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.

Horrific.

This is what all parents of children with special needs fear.  This is what keeps us up at night.  This is what causes our hearts to beat a little faster every time we take our kid to the Dr.  We fight so hard for our children to be accepted in this world.  We rejoice when we find each other because here are other parents who “get it”.  They “get” that the love our kids inspire is more fierce, more pure, more protective.  Not that any new momma with her baby won’t take your head off if you look at her baby cross-eyed, but we know we may have to defend our cubs way past the 18 yr old mark.

Please read this blog post written by a devastated mother.  And then pray.
