Living life one day at a time as a family of six...3 busy and bouncy boys and 1 Ukrainian princess. Our third son Joaquin was our unexpected blessing who came to us with a little something extra called Down syndrome and inspired us to adopt Sofia an orphan we fell in love with through Reece's Rainbow. We hope that our story will help open people's eyes to the beauty and gift that ALL children are. We are all more alike than different!

Kidaround
If you live in the Greater Sacramento area, pick up a copy of Kidaround Magazine at any of these locations. There is a great article on Jen and Baby Joaquin, and as you can see our friend Penny took an awesome photo for the cover. If you are from out of town, you can see and read the magazine online here.
This is Penny's original photo:

ReplyDeleteI love this picture...it is so sweet! I have enjoyed peeking in from time to time at your blog, your family is absolutely beautiful! You had my son Luke giggling hysterically when you posted the video of Joaquin on the crawling track, very cute! I will check out the article in Kidaround when it becomes available on the web.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Can't wait to read the story! Will's story was featured in the same magazine about 2 years ago. What a standout publication to feature regular coverage of families "with a little extra".
ReplyDeleteAgain, congrats...and you've got a real cutie there :)
What an amazing photo that captures the unmistakable love between a mom and her child.
ReplyDeleteWe picked up a copy tonight while at Big Spoon Yogurt. What a beautiful account of your life together and your journey to this point. We are blessed to know you all.
ReplyDeleteI loved your article in Kidaround magazine. It's great to hear other local families' stories. My oldest son, Tysen is almost 6 years old with Downs. We have 3 boys as well...it's a never ending adventure, huh? Our family blog is www.churchmancrew.blogspot.com if you wanna check it out. I look forward to checking in on you & your family. :)
ReplyDeleteI read the article today. He's a beautiful baby and you have a lovely family. I hope to meet you one day. We found out a birth -- I, too, refused the prenatal tests for all 4 of my children. I didn't want to worry if anything showed up. Our baby is a huge blessing to our family and all who know him.
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
