About Me
- NDMom
- Hello! My name is Paula Burckhard. I am married to Kevin and have five children: Elizabeth (20), Samuel (17), Grace (14 w/Down syndrome), Bella (9 w/Down syndrome adopted from Ukraine 2009); and Nole' (7 w/Down syndrome adopted from Serbia 2011) We are a family that loves God and desires to bring him Glory in all we do.
Bella Bogdana Burckhard
This "beautiful gift from God" has been given to us through the miracle of adoption. She became part of our family in August 2009. We are excited to see how God will use this Ukrainian princess for his glory!
Nole' (listed as Nathan) Came Home on March 2, 2011 from Serbia!
Grace & Bella
I can totally identify. I am tired of hearing people at my Christian school use that word. For people like me who love somebody with DS (my cousin) or any other special need, it is very offensive. I put one of those buttons on my blog too! You have a lovely family, and I hope your precious Bella gets to come home soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rachel! That's great about putting it on your blog--you go girl!!!!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless, Paula
This is Kassie.
ReplyDeleteAll over my junior high, there are posters and people that are wearing buttons that say,
"Erase the R word!" One of my friends has been writing it on the white board in his classes!
We will spread the word here in Texas!! :-)
Dear Kassie!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a cool girl! (and a great niece!) Thanks for standing up for what is right!!!
Love you, Aunt Paula
