For most of you, you know my sister personally but those that don't know heres a introduction & a little more.
Sarah is almost 24 years old, loves to dance, sing, & act.
She LOVES playing scrabble & beat everyone at disney trivia. Unlike most people with Down Syndrome she has been healthy with no typical problems that usually come along with that diagnosis. Down Syndrome has not been too much of a problem as her Social Phobia which is also unusal since most people with Down Syndrome are pretty outgoing.
Its kinda interesting how life turns out, when we were little before our younger sister stephanie came along Sarah & I were best buds always playing together even with our 4 yr age difference. Now Stephanie & Sarah are best of buds always creating new dance routines. I really don't mind, I think its awesome that they love to do stuff together.
If she had been born in a different country, she would probably be sitting in a institution somewhere doing nothing. My sister is smart & its my goal in life to let people know even in this judgemental world of ours, that ALL LIFE IS PRECIOUS, & it really is not the end of the world that you have a child with special needs. So they might learn a little bit slower, do things a bit different, but they are children of God & are every bit MORE ALIKE THAN DIFFERENT! God created us all, & not all of us are perfect.
Hi there! We found your blog from your Celine + Cora Lynne blog, and wanted to thank you for all you are doing for these sweet girls. We are in the process of adopting 1 (maybe 2) little girls from Reece's Rainbow. It is really nice to read about your experience with your sister--we hope our daughter (12 years) is as close to her new sisters.
