Not Under My Heart, But In It: WE HAVE A DATE!!!

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.

WE HAVE A DATE!!!

On Fri, I found out we have an appt to accept our referral for Dashlyn’s adoption! This is what we’ve been working toward all these months! So we need to be in Dashlyn’s home country on Nov. 1st! I’ll make travel arrangements this week, plus gather all the other paperwork we need, plus pack, plus plan for the kids here at home, plus talk to M’s school about her going back with me, plus plus PLUS!! I’m overwhelmed today but that’s okay. It will all get done, and what doesn’t, oh well!

You'll probably be right behind us! But yes, I'll do my best to see all the little sweeties I can and tell them their mommies are coming! Elijah is such a cutie - hope to see him asap!
