I’m still making my way through the questions we get asked about Down syndrome. If you missed the first three posts you can read part 1 here, part 2 here, and part 3 right here.
“I’m curious about why you chose to adopt children who have Down syndrome?”
Well…why NOT Down syndrome?
They are totally adorable.
They are as smart as can be.
They love to laugh.
They’re an absolute joy and delight.
They love to imitate.
And are exceptionally good at doing pen art on their hands, as you can see.
The extra chromosome they carry is a blessing….NOT a curse! My God never makes mistakes.
It sure does make them extra-adorable.
They can’t help themselves–they just love music and dancing and are a constant source of entertainment.
They’re the happiest kids on earth!
Seriously.
They love to be loved.
And, oh my goodness, do they know how to LOVE back.
In the arms of those who love them is where they want to be.
If they had their way, their little feet would never hit the ground.
Cute?
You bet!
Playful, happy, affectionate, smiley, interactive, curious, adventurous, content, loving….
Need I say more?
We simply could not find one good reason to say, “No, thanks!”
They’re just one of the Father’s most amazing creations–fearfully and wonderfully made just the way they are. They make the world a sweeter, more lovely place. No words can describe how exceedingly blessed we are that He chose us to be the parents of these sweet girls. We are forever thankful to our God who does all things well.
If we had to do it all over again, we would. Without hesitation.
Down syndrome is such a blessing from heaven.
These children deserve LIFE!
They deserve to be CHOSEN!
