Why?




  • Why are you adopting a child with special needs when you already have a child with special needs?
  • Why do you need to go overseas to adopt when there are children here who need families?
  • Why are you spending so much money to adopt a child?
  • WHY?
This is Terri Lynn at age 4 1/2 years


and just 3 weeks later this is the "new" her. She was transferred to an adult mental institution simply due to her age and her special needs. Take a minute and look at her eyes. Take another minute and look at the bruises on her face. Now spend another minute noticing the difference in her hair.
This is the why? Because these children don't deserve this

It just breaks my heart and hits a little too close to home to think Mia would have been in the same situation right now.
She would have been merely surviving.... but instead she is here with us thriving!

Terri Lyn, and all the other children waiting for families, could have been my girls.
Simply because they were born with an extra chromosome, they would have been locked away forever

Praying that this sweet little girl finds her family before its too late. All it takes is spreading her picture and one of the people who sees her picture could be her momma!
