is the story of one family's journey through life with a very special child with Down syndrome and a complicated medical history and how we have learned to DANCE through the tulips.

Call to Action
So I've been stirred lately. Stirred by the drama going on with the angels abandoned by their parents and left to be institutionalized like worthless pieces of trash thrown into the dumpster. Stirred by something I find hard to comprehend. I'm speaking of the fate of many children with Down syndrome and special needs in other countries, where these special children are not valued. I mean, maybe this isn't an issue in the states because there is more advanced medical care and therefore more early detection and abortion, but I'd like to think the human race is better then that. I would like to think we have learned to value the lives of children with special needs. I know I have. I was raised better then that. Anyway,this is obviously a HOT issue for me and something that I feel I MUST address and become active in. I haven't figured out how or what to do yet. I'd LOVE to adopt, but that is just not in the cards for us right now. Maybe some day. . . until then, I have to figure out HOW to get involved and it starts with this post and hopefully the education of some. I urge every one of you to follow this link HERE to read more about Reeces Rainbow and see all the waiting children thrown to the way side. And I urge you to get involved, if you can find it in your hearts.
