Amanda and Kara are both non-verbal, neither are vacant children however, autism spectrum mixed with Down syndrome and post institutionalized behaviors, well, it is never boring here :o) Kara was not diagnosed with autism, she does exhibit many of the behviors, Amanda was diagnosed with autism a year after we adopted her.
We have 8 children and have been married 33 years.
Our sons; Fred, Terry, Eric,and Brian, are on their own. Our daughters are all at home; Julia 19, Meghan 11, and now Kara age 7, our adorable daughter from Ukraine and sweet little Amanda, age 6, adopted from Estonia.
Meghan was born to us, she, Kara, and Amanda have the diagnosis of Down syndrome.
We are a busy family, we advocate for all of our children, especially our three youngest. We feel blessed to have a large family.
