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!

Gifts 2
It's here! And ready for pre-sale at Woodbine House and Amazon.
I cannot wait to get my hands on this. I cannot wait to read it cover to cover. We are contributing authors in the book so we are especially excited to see it in print.
Gifts, the first book, was a life saving book for me in the early days of receiving Joaquin's diagnosis. I truly believe that reading Gifts helped move me quickly out of the grieving process and into complete joy and anticipation. We honestly feel that Joaquin is a GIFT and the book certainly was a gift as well.
To be able to give back to other families now in Gifts 2 is an honor. We are so proud of Kathryn Soper's work in collecting the stories and publishing these amazing books...these amazing GIFTS.
Don't you just love the cover photo?

ReplyDeleteWe just got back today from a camping trip to the Sequoia's...yesterday by the river we met and got to talking to a wonderful family...the mom happened to be an OB in Los Angeles. I asked her if she had delivered a baby with Down syndrome. She hadn't, not yet, so I told her to please remember the name of the book Gifts and when the occasion arose to please find a copy for that family and reassure them that their child is such a celebration and truly a gift. She gave me a hug and thanked me...she had no idea this book existed and was glad to know a way to reach out and comfort her patients.
We are so excited for this book too! My father-in-law wrote a story about our Brayden...this is awesome to know other families that are going to be in the book...we are getting our pre-order in as well...:)
