Mom is due March 7, 2014. There is a legal father and a birth father that is unknown.

I know not everyone is called to be a parent to a special needs child, but feel that they wish to start or grow their family through adoption. If these situations work for your family and you are homestudy ready; 🙂  I hope to hear the good news!! But, if these situations do not work for you and yours, please share so these babies will be welcomed into loving families right from the start!

I do not work with neither do I endorse or am reimbursed in any way by any entity.
