Hmmmm......where to begin. Clear at the beginning? Nah, too far back. how about a brief synopsis. After 9 fun yet childless years of marriage, my husband and I decided to be foster parents. First we got Terry, age 2.5, followed 2 days later by baby brother Abe, age 2 months. They were adorable and we loved them instantly. We were certain they would eventually go back to their birth mom, but we loved them like they were ours in the meantime. a short week and a half later, our licensing worker called and said they had a 1 month old baby boy with Down Syndrome available for adoption, and would we be interested. Uh, YEAH!!! My husband and I have a special place in our hearts for children with DS. Scott's baby brother has DS and we adore him. We were so excited about adopting such a special boy, and also a little frightened. We met the birth mom the next day. She felt comfortable with us immediately, and asked us to be precious little Jacob's family. Then we got to go to the hospital and meet our new SON!!! It was very exciting/scary/overwhelming/etc. We looked at that face, and saw those CHEEKS!! Oh, what a precious boy. So much for the BRIEF synopsis. This may take many days to finish, before I can even start writing about our current event. Oh, well. Stay tuned.....
