Demi,
What a wonderful report on Ryan! I am so happy for you guys. He sounds like
such a little blessing. I am soooooo with you on the nurture thing. I have
personally (and unfortunately) seen the differences a truly loving family can
make for a child with disabilities. They know from a very early age if they
are loved or not and that can make a huge difference in development.
You, my friend, are doing a terrific job!

The clay doesn?t ask, ?Why did
you make me this way??? (Isaiah 45:9 CEV).
