I'm reading back through your blog and so glad I found this! :) My husband and I are in the process of adopting two girls from Eastern Europe, who both have down syndrome. Emilie is 1 and Abigail is 5. We know our girls can be world changers someday - just like your Kayla already is, and Abby already is!! Your blog is such an encouragement to this future-mama's heart! (The girls we are adopting will be our first children) Thank you!!! <br /><br />Jennifer<br />Emilie & Abigail's Mama-to-be!<br />http://jenniferloveslobsters.blogspot.comJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613765541160592353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-2668183903336001542012-01-29T14:21:32.837-05:002012-01-29T14:21:32.837-05:00I loved that video.

I know that inclusion isn't for every person or every disability, but being open to possibilities is what is important in the education system.tracey.becker1@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606831315390042198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-16120074210806818922012-01-28T23:13:36.966-05:002012-01-28T23:13:36.966-05:00You've made me think hard about complete inclu...You've made me think hard about complete inclusion. Our county doesn't offer complete inclusion but a unit in a regular school. I'm hoping there will be more options by the time Ben goes to school.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315418096327968090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-9522776681796552132012-01-28T13:24:18.515-05:002012-01-28T13:24:18.515-05:00Great video.

I sometimes wonder if education played a bigger role than Chuck and I first thought. <br /><br />When Beth was in preschool she was so different than she is today. She was bright, intelligent, and had a lot of friends. When we moved to another state we found the school system was far behind the schools we had just left. If I had a chance to do it all again, I would definitely do it differently.<br /><br />Abby is a great inspiration!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13760897671143549963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-69552905207573105392012-01-27T15:22:57.948-05:002012-01-27T15:22:57.948-05:00What a great video...says it all :) Inclusion is s...What a great video...says it all :) Inclusion is so important. In NE they included the kids as much as possible. Some went to spec ed classes for part of the day, others had an aid assist them in the regular classroom. Here is SD - the schools are just low standard all the way around... Sad to say. I know your daughter will do very well in school... Keeping you all in prayer :)Kathleenhttp://theemptynestexpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24014954.post-52267220783548764272012-01-26T14:55:53.202-05:002012-01-26T14:55:53.202-05:00They said the same thing to me.

When I was in school they told me that I wouldn't be able to go to university (I went for 2 years. I proved them wrong. It sounds like Abby has a good time at the Preschool. I think she is a valuable part of society.Toonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035308590730363327noreply@blogger.com
