  5. Congrats on your article! My aunt just called my mom to ask if we had seen it, or if I 'knew' you from blogging. Went to RR site and found you there. I have a 6 yr old daughter w/Ds and we have been contemplating adopting through RR.

    You have a beautiful family!

  6. So neat! I'll check it out. And please let Kevin know that I am so sorry I didn't call him when he was in town. We all ended up gettiNG the stomach flu and Polly's surgery was rescheduled. Ugh. Anyway, would love to have him over next time he's in town.

  9. The disappointing part is that they did not mention Reece's Rainbow. Don't know why...but perhaps people will google Down syndrome and adoption and get RR!

  11. I looked for the magazine today at Wal-mart and couldn't find that issue. Did I miss it? The date you gave was the 1st. It's only the 2nd of February. I would love to read the article for myself if you have a way of sending one. How exciting!
