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.

Fingerprints? Check!

Got fingerprints done yesterday, and picked up our revised homestudy, and had several more documents notarized!  Still have to get approval for everything and have it all apostilled.  But really, that should take not much time at all.  Giant WOO HOO!!!!

(I feel much better, can you tell?)

    Thanks Uncle Mark! Yes, I follow their blog as well. I've been trying to get some fun and special items so we can do an auction as well, and we're going to try to do a trivia night this fall. I'm not giving up!
