Our Story

When our son Jack was born with Down syndrome, we found out we had a lot to learn. Not just about the best way to nuture our child so he would grow up as healthy as possible, but about the whole world of special needs. One thing we learned, children born in some countries who have special needs generally don't go home with their mom & dad. They go to baby orphanages. We have decided to adopt one of these little angels, a beautiful girl with Down syndrome. We found our new daughter through an organization called Reece's Rainbow. They advocate for these little ones, trying to get them into the arms of their forever families. Please go visit. There is a button on the left. These children will touch your heart.

Got a binder. Printed out stuff. Now, make phone calls, fill out printed forms, look up more info, find oodles of money. A blanket? Yes, I think a blanket is next.

    I just found this blog tonight from another blog. Congrats on your decision to adopt. My husband and I are also on this journey. I have seen your daughter's picture on Reese's Rainbow :) She is so beautiful. We are adopting a little girl as well. She is deaf and blind, we hope our next adoption will be with Reeses rainbow and we are hoping for a little boy with DS. I pray your journey is a smooth one. Be blessed.

    Congratulations on your adoption too! I know there's a little guy in the same orphanage as Dashlyn that needs a family. His name is Aloysha.
    Thankyou for your prayers. Sending some for you as well.
