And October was National Down Syndrome Month. I don't want to talk about it so much that you get tired of hearing it, but, well, it's all dear to my heart.
A lot has gone on since I last posted. I was so frustrated with whatever it is that I'm doing wrong on this new updated blogger that I had to take a break from it...hopefully I'll get better at this.
In case you're wondering: Mike and I adopted our four youngest children domestically (in the USA). I've always wanted to adopt internationally, but our income is such that we don't qualify at the US immigrations level to adopt an orphan waiting in an international orphanage. But for many families, it's a great option. And it is literally saving a life.
Each of our four little ones came to us as infants. They were born in various states and there were agency fees and travel each time. But the people who referred them to us do not charge anything for their services. I have asterisked those on the sidebar that we have worked with. I have only good things to say about Robin Steele of the Down syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati, and also Adopt America Network. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. My address is below our picture on the upper part of the sidebar.
My favorite scripture has always been the one where Jesus said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God." His words touch me deeply.
In the USA, babies who are discovered prenatally to have Down syndrome are most often aborted. This is heartbreaking!!!
Mike and I stand against abortion.
And we love our kids! ALL of them. I wish I could tell you how much.
