Down syndrome rescue
From Pam:Hi Barbara,
I love your blog--yours is the only one I check regularly until recently when i found another that I love: theblessingofverity.com. It is a blog about a woman expecting her 8th child and found out the baby had Down syndrome. She was mad/sad at herself for feeling sad so decided to write about all the blessings Verity gave to them, pre-birth and after.
The most amazing blessing is her birth led them to adopt a little girl from a Bulgarian orphanage who also has Down syndrome. The little girl is 9-1/2 years old and weighed only 10 pounds because of neglect and starvation. Verity's family came in and rescued her about a month ago. The transformation of this little girl--Katerina--is unbelievable. She truly was ransomed from death's door and is a gorgeous little girl. I know you will be blessed by Katie and her family's story.
Thank you for your hard work and thanks for letting me benefit from it.
