I stopped at the one of the little girl you now committed to. PRAISE GOD!! She stole my heart and I so wanted her to have a home. Thank you for loving these precious angels.babyarniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04801071790359330595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005861697438274250.post-60474941439228611682009-12-03T19:43:13.433-06:002009-12-03T19:43:13.433-06:00Beautiful post.

She is absolutely 100% PURE joy. I sat up with her until 3AM last night while she was just not sleepy and wanted to sing. Every second was pure joy. It's just the craziest thing. She's the best thing that has ever happen to our family. And to think that I actually cried when I heard the diagnosis. Pssshhh! I don't cry anymore! The 90% of women who chose abortion over parenting an angel on Earth just have NO clue what they are missing.<br /><br />Bianca<br />www.joeandbianca.blogspot.comBianca Olivierhttp://www.joeandbianca.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005861697438274250.post-18163434990220003792009-12-03T09:13:50.738-06:002009-12-03T09:13:50.738-06:00I struggle with seeing those with DS as the "...I struggle with seeing those with DS as the "paper bag" growing up with a cousin with DS has just given me a different perspective.

I am not really religious but have been taken a new look at religion since my son was born. It's a transforming experience having a child with ds. I am still learning. Again thanks for this post.Sasha@ Blyssfulhealthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645600854443758785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005861697438274250.post-87372456224442785752009-12-02T22:30:58.555-06:002009-12-02T22:30:58.555-06:00I have always felt one of the greatest gifts for u...I have always felt one of the greatest gifts for us, that came packaged as Down syndrome, was a new perspective about what is really important.Josettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686244697972716604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005861697438274250.post-3141646356742104242009-12-02T22:29:45.099-06:002009-12-02T22:29:45.099-06:00Very well said and thought provoking!

I think what you are doing, and the response you are getting is so inspiring. These children truly are a gift from God and I'm so glad to see so many people helping you!Jenny Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14805338914279020464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005861697438274250.post-78184030180664295132009-12-02T21:51:16.642-06:002009-12-02T21:51:16.642-06:00Just started following your blog and I love this p...Just started following your blog and I love this post! I have a 6 month old who has DS. We knew before he was born he would have it so we were prepared. I totally feel that God is trying to show people something through Down syndrome! I know people think it's a cliche when you say children and people with DS are like angels and I'm not saying that but just as you said- they have unconditional love, they don't judge, they strive to be better, they trust everyone-are they not truly how God wants all of us to be? There is something to that. <br /><br />I admire your family and your daughter and other families that are helping these children have a good life and giving them the chance they deserve! God bless your family!Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803241505573440439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005861697438274250.post-82174521985129224532009-12-02T21:15:08.144-06:002009-12-02T21:15:08.144-06:00Wow, what a great analogy.

Not sure how much but will pray on it and email you soon. Your story is moving in my life and I will explain that in my e-mail. What a roller coaster ride this life can be! A friend told me today that if you can think of it that isn't it because God thinks so much bigger than we ever can.

I look at those photos and think of her looking up at me through those thick lenses and the thought of her being a paper bag makes me laugh! <br /><br />LOVE the song that Lydia wrote. Wow, what a heart that girl has.<br /><br />I finally watched the video. She's about the cutest thing I've ever seen.<br /><br />I haven't forgotten our conversation. I'm wrestling it out with God, but I need prayers.... I'm so tired! <br /><br />Love you sister!Over-Caffeinatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658566615469274477noreply@blogger.com
