It has beyond amazed me since Miss P's birth the kind of families around us with children like Preslie. They are giving, kind, selfless, strong, courageous and some of the very best people I know. Many times, families that are expectedly and even unexpectedly blessed with a child with special needs find such joy in their journeys no matter how difficult they may be that they end up blessing their home with another child with disabilities. These families have a love and strength that speaks volumes of their character, their love and their heart. They often sacrifice more then any of us could truly realize to find, pay for and bring home another sweet child in need. One of my dear friends from Utah has 4 boys already, 2 with special needs, one has very critical needs, yet they are on a sweet journey to finally bring a baby girl into their home that also happens to have Down Syndrome. I have blogged about this family before and have always had so much love and respect for them as parents and friends. If you get a chance, check them out, give them any support you can, and pass it along.... they are sooo close!

You are so right, its crazy that the middle class gets screwed so much! They want us to be dirt poor and then they'll help us. Ridiculous! Hows the heat there?
Great post, Michelle! Some of the best friendships that are made are through blogging. In if we are lucky, our paths will cross in person! That just makes it MORE special! You are a WONDERFUL friend to share the Rugg's story! Such an AMAZING family. It's so nice to see that things are finally falling into place for them. Can't wait until they bring their baby girl home!
You are right. . . they are an amazing family and have so much love to give, I am hopeful that it will work out very soon.
Thinnking of you and hoping things are going well.
