Words With Meaning

This morning, I was reading Kris' blog ... she is in Estonia right now adopting little Amanda, who has Down syndrome. Kris commented about her trip to the store with Amanda and how uneasy she felt when people around her stopped and peered at Amanda, did a double take or grabbed sleeves and pointed at her. These type of things make her wary of venturing out with Amanda during their time there and at the same time, Kris said she wants to say ...

"It is because of these feelings you have about these precious children that I am here, to give her a life she could never have in your country."

So profound. So true.
