Korean girl

[Guest guest]

- It's Aileen from CT with 34 month old Jake with RSS (23# 5oz).

I was deeply touched by your appeal re: the young girl from Korea. Our

foster child (Jake) has RSS & was diagnosed at 4 months. When we took

him in at 6 months we knew his diagnosis, but not what we were in for.

We also have 4 other children (non RSS). We have learned, made mistakes,

made smart choices with re: to him and his care. (G-tube -triple x) As

we also do with our other children. I feel for the little girl because

she has been turned away from 2 families and she seems to be in limbo..

I'm rambling, the point I want to make is anyone with a big heart, common

sense, support and patience can give a child with RSS a good home. I

wish that little girl the best of luck.

I too felt the same way! My husband and I have always said we would

have adopted if Emerence hadn't finally come along....I am especially

moved because my friend Jill, age 30, is doing fine almost 2 years

now after a double lung transplant due to cystic fibrosis. Her

family had 4 kids yet adopted another child with CF knowing his

condition was the reason no one else wanted him. died just

months ago of CF at the age of 23. What great and selfless parents.
