~Angels Among Us............

I received an email from a friend sending me a link to a very special families blog that is on their journey to bringing their sweet baby girl home through adoption. They are trying to raise funds to bring their angel home and my friend donated a very pretty bracelet that she made to auction off. There is only one day left so if you would like to head on over and make a donation or just send them wonderful wishes I have posted the link below.........
(I tried to put the link on their babies picture but I am not savvy enough to know how to do this so go to the link below the picture)!

Precious baby Reese has Down Syndrome and in honor of this month being "National Down Syndrome Awareness Month" I wanted to share this beautiful poem..........


~Creed of Babies with Down Syndrome~

My face might be different
But my feelings the same
I laugh and I cry
And I take pride in my gains
I was sent here among you
To teach you to love
As God in the heavens
Looks down from above
To him I'm no different
His love knows no bounds
It's those here among you
In cities and towns
That judge me by standards
That man has imparted
But this family I've chosen
Will help me get started
For I'm one of the children
So special and few
That came here to learn
The same lessons as you
That love is acceptance
It must come from the heart
We all have the same purpose
Though not the same start
The Lord gave me life
To live and embrace
And I'll do as you do
But at my own pace.
