You Wouldn't....

I wrote this one night when I got home from school and I was tired of people making fun of a kid in my class.

You wouldn't step on a daisy, just because it's missing a petal.
You wouldn't throw out perfect piece of paper.
You wouldn't take back a damaged book.
You wouldn't give away your sick pet.
 So, how come people think it's okay to treat people differently just because they're "different", "broken", "damaged", or "sick". Just because they aren't like us, doesn't mean they don't feel love, hate, happiness, sadness and all the other feelings. Just because they aren't "normal" doesn't mean that they don't have the capacity to learn, yes it takes longer, but they'll still learn the same as you. So how about we stop stepping on their self-esteem? Why not help them? Talk to them? Love them for who they are and not what this world has labeled them as?  They ARE people. They have feelings and they have sadness, when you mock them. So, the next time you think about making a mean, hurtful comment or remark about my brother and others like him, hold your tongue, imagine being in their shoes. "Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you."
Because I say, my Pumpkin boy is PERFECT! And I bet I can get alot more people to agree with me.
Down Syndrome is a TRUE blessing!

I love you Pumpky, and will ALWAYS be here for you! Standing up for you and anything else you need!
Love Sissy.

Constance Needs a Family too.

Hey guys, Constance is a very sweet 4 year old girl. My mom met her, she crawled up into my moms lap and sat there for the longest time, my mom says she is really sweet. My mom is her prayer warrior.

Here is her info thats on ReecesRainbow
Constance (2H)

Girl, Born October 2006
Little Constance is already 4 and facing the institution.   One of our own adoptive families was blessed to have met her during their own adoption visit, so we have multiple photos of her and hope we can find a family for her!
From her medical records:  Down Syndrome, congenital heart disease, moderate mental deficiency.   She does not have siblings.  Constance seems to be social, observing and affectionate little girl.
From our adoptive family who visited with her in November 2010:  " Constance was  a sweet girl, she came up to me, sat next to me on the floor, and got closer and closer until she was in my lap.   She sat in my lap so sweetly holding my hand for a long time.   She is a small girl… before I knew her age I thought she was two years old.   She played well in her groupa…. the caregivers(nannies) for this groupa are wonderful, they love the children, teach the children, and take good care of them.  She is in a loving environment now but will be transferred soon.  It breaks my heart, I wish I could go back and get her.  She is too sweet for words."

I have $250 in my grant fund towards the cost of my adoption!

I really want Constance tofind her forever family, she is very special to me, my sister, and definatly my mom, who met her. She needs a family soon, if you feel she is your baby girl please contact the RR team. :)

Thank you for reading, Amanda.
