I took LOTS of pictures of the kids at fundaninos. At one point I heard the little boy in the first picture ask his house mom "but why are they taking so many pictures of us?" Dan and Brittany at least had the excuse that it was for the website. I am just crazy.
The kids range from 2 days old to 18. There is also a really cool program that lets young pregnant girls stay at the orphanage as an alternative to abortion. When they have the baby they can decide to stay and take care of their baby or give it up for adoption. Either way it is a life saved. There were so many that I wanted to bring home with me. Maybe one day. For now though- you need to sponsor these kids so they can stay at the orphanage. All adoption out of Guatemala is completely closed (they are starting a pilot program to re-open it with some countries, not the US though) so the kids will be living at Fundaninos indefinitely. As soon as the website goes public each kids will be up for sponsorship to pay for the cost of staying at the orphanage and going to school. $40 bucks a month is all it takes. Be expecting a link when the website is finished! For now though- here are their wonderful faces.

i love portraits! they're all so beautiful! and you did an amazing job capturing it!
the cool thing about sponsoring a child here is that there is a very strong possibility that we will actually be able to meet him/her! I wish that I can sponsor all of them!
