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.

I FORGOT AN IMPORTANT DATE!!

An amazing, important, completely and totally special once-in-a-lifetime milestone. And I missed it. And I was sooooo looking forward to celebrating. We'll still celebrate. It will be late though. Darn it. On Aug 10, after going about our day, sleeping in and hanging out at the lake, the sun finally set on the day that marked the last day that Dasha lived the same amount of time as a loved daughter, sister, and granddaughter as she did an orphan. Get that?????? She's now been a wanted, cared-for, adored precious family member for LONGER than she was unloved, abandoned, and hopeless. I've been looking forward to celebrating that day for 2 years, 8 months, and 9 days and I MISSED IT! AAAARRRRGGGHHH!!! Tomorrow, we celebrate. Special dinner and dessert, maybe festive plates from the dollar store or a present even. There WILL be pictures.
