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!

A Letter from Big Brother Diego (age 5)
Dear Joaquin,
Baby, I like you so much because you are so cute and fuzzy. I am happy to be your big brother. I like to play with you and put your toys in front of you so you can crawl to get them. I like to call you “Softy” because you are so soft. When you grow up some day, I’ll miss you as a baby because you are so cute. When you are 5 years old, I’ll be 11! I want to teach you how to play soccer, basketball and baseball. I love you very much.
Diego
