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.

Rummage Sale, Garage Sale, Yard Sale

What ever you call it, that's what's happening Sat morning! All the proceeds benefit our adoption, so if you're in the St. Charles area, come by and throw me a dollar (or 2, or 10, or I'd even take $1000!). Blog guru (otherwise known as Randa-Kay) has created a blog just for highlighting our sale! Click HERE to go see what we've got. Her garage is totally full, and we have some amazing friends who donated some terrific stuff for Dashlyn.

(PS - Allan got done with his paperwork and ALL our homestudy stuff has been in the hands of our social worker since Tues night!! Yipee!)
