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.

One of those pics everyone posts!

There they are, in all their golden, shiny glory!  The apostilles of every document we’ve spent the last several months collecting.  (If you don’t know, an apostille is a certification of our notaries.)  Hopefully, everything is in order and after we get our approval from USCIS all these lovely pieces of paper will be shipped off to Dashlyn’s country to begin their approval process of us.  Slooooooooooowly, we’re moving forward!  It’s starting to feel real again!
