I have a biological child who is 24 and was born with limb deficiencies due to amniotic bands in the womb.. He is missing his left hand and has only 2 fingers on his right hand. His right leg ends at at right above where the knee bone would be and his left foot is missing the outer rays and has 3 toes.. We never held him back from anything and always told him he could do everything that he put his mind to. He is now a computer networker and repairs computers for a very well known squad that runs around in those cute little VW cars.. He is 24 now..still looking for that woman who will look beyond the body and love him for the wonderful man he is.
We were not planning on adopting again after our blessing from Guatemala but had signed with a website for adopting special needs(limb def) when we were adopting our Guat son..and never heard anything except for 2 years later of a little 2 year old with limb deficient arms. So we felt this was a God thing.. So we are on track to adopt this little boy who we feel is meant to be ours. We have been down this road before and we are actually looking forward to giving this child the same chance my older one had. I would love to take more home, but my husband says 7 kids is enough!
thats my story..
