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.

Today is a Two-fer

First off, one of my favorite adoptive parents has committed to bring home one of the children that has been weighing on my heart for awhile now. I'm so excited for both of them! This is the same family that committed to bring precious Lyla home, and unfortunately they are unable to do that at this time. They aren't giving up though! She is sick. Keep her on your prayer list, so she gets well enough to come home in the spring! Please go wish Summer and her family a smooth journey!

Secondly, tomorrow is the first day of October, so that means Down Syndrome Awareness Month! Once again, I'll be trying to blog every day for Ds awareness over on the family blog. Check out the cool button!

I may link over here occasionally. Since our beautiful girl also has Ds, this is her month too! (And we may actually get to see her in person before the end of the month - big prayers and fingers crossed!!!)
