Good news! Our documents are out of customs and are in the hands of our Attorney in Sebastians country. It did require a customs fee of around $65 that we will have to pay but at least they are in the hands they need to be..and our dossier could be submitted soon. The thing is we need funds we need about $4000 to make sure we are all set for the 1st trip to go and see our boy.
Please help us if you can. You can donate using our chip in here on the side of this blog or you can donate to our family page on Reece's rainbow here Donate to help bring Sebastian home it all adds up and all helps.
thanks you!

Down syndrome
Sometimes I forget that everyone else is not surrounded by Down syndrome,That my child may be the first child they have ever met that has DS, That the looks or misspoken words are just from not knowing.
I am surrounded by down syndrome, my little man has Down syndrome, I see it all day long. Not only him but most of my friends on facebook are parents of children with DS or they are advocates for Reece's Rainbow. Most the blogs I read are about children and Families that have DS in their lives. I see picture after picture of cute little kids with DS all day long. So it is just so normal to me, as normal as Vahnya having red hair and brown eyes, it's just him.
It's so normal to me that now I don't see it if that makes any sense. Sometimes I forget Vahnya has Down syndrome and I wonder when we go out if people notice it or can tell. I forget and then someone will say something or smile at him in that knowing way and I remember.
Down syndrome is just part of my life I forget that it is not part of everyones lives. I wish it were the world would be a much happier place.
I can't wait to welcome into our lives another little boy who also has Down syndrome.

a little set back
Some not so good news we got yesterday.a value of $50 was put on the package of documents our last documents to complete or Dossier's. Mike shipped them Fedex and didn't know that he should not put a value on them, when it asked for a value he just put $50. Since it has a $50 value listed, they are holding the documents in customs and requiring a customs fee. Last time this happened with a family, it took about a week for them to be released. They won't deliver any documents if there is a value on them :(We are now waiting to find out what happens next.
