Parents are often shocked and saddened when they first discover the diagnosis of their special child. In time, with prayer and the support of others, we come to see the hand of God and His infinite Wisdom.
Not only does God hand-pick our children for us, He sends them to the perfect parents, especially when that child needs extra love and care.
Parenting a special child becomes our path to holiness. Doors are opened, and amazingly kind and caring people come into our lives that we never would have met through the rearing of typical children.
