Debbie Jarson just turned me on to your blog (literally, 2 minutes ago). This just makes my heart so happy to see posts like this one (albeit from many years ago). I can’t wait to read your book! And I can’t wait to meet you and Sophie!!!

Hello, a friend sent me your blog post, I see you live in AZ? We live in Tucson and have a 7 year old with Down syndrome who really needs a buddy close to her age. Though we adopted two 3 years olds also with Ds, they are too young to be truly good friends to my lonely little girl. Homeschooling makes it hard for her to find friends, and I am struggling with trusting the school system with my precious daughter. I too need to find someone to visit heree and play with her, someone who understands her better than a typical child would.

Hi, I am just a reader but I saw your request. I wasn’t sure if you were looking for another child with Down syndrome for her to play with but I sent your blog to friend who, like me, has daughters with Ds. I hope you can find a friend for Sophie. We adopted one for our daughter, so that she will always have someone to play with her. It has been really great to see the bond grow between them in such a short time. I love your blog by the way!

Amy, it’s Erin, Deborah’s friend. Could you and Sophie come over for a playdate with my 4-year-old daughter, Niamh (it’s Gaelic, pronounced Neev)? Her brother always has playdates and I’m woefully neglectful of her social life. Send me an email and let me know. I think it would be fun.

Hello! This is wild. I was looking at your site yesterday, got distracted and forgot to leave comment. I guess it’s just that great minds think alike. It’s funny, flying with Addison, though there’s obstacles, I think is going to be easier than before – just because he’s so, well you know, so in tune with life. This is what I need every day and on and airline!
