Looks can be somewhat deceiving! The stories behind these three kids would make a movie that would not be forgotten. Rather than choosing to abort as many women in this nation would do, in an attempt to save the lives of both, Jordan and Jason were both delivered caesarean at around 7+ months, dead at birth but yet revived and survived but not without handicap issues. Both have cerebral palsy as a result of the oxygen deprivation, and Jason suffering more severe CP handicaps as well as declared to be legally blind. The lenses in his glasses are as thick as coke bottle bottoms. Both boys have 'permanent' limiting physical issues including eyesight, coordination, etc.
And Mackenzie - born to a young mother who was hooked on multiple drugs. Both the birth mother and child were victims of severe child abuse (of the kind pedophelia is made of). Mackenzie has multiple diagnoses of 3 letter 'conditions' that cause her, the family, her few friends and her school allot of problems.
The new parents adopted Mackenzie at age 4 after a long (years) court struggle and thousands of dollars needing to be expended for her medical/psychiatric costs then and since. Mac has mental conditions (from the child abuse suffered and that caused by the drugs, etc. her mother was taking prior to Mac's birth) that require miracle deliverance and healing.
I am not asking for your money. More than that, the family and the children would greatly appreciate your prayers. Tensions get high at times - imagine if you had 3 special needs children, all tugging at you and each other at the same time, and you're trying your best to manage their health, physical, emotional and educational needs as well as your own as parents - all at the same time.
This couple literally sacrificed their lives to protect, care and provide for the lives of these children. Multiply their situation by the thousands and you can get a good idea of what others are also experiencing. Today one can get an abortion easily enough to be 'rid of' a 'problem' - but this couple did NOT consider abortion despite the pending diagnosis of their two sons. Most would never adopt a 'troubled' child no matter how cute or how badly a couple might want a child. These three children would be cast aside, left to their own fate. The parents have the heart and the fortitude to extend to each one their love, caring and provision as best they can. And even with their own problems that they manage to work through on a daily basis, they make themselves available to others who come to them with their problems for guidance and compassion. The 'light and love' definitely shows forth through this entire family.
Their story would make an excellent interview for Dr. Phil and Oprah.

So why am I printing this on the blog? Because there are many across this nation who are experiencing similar situations. This little family is in the background. Few know of the sacrifices they make and the situations they deal with every day. Few would ever think of providing any sort of help. Few if any would look upon this couple and think to thank them for the sacrifices they make. Most in our nation go on their merry way and have no concern for the needs and experiences of others.
I know this family and am personally aware of all that they have been going through for many years now. I am posting their story to give honor to them for the love and caring they show to others daily DESPITE their own needs, and to make America aware that there are several of our brothers and sisters 'out there' who could use your prayers - and even offers to help. THIS FAMILY ESPECIALLY NEEDS DIVINE INTERVENTION on their behalf.
