Each Wednesday we post links from the previous week that touch on special needs adoption. Our hope is that these small snapshots provide you with a glimpse of life after adopting through China's waiting child program... both the long-term blessings and the challenges that come with parenting a child with special needs. We also hope to raise awareness about a variety of special needs.

Great post. I love the updates. So many times special needs kids get so little good press. Of course there are lots of great books like There's Something About Daniel by author Robyn Stecher
