  1. I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for offering this amazing ability to get to know these beautiful kids and their families. . This is a rare gift that you offer, allowing us an opportunity to see that all people have immeasurable value. We are all deserve love and acceptance.

  2. Hi..This is not meant to be mean spirited at all. Seems almost all the parents of very disabled children say they would not change them which seems very unbelievable. They also never touch on how exhausting and stressful their life is, it is all flowers and rainbows. They do not state how the marriage suffers, how the other children suffer. I just wish they would be honest. One woman cried and admitted how sad she is which was the most truthful I believe. This is not meant to be mean or negative, but I just wish these people would be honest.
