a Christmas book with carols in it, and I remember sitting on the couch singing those hymns aloud to myself. I was partly enjoying my own singing and partly knowing that they were "holy" songs. It made me feel angelic, like the holy angels in the book, to sing those carols. My mother walked by and appreciated my singing. I played it up for her too, and kept on singing, "O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see you lie . . . "
This Christmas book had the story of the fir tree by Hans Christian Andersen, with wonderful pictures. There was a little fir tree, and he was dissatisfied with his life in the forest. When he grew up, he was chopped down, decorated for the holiday, and then thrown to the fire. Before he died, he told the mice in the attic, "I should have been satisfied with my lovely life in the forest." There was also the story of a boy who had nothing to offer to Christ. "What shall I give Him? I don't have gold, I don't have a lamb. I know, I'll give Him my love." I loved that Christmas book and read it again and again, especially the illustrations.
We also had a big Catholic Bible in our house, but I never saw anyone reading it.
Srila Prabhupada often commented on the importance of the first influences upon a child, especially for Krishna consciousness.
Srila Jiva Gosvami remarks in this connection that every child, if given an impression of the Lord from his very childhood, certainly becomes a great devotee of the Lord like Maharaja Pariksit. . . . Maharaja Prahlada also advises that such impressions of a godly relation must be impregnated from the beginning of childhood—otherwise, one may miss the opportunity of the human form of life, which is very valuable, although it is temporary like others.
—Bhag. 1.12.30
Krishna conscious parents deliberately bring a child into the world to give it a spiritual education. Often this appears to them to be a thankless task. After carrying their child before the temple Deities of Radha and Krishna for years, and holding the infant up before the Tulasi, worshiping and chanting with them, the children often grow up to reject their upbringing, usually as teenagers. But it is likely that persons brought up in a devotional home will remember it again sooner or later, at least before death.
My own upbringing was secular. Religious obligations were fulfilled just by attending church on Sunday. My mother forced me, so there was no question of not going. If I missed even one Sunday Mass, it was a mortal sin. My mother, sister, and I would walk together to St. Clare's church through the Village, the ladies wearing their 1950s dresses and hats, and me in my dress-up clothes. After Mass, Sunday morning would be spent reading the funny papers, lounging around or playing, and in the evening, we would watch the Colgate Comedy Hour on TV.
In our house, we never spoke of an afterlife. Who would bring up such a topic? If I ever did ask a religious question as a child, it was answered in one or two sentences by my mother, usually followed by a cynical joke about the "freeloader" priests from my father.
My impression of religion, therefore, was that it was a part of family and social life. It was important in its own way, but definitely limited to a small compartment. Neither was it particularly joyful. But my superficial roots in spiritual life do not sadden me. I am simply happy that I met Srila Prabhupada. My childhood misadventures with religion seem to me like humorous tales in someone else's life, like watching a TV situation-comedy. Upbringing is important, but whether you have spiritual training or not, you can still receive the mercy of the Supreme Lord whenever you meet His merciful representative.
In The Nectar of Devotion, Srila Prabhupada states that according to Rupa Gosvami, bhakti is a process continued from one's previous life. "No one can take to devotional service unless he has some previous connection with it. "But," Srila Prabhupada writes, "even if there is no continuity, if only by chance a person takes interest in the pure devotee's instruction, he can be accepted and he can advance in devotional service."
That Christmas book was nice. It gave me some warm, joyful moments and a hint of spiritual peace where "the silent stars go by" in the sky of Bethlehem. It was a spiritual inkling within me, and it may have helped me in some small way to pay attention when Srila Prabhupada began to sing.

Grafton Nature Museum hosts wilderness programs
GRAFTON >> Time in nature increases health, happiness, and well-being in kids.
This February, The Nature Museum is offering unique, outdoor adventures for young Vermonters during winter school vacation. The camps are educational, hands-on experiences that bring children outside and exercise their minds and bodies and help to build confidence and independence by teaching wilderness skills in a safe and fun group environment. When school's out for a week this winter, get outside with The Nature Museum.
Wild Walkers on Feb. 16 is about all of the ways in which people and animals orient themselves in the environment and navigate from place to place. Wild Walkers is a partnership between The Nature Museum and Vermont Wilderness School, which offers day-long outdoor experiences for youth ages 10 to 14. "Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost," will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the woods and fields around The Nature Museum. Youth will explore way-finding without map and compass as well as studying topographic maps and compass to find locations and plan journeys, a vital skill for humans for thousands of years. The group will participate in a cross-country course on snowshoes, which will build skills for self-sufficiency, emergency preparedness, ecological awareness, and hazard avoidance in the wild. Skilled instructors from the Vermont Wilderness School and The Nature Museum will guide participants in a safe, fun, respectful experience of living close to the earth. Early-bird registration (by Feb. 2) is $35 per student for this six-hour program. Participants must bring their own snow shoes. After Feb. 3, if space remains, $40.
Brave Bears on Feb. 17 is The Nature Museum's series of natural science programs geared for 6 to 9 year olds. On one day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., "the Bears" will experience an age-appropriate version of "Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost." They will learn about way-finding, and orienteering. Youth will follow an outdoor course for a treasure hunt on snowshoes. The Nature Museum loans snowshoes for young participants who reserve them ahead. Early-bird registration (by Feb. 3) is $25 per student for one five-hour program. After Feb. 4, if space remains, $30. Snow Date is Feb. 19.
Register online for Wild Walkers and/or Brave Bears at www.nature-museum.org, or call 802-843-2111. Scholarships are available. Please inquire for multiple day and sibling discounts. Kids should bring a hearty bagged snack and lunch, a water bottle, and appropriate winter clothing and gear to this winter camp.

The OCC Rises, the FSOC Dies, and Other Regulatory Predictions
November 17, 2016
by: Dan Wheeler
Eight bold regulatory predictions on the direction of U.S. Banking and Fintech regulation in light of the election results.
1. The era of "outside the law" Federal regulation is over. Critics of the CFPB (exclusively Republicans) have criticized and challenged the agency's structure and tactics. These challenges include criticism of the agency's broad jurisdiction and rulemaking power as an unconstitutional delegation by Congress of its legislative power. Members of Congress and private litigants have assailed the CFPB's reliance on enforcement actions instead of true rulemaking as undercutting due process and basic fairness. Republicans have been united in believing that the agency's existence and actions violated the Constitution, the agency's grant of power under Dodd-Frank and the Administrative Procedures Act. Increasingly, the courts have dealt the agency significant setbacks. This author believes that Director Cordray only persisted in his aggressive pursuit of policy goals because he believed that pursuit wasRead More

Day 7 of Charlottetown Fire Department 12 Days of Fire Safety Campaign
Space heaters are sometimes necessary during the winter months for additional heat and comfort, but the Charlottetown Fire Department has a few tips for making sure you and your loved ones stay safe while using one.
• Do not leave young children unsupervised near a space heater. Teach them to stay three feet away from it;• Make sure your portable space heater has an automatic shutoff;• Keep space heaters away from things that can burn such as upholstered furniture, clothing, mattresses or bedding. During the holiday season, make sure your space heater isn't too close to your décor or Christmas tree;• Have a qualified professional install stationary space heating equipment, according to the local codes and manufacturer's instructions;• Remember to turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed;• Always use the right kind of fuel, specified by the manufacturer, for fuel burning space heaters.
These tips are part of the Charlottetown Fire Department's 12 Days of Fire Safety campaign to raise awareness of important fire safety and fire prevention measures leading into the holiday season.
The 12 Days of Fire Safety campaign was inspired by a similar initiative in Ontario. It will include public service announcements for twelve business days that outline fire prevention and safety tips. The announcements will be sent to local media as well as shared through www.charlottetown.ca/news.php and on social media via www.facebook.com/CityofCharlottetown and, on Twitter, @ChtownPE or @ChtownFire.
The daily tips will be shared from December 1-5, December 8-12 and December 15 and 16.

Slowly over the last few years I have been putting much more thought into not only the things that I put in my body, but the things that I am applying every day as well. After all, our skin is the very largest organ that we have, and we have been conditioned to think that if it smells good and makes our skin soft, it's a good thing. Sadly, that couldn't be more false!
Deodorant is something that we apply every single day, something as essential as toothpaste that quite honestly I could never cut out- no matter how bad it may be. After a circulating post on the dangers of the alluminum content and parabens that we are so generously applying to our skin, I started looking for an alternative. Our family also just invested in DoTerra's "Family Physican Kit", so I dug into my kit in search of an answer.
A simple combination of Essential Lemon oil, cornstarch, baking soda, and coconut oil- and voila! You've got a safe, non-toxic, aluminum free deodorant! I've been using this combination for the last month and can honestly say that it works as well as my trusted deodorant. (And I really love the smell!)
To make your own, simply combine 1/4 cup of cornstarch, 1 cup of baking soda, 2 tablespoons of pure, organic coconut oil, and 5 drops of essential oil. Mix until you have a paste-like texture, that will harden a bit as it sits. Apply after shower, using your fingertips!
(You guys, I know I spelled deodorant wrong on my lid- don't make fun of me.)

text: Brazilian hair extensions are used to style the natural hair into the desired shapes and also to hide signs of imperfection in the natural hair, such as premature baldness or infection. In case of this latter usage, the use of Brazilian hair extensions sometimes makes it difficult to gauge how much natural hair is being lost or shed. In case of premature baldness, natural hair begins to shed at a much faster rate compared to normal. To conceal this fact, clients use Brazilian hair extensions. What subsequently happens is that the Brazilian hair extensions successfully obscure the rate of fall of the natural hair. Once the Brazilian hair extensions, the loss of hair is unmasked. It is incorrect to blame Brazilian hair extensions for this increased rate of hair shedding. If anything, the Brazilian hair extensions may have slowed down the rate of loss of the hair by forming a protective layer over it. A normal head of human hair sheds about 100 strands every day, as the hair follicles get renewed on a daily basis. This is a part of the body's growth process and Brazilian hair extensions cannot impact it in any way. Of course, what may happen is that poor quality Brazilian hair extensions or improper installation methods may create pressure on the natural hair and accelerate its breakage. This can be remedied by buying the Brazilian hair extensions from reputed manufacturers and using the services of reliable and experienced professionals when applying them.

This man is very caring. I have known him on a professional level for many years. I consider him one of the best in his profession5
The doctor was VERY rude and impatient. Staff seems like they do not want to be there, took personal calls numerous times. Prices weren't that amazing either.1

Current Long Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): QCOM Oct 60 Calls, AAPL Sept 420 Calls
Current Short Positions (stop-losses in parentheses): None
Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): MBA Purchase Applications (7am), ICSC-Goldman Store Sales (7:45am), Redbook (8:55am), Beige Book (2pm), Treasury STRIPS (3pm)
My Observations and What to Expect:
Asian markets saw gains of about 1.9%, and Europe is currently up well over 2% on average.
Markets higher mainly due to Italy and Greece austerity plans
Nice hammer candle on the S&P yesterday and bounce off of the short-term trend-line from the 8/9 lows.
S&P is trading in a well defined channel off of the 8/9 lows as well. However, it leads me to believe it is more of a bearish flag pattern than anything else.
The rally could take us back up as high as 1240's before seeing the downward trend resume itself.
The 20-day MA is in play today as well as the 10-day. Notice the first bullish MA crossover in months occurring between the 10 and 20 MA's.
Volume was noticeably higher yesterday, compared to the previous two days, but overall was average.
My Conclusion: Watch the first hour of trading, and for whether the bears pounce on this rally. If not, then it is a good indication that today's gains will hold.
Here Are The Actions I'm Taking:
whoops - meant to say "September" that's what happens when you've been on vacation the past week.

While Conrad Black, Others, Go Free, Skilling Stays in Prison
The Supreme Court's recent decision in U.S. v. Skilling to narrow the scope of the federal honest-services statute has already benefited a handful of folks, including Conrad Black and former Westar executives Douglas Lake and David Wittig.
But it just hasn't yet helped Jeff Skilling.
The Fifth Circuit on Friday turned down the former Enron CEO's request for bail pending the continuing judicial review of his 2006 conspiracy and fraud conviction. The former Enron chief executive is serving a 24-year prison sentence. Click here for the WSJ story; here for the Bloomberg story.
In this ruling, the Supreme Court in June ordered Skilling's case to be re-reviewed by the Fifth Circuit to determine if his conviction on 19 counts should be vacated or otherwise modified. That matter is still pending before the . . .

CELTIC'S opening Champions League group may ultimately, and inevitably given the eye-watering sums of money their opponents have lavished on new players this summer, have ended in bitter disappointment and crushing defeat.
This occasion, though, provided a timely and welcome reminder, at the end of a depressing few days in which all of Scottish football's old disputes and divisions have resurfaced, of just how wonderful the beautiful game at its very best can be.
The most expensive strikeforce ever assembled, Edinson Cavani, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, played up front for Paris Saint-Germain last night. This was more OMG than EBT.
Each member of the triumvirate helped himself to a goal in the first half as the French champions ran riot and raced into an unassailable 3-0 lead. However much they cost it was money well spent.
Saint-Germain's world-record purchase of Neymar and subsequent acquisition of Mbappe may be under investigation by UEFA due to a widespread suspicion that it falls foul of Financial Fair Play regulations.
Yet, nobody in the sell-out crowd at Parkhead last night, not even the Celtic supporters who were willing their celebrated visitors to come unstuck, was complaining about seeing a front line which cost over £400 million taking to the field. It is an evening none of those lucky enough to be in attendance will forget.
The 5-0 loss – the heaviest Celtic have suffered at home in Europe – may have been painful for the followers of the former winners to bear. But their conquerors were a joy to behold. On this evidence they are genuine contenders to triumph in this competition this season.
Celtic have failed to overcome Juventus, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Manchester United, Shakhtar Donestsk, Aalborg, Benfica and AC Milan in their opening Champions League group game in the past 16 years. Paris Saint-Germain were duly added to that lengthy list. But there was no disgrace whatsoever in this latest result.
The absence of both Dedryck Boyata and Erik Sviatchenko meant that young Anthony Ralston found himself promoted to the Celtic starting line-up.
The 18-year-old right back is an exceptional prospect of whom great things are expected. But he had made only six first team starts and one European appearance before last night.
The teenager, like all of his team mates, endured a torrid 90 minutes. But he certainly had his moments. He forced his way into the Saint-Germain box in the second half and was yellow carded for flattening Thiago Motta. He will benefit from being exposed to such a formidable outfit at such a tender age.
Brendan Rodgers moved Mikael Lustig in to centre half alongside Jozo Simunovic and Ralston took up his favoured berth outside him. His reluctance to put his faith in either Kristoffer Ajer or Nir Bitton was to be expected given the quality of the opposition.
But Unai Emery's team seized control of the game from kick-off and did not relinquish it. Still, their first goal in the 19th minute was contentious. Scott Sinclair appeared to be barged over by Motta as he surged upfield. When referee Daniele Orsato failed to blow his whistle it appeared as if he was playing advantage.
However, when Leigh Griffiths lost possession play continued. Adrien Rabiot picked up the ball and sent Neymar clean through on goal. The striker scooped the ball beyond Craig Gordon and into the roof of the net.
The protests of the Celtic players and the boos of their fans were justified. It was a harsh way to fall behind after defending so resolutely in the opening stages.
Paris forged further ahead in the 34th minute when Neymar nodded a Marco Verratti cross from the right flank across the face of the Celtic goal. Cavani fresh-aired his shot but Mbappe was lurking behind him and he connected.
The Uruguayan made amends for that uncharacteristic error six minutes later when he won a penalty which he then calmly converted himself. Simunovic brought him down and the striker sent Gordon the wrong way.
Falling 3-0 behind in the first half proved too much for one imbecile who ran onto the pitch and tried unsuccessfully to kick Mbappe. The player calmly sidestepped him. The fan was apprehended by stewards and led away with the abuse of is disgusted fellow supporters ringing in his ears.
Celtic, who have been disciplined 11 times by UEFA in the past six years for similar misdemeanours, are sure to be punished for the unseemly incident. It marred an otherwise exhilarating evening.
Griffiths forced a fingertip save from Alphonse Areola with a dipping free-kick shortly after the first goal. Kieran Tierney tried his luck from wide of the left and got his attempt on target. And the keeper palmed a Sinclair shot wide just before half-time. But Saint-Germain were comfortable.
The Green Brigade had unfurled a huge banned which read "The Celtic Renaissance" just before the game got underway. There was, however, to be no revival by their team in the second half. Tom Rogic took over from Stuart Armstrong at half-time and his introduction to proceedings made a difference. The home team competed ferociously in the second half.
But Lustig turned a delivery from Julian Draxler, who had come on for Rabiot, into his own net with seven minutes remaining and Cavani added his second of the evening moments later. Celtic will not be the only team to be beaten by such a large margin this season.
