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.

Dashlyn the daredevil

All the kids enjoy swimming at the lake and riding on the boat.  But I wasn’t sure what Miss D would think of all that.  She most likely hadn’t ever been swimming, especially in a lake.  But she liked the pool so I figured she’d be fine.  But she LOVES swimming!  And when the boat goes over waves, she cracks up!  I have a really cute short video that I’ll try to post later, but here are a couple photos:

She’s fearless, I swear!
