Saturday Stumbles

I stumbled the blog, Enjoying the Small Things this week. Not only is her photography beautiful, her daughter's birth story is a must read. She gave birth to her baby girl with a room full of friends and to their surprise, she had Down Syndrome.  Her details, along with photos, are gut-wrenchingly real and honest and beautiful.

From that blog, I found Stumbo Family Story, a blog about a family who has one daughter with no disabilities, one daughter with Down Syndrome and adopted a third daughter with cerebral palsy.

From her blog I found Reece's Rainbow, the International Down Syndrome Orphan Ministry.  Oh my...to look through those poor children, mainly in Eastern Europe, who are destined for the institution unless they are adopted.  It is truly heartbreaking.

On a happier note,  Mila's Daydreams is totally, stinkin' cute! This blogger takes a photo of her baby every day in a wonderfully artistic pose. This one is called Bookworm.

For more Saturday Stumbles, head over to It's Come 2 This.
