Overwhelmed With Love for Those Who Choose the Special Needs Life

Overwhelmed With Love for Those Who Choose the Special Needs Life

I wanted to share this part of our story with you because it’s important for you to know that others don’t always perceive your child as a burden. It is possible for strangers to find joy in our special children. We sometimes feel like our child is viewed as a liability to the outside world. But the right people, the ones God sends into your life, will see them with a heavenly perspective.

Celebrating My Sister's Life During Down Syndrome Awareness Month

Celebrating My Sister's Life During Down Syndrome Awareness Month

Thursday, March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day (celebrated then because people with Down syndrome have a 3rd copy of their 21st chromosome, Trisomy 21). I hope the voices of those of us who know and love people with Down syndrome will speak loud and clear about the blessings they bring to our lives, not because of what they can or can’t do, but simply because of who they are—created in the image of God.
