Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Hi! My name is Jill son. I am a new member to the list--I've been " lurking " for a few days and have enjoyed learning more about all of you and your families. The hard part is going to be trying to keep everyone straight--who's who, who belongs to who, etc.... A little about myself, I have a beautiful 2 1/2 year old son named Mac. Mac is a wonderful little guy! I adopted him when he was 15 months old and that is the best thing I've done in my entire life!! He has so greatly enriched my life and the lives of my family and everyone else he meets!! Mac was born in the US, but he is Chinese. He also happens to have Down syndrome. I am beginning the process of looking for another child to possibly add to our family. This time I would like to find a little girl with DS and, if possible, I'd like it if she were also of Asian decent. Of course, I'd consider other ethnic backgrounds, too. I THINK it would be so nice for Mac to have a sibling, someone to play with, grow up with, learn with, etc.. Of course, it would also be more work, more stress, etc..., but, I think, the pros far outweigh the cons. We'll see what happens. I am also a special education teacher. I teach students with multiple disabilities (moderate to profound) and I hope that will work for me, not against me, in raising Mac. I look forward to learning more and sharing more with all of you.
