a family for Scout
A few months ago, I posted about a little girl named Rosie. I had seen her on the Down syndrome adoption FB group, and was simply taken with her. She was precious in every way and I was surprised that a family hadn’t already come forward for her. She continued to wait and I began to wonder if maybe her family was out there,… Read More

I first read about this precious girl on the Down Syndrome Adoption FB group and was immediately smitten. And when you see her picture, I’m sure you’ll agree. Those chubby legs. That black hair. Those pink cheeks. Oh my. Now that we are home with our Clementine I have a huge soft spot for these very special kiddos. Before we met Clementine, I was so… Read More

We LOVE them and consider them to be one of the very… Read More
Gus
Look at this little guy. His name is Gus. And he is just one year old. And his special need is dwarfism. Ooooh, I can’t stand it. Don’t his little chubby, dimply arms look just like Vivi’s? As y’all probably know, our Vivienne has dwarfism. We still aren’t quite sure what form of dwarfism she has, as there are many,… Read More
NHBO: help wanted
If y’all have been around here long enough, y’all know about No Hands But Ours. No Hands is an advocacy site for China’s special needs program, where we hope to share the real deal about adopting a special needs child. And it is very, very close to my heart.
