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.

Professional Pics - Finally

I bought the mega-expensive cd so I own the rights to these and can post if I want to! I posted on fb too so you may have seen them already :). (If I do say so myself -they turned out great and Dasha is adorable!)







And we took some pics of all the kids together too:


How much do I love these kids?? SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!

    Oh my! She is completely adorable! Love them!

    I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" t-shirts. That's what we call Rachel (19 mo) and Elijah. They get into all sorts of trouble together! LOL

    Jill - I bought those shirts last summer before Dasha was even home. I had no idea how fitting it would be! I've never had 2 that ganged up to cause that much trouble before :).
